## **Episode Guide**

"**Launch Date**" is the first episode of the eighth season of *Voltron: Legendary Defender*.

## Synopsis

*The Paladins spend one last night on Earth in preparation for the launch of the Atlas. Lance works up the courage to ask Allura an important question.*

## Plot

The episode starts with an image of a cartoon playing on a television, then shows Pidge in a hospital bed watching and complaining about her voice in the show.

The mysterious Altean is then shown lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by beeping monitors. A few people in protective clothing and masks observe her and make sure her vitals are steady. Romelle then comes in, recognizing her as a citizen of the colony.

A while later, Hunk and Lance are shown together; Hunk is ecstatic that they are heroes of their own t.v show, even though the show is rather inaccurate.

Hunk describes Lance's depiction in the show as being spot-on, Allura as being rather different, and Coran being fairly close but way too serious, but what strikes him as being most off is that Keith is happy. There is a subtle subtext of a possible romance between him and Allura. Lance becomes very angry; he is upset that he never worked up the courage to ask Allura on a date.

Altean Colony

Lotor and Altean refugees building the Colony

The Altean Colony was constructed on a planet in the Quantum Abyss by Prince Lotor. He had constructed this colony to restore Altea, Alteans, and Altean culture. Lotor hid the colony in the Abyss so the Galra Empire won't find it. He helped construct homes, farms and other essential facilities. The refugees saw Lotor as a God or savior. In return Lotor gave them protection. But this wasn't Lotor's true intentions.

## Altean Colonization

Following his exile from the Galra Empire, Prince Lotor had gathered all the Surviving Alteans who were off-world after Altea had been destroyed and convinced them all to come with him to a hidden planet deep within the quantum abyss where they would be safe from Zarkon’s grasp and created a virtual paradise where Altean culture and society could thrive. It's also likely during this time, Lotor had begun to harness quintessence from Altean life force from the colonists who had met the qualifications for it, killing thousands for generations.

## Harvesting Quintessance

Romelle, told the Paladins, Shiro, Coran, and Krolia about what Lotor was dong to the Alteans there. Lotor's true intentions were to harvest Quintessence from the Alteans. He lied to them about a second colony. And that going here was of high honor. Many innocent Alteans were taken to this "second colony" only to find out their Quintessance was going to be harvested. Romelle eventually finds out what happens when her brother escapes in a shuttle pod and back to the colony. He tells her it's all a lie and that Lotor was harvesting Quitessance from Alteans. The Paladins eventually stop Lotor and his schemes by killing him in the Quintessance Feild.

## Honerva's Army

The witch Hagar also known Honerva rose to power after the downfall of the Galran Empire in VLD Season 8. She departed to the Abyss and found the Colony her son, Lotor, had established. Wanting revenge for the death of her son, she recruited the Alteans at the colony. She told them Voltron had killed Lotor. Doing so made the Alteans want revenge as well, so the Alteans constructed Robeasts that almost resembled the Sincline Mech Lotor controlled. Together they tried to destroy Voltron and the Coalition.

## After the final battle

After the final battle in the realm that contained all the realities, the Alteans returned to the new Altea. They and Coran began to reconstruct everything that was on the original Altea. An example of addition to the new Altea was the statue of Princess Allura.
Altea

**Altea** was the home planet of the Altean race ruled by King Alfor, his wife, and Princess Allura, with the aid of their advisor, Coran. It is where the Voltron Lions and the Castle of Lions were built.

Zarkon destroyed Altea 10,000 years ago out of revenge for Alfor destroying planet Daibazaal to erase a dangerous reality rift caused by a Trans-Reality Comet. Altea was the final planet to be destroyed in its entire solar system by Zarkon's rage-driven war, and the people of Altea were eradicated to near extinction.

## Environment

Altea was a planet blooming with the beauty of its purple juniberry flowers. The Altean race built a civilization with impressive technology seemingly unexplainable by science alone. Altea seemed to have several artificial megastructural rings encircling it, all equally separated from each other. It is unclear whether Altea's blue-colored surface was its diffraction of its atmosphere due to their star or that most of Altea was covered with oceans. Coran does not recognize the concept of rain, but claims that boiling hot rocks frequently fell from the sky.

## Inhabitants

* *For more information, see the Alteans article.*

Alteans are aliens nearly identical to humans of Earth. Their defining features are pointed ears and pupils with a colored speck in the center. Alteans are known to have facial markings, usually sickle-shaped under each eye with additional markings possible on their cheeks, foreheads, upper lips, or covering their eyes. The facial markings vary in color by individuals, as do hair, eye, and skin color. The royal family is known to have the traits of silver hair and brown skin in its bloodline.

The culture of Alteans remains largely unknown, but they appeared to be a morally-sound, well-intentioned race that valued diplomacy, protection of allies, respect for the universe, and peace. They were ruled as a kingdom by a royal family, the last known ruler being the deceased King Alfor. Altean technology is highly advanced, powered by both Quintessence and the species' own energy. One of the species' most notable technological advancements was the development of teludavs for traveling via Wormhole, but only a few Alteans were capable of powering such a device.

## Trivia

* The planet has not been shown up close and in full unobscured.
* Having rocks as rain could be referencing models of exoplanet "Vaporized rock showers".
* The name "Altea" originates from planet Altea of *Beast King GoLion*, the planet used to create Arus in *Defender of the Universe*.

Oriande

**Oriande** is a mysterious realm containing the origins of Altean alchemy, which was used by Alfor to create Voltron. Long thought to be an Altean folktale, its existence is substantiated by ancient carvings and tales throughout the universe. It is sought by Lotor and Allura, who attempt its trials to gain its secret knowledge, though only Allura succeeds.

## Environment

The entrance to Oriande is within a white hole between three celestial bodies called the *Patrulian Zone*; this is surrounded by a spacecraft graveyard of ships rendered lifeless and destroyed by the white hole's radiation. As such, the area has long been deemed off-limits for centuries, as no ships are said to return from it. The realm can only be located using a *compass stone*, an object holding a map to the location and acting as a key to enter into Oriande's deeper trials.

Inside the white hole is a massive form of Oriande's guardian spirit, the White Lion, who refuses entry to any deemed unworthy. Only those with the *Mark of the Chosen*, seen in the form of glowing Altean markings, can safely pass through the mouth of the White Lion and enter Oriande's true realm.

MFE Fighter

The **Mecha-Flex-Exo Ares Fighters**, or simply **MFEs**, were human-made aerial and space warfare jets. These fighters were created by Commander Samuel Holt in the Galaxy Garrison after his return. In season 7 of VLD the first generation of MFEs was a success, resulting in the creation of four second-generation MFEs that were built to defend Earth from the Galra. These fighters resembled standard Garrison fighters but had very advanced weaponry taken from Altean schematics Samuel had taken back to Earth from the Castle of lions.

These agile ships were powered by crystal technology, removing the need to stop for refueling. The pilots of the known four fighters are James Griffin, Ina Leifsdottir, Ryan Kinkade, and Nadia Rizavi. These pilots were said to be the best in their class, so they were chosen to fly the ships.

## Weapons

The MFEs had multiple weapon systems on them. There was a main cannon underneath the nose and cockpit. The fighters also carried many electro-pulse missiles. In one scene, Cadet Griffin is seen shooting down a Galra fighter with a tail gun. In the seventh episode of Season 7, Cadet Rizavi uses micro-pulse boosters in training.

## Design

Both generations of MFE-Ares fighters have two main engines on the back and two long wings, as well as a tinted windshield and a storage area in the remaining space inside the fighter and are piloted by a single pilot while a rear seat behind can be occupied by a co-pilot or passenger if needed. the second generation of fighters is far larger and bulkier than the first generation.

## Trivia

* The MFEs specifically the second generation was originally meant to be transformable into literal flying mechs and back into fighter form, heavily inspired by the legendary Marcross anime series but were scrapped due to CG budget limitations, suffering the same fate as the Sincline ships being reduced to three instead of five.
Naxzela

**Naxzela** is a planet that was formerly occupied by the Galra Empire. It was originally formed by Altean terraforming technology, but the plant was shut down long ago. Haggar uses her dark magic to remotely reactivate the technology and turn the planet into a bomb. It is freed from the Empire's control by the Voltron Coalition and Lotor, securing a third of the Empire's territory.

## Environment

Naxzela is a hospitable planet with a breathable atmosphere. It is largely colonized as a military base for the Galra Empire. The rocky surface is covered in a dense fog. The military base comprises a large station surrounded by a cloaked minefield and the skies are filled with Galra warships.

The core of the planet is an ancient decommissioned Altean terraforming plant that is connected to towering generators covering the planet's surface. These generators do not rise from their station until the core is activated, at which point they create an energy field preventing anything from leaving the surface. The barrier consists of a nearly indestructible forcefield physically blocking escape, as well as a spike in gravity levels that even Voltron has difficulty fighting against. The generator rods are hollow and lead down to the core of the planet.

Heximite makes up a large portion of the planet's surface; it is a chemical component which will explode when put under too much pressure, making the planet a deadly bomb when that could annihilate as much as ten solar systems if the terraforming technology is reactivated.

There are no known inhabitants occupying the planet aside from Galra military.

## Gallery

## Trivia

* Magnetic distortion from the planet's terraforming technology prevents communication with anyone on it.

* Naxzela's location is within or near the Galra map of zone Rebulon 55. The bomb explosion is predicted to affect zones Rebulon 4 through 69, an entire quadrant.

Guardian of Krell

The **guardian of Krell** is a massive insect-like creature of an unknown species living on planet Krell that protects the village of native residents from the Abomination, another monstrous creature. Every year, the natives of Krell cook a feast for the guardian, who usually eats a few of the villagers as well, so the guardian will continue to defend the village from the Abomination.

When the Voltron Paladins arrive seeking the Yalex for a Yalexian Pearl to pay off Coran's debt to Kythylian Mu, the team mistakes the guardian for the Yalex and battles it. This unfortunately ends in the guardian's death.

## Biology

The guardian is bipedal and as tall as Voltron, with green outer shell armor that is strong enough to withstand the Mouth Cannons of the Voltron Lions and the saber of Voltron. It has four pairs of arms: two small pairs on its torso, one massive pair at its shoulders, and a final pair on its shoulder blades. Three pairs of its arms have large pincers, while the pair situated on its shoulder blades end in sickle blades. The guardian has two eyes, two horns on each side of its jaw, and prominent teeth strong enough to damage the armor of the Yellow Lion. In the end, it is only the guardian's own sickle blades that can pierce through its armor.

## Trivia

* The guardian species has only been seen once, and it is not known if more of it exist.

Beta Traz Warden

Occupation| * Warden of Beta Traz

The **Beta Traz Warden** is an officer of the Galra Empire who oversees the prison called Beta Traz that holds Slav. He has a pet yupper named Laika.

## Personality

The warden seems ruthless in his duties, delightfully torturing Slav by forcefully and painfully extracting knowledge from the brilliant scientist's mind. However, he has a soft spot for his pet yupper, Laika. He is angered that anyone would try to separate her from him, and does not dwell long on the loss of Slav because he still has Laika at his side.

## Abilities

The warden has a robotic pack attached to his body by shoulder straps and a belt that, when activated by the button on his belt, will inject canisters of refined Quintessence into his neck on either side. This substance greatly increases his strength and makes him grow into a massive form; an extra pair of robotic arms at each hip also activates when the warden prepares to fight. The arms normally rest over his shoulders on stand-by. In his Quintessence-infused form, even a charged punch from Shiro's arm cannot overpower the warden's boosted robotic appendages.

## Trivia

* The warden does not have a confirmed name.

* The warden's pet, Laika, is a reference to the dog Laika, one of the first animals sent to space who did not survive the ordeal.

Galran Battle Cruiser

Galra Battle Cruisers were the backbones of the Galra fleets. They were stationed all over the Universe and were used as battleships, cargo transports, and security ships.

## Weapons

The cruisers had many small laser cannons on the sides. They also sported heavy ion cannons for maximum damage. Ion cannons were located on the dorsal side and in hangar bays of the cruisers. The ships also had a tractor beam to pull in any vessels. For the offensive the ships carried thousands of Galra Fighters.

\*The ion cannon was easily dented by the Yellow Lion in episode one. It was then quickly repaired by drones.

Like everything else Galra, the weapons (lasers, ion cannon beam, tractor beam) are magenta.

## Defense

The battle cruisers appear to be able to form a particle barrier around the ion cannon, which effectively protects it from attack. Whether or not the cannon can fire through this barrier is unknown, but if it works the same as the Castle defenses, it probably can.

Only a barrier and a cannon are seen like this. The cannon is also very weak since many paladins have destroyed it by using jaw blades and by ramming it.

Battle cruisers can repair themselves fairly easily. In Episode One, after the cannon is damaged by Hunk, Sendak and Haxus send drones to quickly repair it. The cannon is repaired in the matter of minutes.

## Areas

From what we see, a typical Galran Battle Cruiser has these areas:

* Hangars/bays where fighters dock.
* Bridge (Central Command)
* Escape pods
* Brig

## **Episode Guide**

"**Collection and Extraction**" is the tenth episode of the first season of *Voltron: Legendary Defender*.

## Synopsis

*The team stops at an isolated and seemingly insignificant Galra space station and discovers how the empire is gathering its energy from the universe.*

## Plot

As Pidge combs through Sendak's memories, the team discovers the location of a secret Galran transport hub. Allura decides to join the Paladins in infiltrating the station in order to extract information, despite the rest of the teams objections.
When another ship arrives, Allura infiltrates the ship herself to extract its information by making use of her Altean ability to change her skin color and height, allowing her to resemble a Galran soldier. Shiro accompanies her; he is unwilling to let her go alone and she needs his hand to access Galran technology.

While waiting, the others spot one of the Druids with two large containers of yellow fluid. Keith pursues them and Coran discovers that the Galrans have found a new way to harvest Quintessence, a form of fuel that has also allowed Zarkon to live ten thousand years. Keith is discovered and battles the druid, but is injured by the druid's lightning magic only to be healed by the yellow fluid before escaping in Pidge's Green Lion.

Shiro and Allura are also discovered and flee to the escape pods, but Allura sacrifices herself to allow Shiro to escape and she is captured by the Galra.
Janka

## Quarter Master Janka

**Quartermaster Janka** was a Galra Royal Commander and leader of trade and taxes. He is a royal officer loyal to Zarkon. He and many others attempted to light the flame at the Kral Zera. It is said that Janka has the second-largest fleet in the whole empire. At the end of the Kral Zera, Sendak throws him off a cliff, though he pleaded for mercy. Sendak then took his fleet

## Appearance

Janka is a pot-bellied Galra. He doesn't seem to have any hair on his scalp. He also wears cybernetic goggles that either allow him to project a computer screen or help him with vision.
Lance/History

## History

Before Lance became the Blue Paladin, he was a cadet at in the Galaxy Garrison studying as pilot. He idolized Shiro as his hero. Lance was a classmate of Keith, who was considered the best pilot of their generation. Lance claims there was a rivalry between them, but there was certainly a difference in skill as Keith was designated fighter class while Lance was designated as a cargo pilot. Due to Keith's sudden expulsion, however, Lance was promoted to fighter class and Hunk, a friend and fellow cadet, became his team's engineer. They were also joined by Pidge, a cadet they did not recognize, but who would serve as their communications specialist.

## Season 1

After a failed simulated flight and a scolding from, Lance manages to sneak out of the Galaxy Garrison along with Hunk to investigate Pidge's actions in the middle of the night. This leads the three cadets to meet the expelled Keith, a rescue mission for Shiro, and a start of an unlikely team.

With some scientific deductions from his teammates, Lance manages to find the Blue Lion on Earth. The Lion immidiately picks Lance as its pilot and to serve as the right leg of Voltron.
Olkarion

**Olkarion** is the home of the Olkari race ruled by King Lubos, although the king agreed to pretend to be held prisoner by the Galra Empire in return for living in comfort and allowing his people to build a weapon for Commander Branko.

This ruse is exposed when Team Voltron arrives to liberate the king and uncovers the truth. Once freed from imperial control, the Olkari become allies in the fight against the Empire and the planet becomes the base of operations for the Voltron Coalition.

## Environment

Olkarion is a hospitable planet full of water, green plant life, and a safely breathable atmosphere. It is slightly elliptical in shape and has a ring of mountainous rock protruding from its surface and reaching high into the atmosphere, visible from space; this seems to perpetually cast its upper hemisphere in sunset, leaving its lower hemisphere trapped in the shadow of the mountain range. The planet is covered in a forest of large trees within this shadow. In the upper hemisphere, the Olkari have developed the three large continents into cities, the northernmost at its pole being the largest.

The planet has been seen to have two celestial bodies near it, but it is not clear if these are its moons or simply neighboring planets as they are only shown behind it. It has also been shown situated near a gas giant, suggesting the planet itself is a moon.

## Inhabitants

* *For more information, see the Olkari article.*

Olkari are humanoid bipedal aliens that are vaguely insect-like in appearance. They appear furless and tend to be pale yellow or gray in color with lighter circles around their red or brown eyes.

Olkari society is that of a kingdom ruled by a single individual and concentrated in a massive city. The Olkari people are renowned for their extraordinary engineering skills, which are so advanced that it appears to be magic. Individuals are capable of manipulating both solid metal as well as biological materials like wood and plant life with a simple touch.

Jungle Planet

The **Jungle Planet** is the location where the Green Lion was hidden for at most 10,000 years.

## History

Little is known about the planet's history. Ten thousand years ago, King Alfor scattered the Voltron Lions to hidden locations across the universe after Zarkon's obsession with Voltron's power led him to violently betray Alfor and the Alteans. At some point, the Green Lion was hidden in a temple built on the jungle planet, and carvings of the Lion were created on rocks in the surrounding area.

## Environment

The planet is a spherical and hospitable one with a breathable atmosphere. There appears to be a red moon orbiting the planet. The planet itself is largely covered in a thick jungle, with trees growing taller than most trees on Earth. Rivers and other large bodies of water can be found throughout the environment. Several creatures live in the jungles, including a large, white, and bipedal alien sloth that operates a wooden canoe.

Other creatures, such as yellow and white alien rabbits, live in the jungle; they have two arms each, a pair of tall ears, white bushy tails, and stand on two legs. Alien butterflies can be seen flying near rivers with pale gray bodies, long tails, and splayed wings that are orange and yellow in color.

A stone temple was built to house the Green Lion, but it has become overgrown with roots and vines to be nearly invisible.

## Inhabitants

While the temple and carving must have been created by some means, there are no known alien races or societies currently inhabiting the planet.

Arus

**Arus** is the home of the Arusian race and the first planet to come under Voltron's protection from the Galra Empire.

It served as the resting place for the Castle of Lions, sheltering Allura, Coran, and the Black Lion for around 10,000 years. The Castleship and its occupants were awakened once Lance, Shiro, Keith, Hunk, and Pidge arrive in the Blue Lion. The local Arusians soon send Klaizap to investigate the Castle after witnessing Voltron battle Sendak's warship.

## Environment

Arus is a hospitable planet with an abundance of water, green plant life, and a breathable atmosphere. The Castle of Lions is located atop a rocky bluff by the coast, surrounded by deciduous forests and grassy hills. There is a variety of local plants safe for human consumption and an apparent lack of deadly flora or fauna. Hunk was even able to concoct several edible meals from species growing in the nearby woods. Arus' moon is either far larger, or in closer proximity to the planet, then Earth's moon is.

Arus is located in the Javeeno Star System; so distant, that it contains constellations unfamiliar to humans and even sits on the fringes of the Galra Empire. It has a nearby asteroid belt called the Zolar asteroid belt.

## Inhabitants

* *For more information, see the Arusians article.*

Arusians are small, bipedal aliens with two curved, brown horns and thick prehensile Tails. They appear Furness, tend to be pale in colour and decorate themselves with clothing and ornamentation scrounged from the nearby woods. The local population live in a village near what they call "Gabriel Hill".

The Arusian culture appears to be a feudal one with primitive hunter-gatherer technology. They have a basic political structure - Monarchy - and small organized military. The warriors who belong to the military take great pride in their status and fearlessly challenge their opponents to win honour for their family.

Arusian residences are square clay or plaster huts with thatched roofs. They have basic aquastructures like wells, but no long-term food or water storage facilities. Daily life revolves around gatehring food, farming, and religious worship. They have a practice of performing ritual sacrifices for higher beings they perceive as gods: one Arusian was almost burnt alive in honour of the Paladins arrival on Arus.

IGF-Atlas

The **IGF-Atlas** is a giant warship constructed by Samuel Holt and the Galaxy Garrison using a combination of Earth and Altean technology recovered from the Castle of Lions. The ships can transform into a giant robot that dwarfs Voltron.

## History

The Atlas was created using the data Sam Holt got from Coran before he returned to Earth. However, they were unable to find a power source that was able to properly power the ship before the Galra Empire began to invade Earth. Eventually, they were able to power it with the crystal that was created from the remains of the Castle of Lions.

With the Atlas, the Galaxy Garrison along with the Paladins managed to end the invasion and prevent the attempted destruction of Earth. Later, when a mysterious Robeast appeared it managed to support Voltron and managed to transform into a giant robot which was unlocked by Shiro.

Sometime later after Earth officially joined the Voltron Coalition the Atlas was seen being repaired, maintained, and updated by Coran and the Coalition. Around six months after the victory over the Galra, the Atlas was fully repaired and ready to lead the mission to free the last worlds under Galra control.

## Weapons & Abilities

According to Samuel Holt, the Atlas has been out fitted with Earths's most advanced technology. The Atlas houses many powerful weapons. On its starboard and port side, it houses multiple cannons that deal heavy damage. The ship also had a fusion cannon in the middle. At the front of the ship there is an EMP laser cannon. It can house the lions ,MFE-Ares Fighters, and Coalition transport/fighters. The ship first flew after being powered by the Garrison's particle barrier but fell immediately after take off. Later Coran powers the ship with the diamond that was left over from the destruction of the Castle of Lions, which allows it to transform into a giant Voltron-esqe robot. During the final battle against Honerva, the Atlas merged with Voltron through the energy channeled by the Balmerans.

Despite being incredibly powerful, Atlas does have a few weaknesses of its own, which make its overall power actually pale in comparison. The robot noted to be slow in movement (only slightly faster than Voltron without upgraded wings) and susceptible to energy absorption. Not only that, during its employment, its abilities seemed more limited due to Galaxy Garrison's limited resources during its construction. As such, by the end of Sendak's invasion, Atlas is currently undergoing several improvements by the coalition.

Hira has the appearance of a slender humanoid woman with pale skin and short magenta hair. As an Altean, her ears are pointed at the top rather than rounded, and she has small sickle-shaped marks of light green situated on her cheekbones, right under each of her cyan-colored eyes. The pupils of her eyes have a noticeable blue color in the center of them. Hira's hair is slicked back and flares out at the base of her neck; part of her hair sits looser than the rest so it protrudes either side of her head, flowing behind her ears. On the right side of her face, she has a mole under her lips.

Hira wears white armor over a blue and gray space suit. The armor is accented with light blue and the Altean blue. On the center of the cuirass is a stylized "V", appearing more jagged than that adorning the Voltron Paladins.

## Personality

While initially appearing to be kind and respectful, and an advocate for peace, Hira is truly a cold-hearted and ruthless commander who only seeks to use Allura to retrieve the second Trans-Reality Comet. She is a devout follower of the Altean Empire and believes that true peace is achieved through depriving anyone deemed disruptive and dangerous of their free will, turning them into mindless slaves for the empire to control. This is something she and all Alteans of her empire deem necessary to ensure the preservation of every living being. She holds her reality's Empress "Allura" in high respect, though the Empress is implied to be long dead. Normally a calm and collected military officer, Hira becomes more vicious and frustrated as her plans fall apart.

## Abilities

Hira is a swordswomen who uses an energy katar in her left hand; her armor is equipped with a built-in laser gun in its right gauntlet. Her combat prowess is unknown; although she is perceptive enough to predict Allura's attack and counter it, Hira is quickly subdued. She commands an Altean warship and correctly claims Allura is capable of activating and piloting Commodore Trayling's Tel-Galax exploration shuttle, showing she has extensive knowledge in Altean technology and military tactics. Her armor appears to have boosters on the back of her calves and cuirass, which would allow her brief sustained flight.

## Trivia

* She introduces herself with the title *Commander*, but is later referred to as *General* Hira.

* The Netflix subtitles spell her name as *Hira*, while the IMDb credits spell her name as *Heera*.

Kimberly Brooks

**Kimberly Brooks** is the voice actress of Allura. She has voiced for several animated TV series and video games but has also done acting for live-action series and theater.

She is best known for her voice role as Jasper from *Steven Universe* and its epilouge series *Steven Universe Future*.

## Voice Roles

* Allura

Working on *Legendary Defender*, it is rare for the entire cast to record at the same time, but Brooks enjoys when the recording booth is filled with as many people as possible because of the genuine bond between the series cast and staff; she compares their bond to that of forming Voltron.

Brooks considers Allura to be a multi-faceted feminine, youthful, strong character and one of the best "gifts" of a role she has ever received. Brooks watched some of the original *Defender of the Universe* series as a child, but did not remember much about it. She thinks the old Allura was a determined character who was punished for wanting to do things other characters thought a girl could not do, and is glad that *Legendary Defender* wrote Allura so strongly.

One of the most difficult parts of playing Allura for Brooks is perfecting her accent. She believes that Allura is very intuitive and has a connection with all of the Voltron Lions because of King Alfor and growing up with the Lions, and this is why Allura believed she could pilot a Lion but only needed to focus on their bond and put it into practice. Her story resonates with Brooks as a lesson to the viewers to have confidence in their abilities and believe themselves. Outside of voice acting, she likes to stay busy doing promo work, announcing, cooking, and traveling.

## Trivia

* One of Brooks' favorite things about Allura is her earrings, which appear to be floating and not attached to her ears.
* Brooks enjoys the episode "Space Mall" for its antics, and also likes the aspects of Allura's development in [[Season 3].
* If she had to pick one Paladin to be stranded with, Brooks would pick Pidge for her smarts.
* One of Brooks' favorite lines is when Allura is desperate to bond with the Blue Lion and recites one of Lance's pickup lines.
* Brooks' favorite Altean Mice moment is when Coran randomly is searching for Pluchatt with no explanation.
* Brooks embraces the fan nickname of "Space Mom" for Allura, considering it a term of endearment.

Christine Bian

**Christine Bian** is the main design supervisor for *Voltron: Legendary Defender*. She has done previous work as staff on *The Legend of Korra*.

## Series Role

* Design Supervisor

While not a fan of the original *Voltron* show, Bian is a fan of the giant robot genre and appreciated the art style of *Defender of the Universe*. Bian's job entails overseeing the visual style of the entire show an ensuring it is consistent in the work of other staff members. She is heavily responsible for the design of the Voltron Lions and Voltron itself, working alongside Joaquim Dos Santos, Lauren Montgomery, and Kihyun Ryu for the look and feel of the iconic robots.

Bian claims re-imagining the iconic *Voltron* figure was the most difficult challenge for the staff because it had to be rendered in 2D, 3D, and eventually a toy line. Series staff looked at *Gundam* and other mecha anime for inspiration in designing the new Voltron robot to make sense logically and visually. At one point during production, Bian unintentionally designed the Black Lion to look like a zebra.

## Trivia

* Bian makes a cameo as an Arusian along with Steve Ahn, Eugene Lee, and Christie Tseng.

* Bian watched *Defender of the Universe* and parts of *GoLion* as "homework" for producing *Legendary Defender*, but did not watch *Vehicle Force*.

* Bian is from Seattle, Washington, and attended Concept Design Academy. She was able to gain a job on *The Legend of Korra* through her professor at the academy who knew one of the producers of the show.

* As a Seattle native, Bian created the poster given to attendees of Emerald City Comic Con 2018.

* Bian's hobby is drawing sketches of animals; she is fascinated by muscles and skeletons. This anatomical knowledge helped her design Voltron and its Lions.

* Bian cites the Blue Lion as her favorite Lion, much like a "favorite son", because it was the first Lion designed, acting as the "guinea pig" to base the other Lion designs off of. It went through several frustrating iterations before its design was settled. Bian affectionately calls it "Bluey".

Reverse-Flash

**Tato stránka je rozcestník.**

   **Reverse-Flash** je jméno, které v DC Universe používá hned několik padouchů.

Rival byl ve zlatém věku úhlavním nepřítelem původního Flashe – Jaye Garricka. Professor Zoom byl první padouch, který sám sebe nazval Reverse-Flashem; šlo o vědce z 25. století, který ve stříbrném věku bojoval s Barrym Allenem. Další Reverse-Flash byl Zoom, protivník Wallyho Westa, který dokázal zpomalovat čas. Inertia, který si také říkal Kid Zoom, byl zlým protějškem Barta Allena. V New 52 se jako nový Reverse-Flash představil Daniel West (bratr Iris West), ovšem v Rebirth se do této role vrátil Thawne.

Reverse-Flash, který se poprvé objevil v *The Flash #139* (1963), byl vytvořen Johnem Broomem a Carminem Infantinem.
Keith/History

## History

Before Keith became the Red Paladin, he was an orphaned at a young age because his mother, Krolia left Earth when he was an infant to continue her mission with the Blade of Marmora, and Keith's Father died when Keith was very young. Keith never knew anything about his mother; the only enigmatic connection to his past that remained with him was a small blade inscribed with a strange glowing Blade of Marmora emblem that he kept wrapped up.

At some undetermined point, Keith met Shiro, and eventually enlisted as a cadet of the Galaxy Garrison, becoming a classmate of Lance and possibly Hunk.

During his time as a cadet, Keith was considered to be the best pilot of his generation and Lance claims they had a rivalry, but the prodigal pilot was ultimately expelled from the Garrison due to "a discipline issue" according to Commander Iverson. He retreated to the desert to search for a purpose and consequently felt the energy emitted by the Blue Lion, leading him to remain there and investigate the surrounding caverns full of lion carvings.
Pidge/History

## Also Known As: Katie Holt

Before Pidge became the Green Paladin, she was known as Katie Holt, and both her father and brother were members of the Galaxy Garrison who were sent to Kerberos as the first humans to travel to the edge of the solar system, along with Shiro. Five months after launch, the Galaxy Garrison broadcast that the Kerberos crew had gone missing and were all presumed dead due to a pilot error. Katie refused to accept this as truth and hacked into the Garrison's computer systems at least twice, learning that there was no sign of a crash on Kerberos. Garrison Commander Iverson caught her in his office and threatened to charge her with treason; instead, he had Katie banned from the Garrison. She vowed to never stop searching for the truth.

## In Season One

### The Rise of Voltron

In order to uncover the truth of her family's fate, Katie disguises herself as a male cadet under the name "Pidge Gunderson" and enters the Garrison with her new identity, assigned to Lance and Hunk's team as a communications specialist cadet. Iverson and the other Garrison personnel do not notice any anomalies. With her own personal goals in mind, Pidge does not bond well with her team and spends much of her time alone studying the edge of the solar system with her personally-built equipment. Her equipment begins picking up alien radio chatter that keeps repeating one word: "Voltron". One night, Lance and Hunk sneak out during curfew and see Pidge doing the same. They follow "him" to the roof of the Garrison building where Pidge admits to what she has been doing all this time, yet does not reveal any information about her relation to the Kerberos mission or her true identity. They do not believe her claims that aliens exist, but a fiery object suddenly appears in the sky and crashes into Earth nearby. It is an alien ship containing Shiro. Pidge instantly recognizes the ship as as such, and as Galra. She then insists that they go investigate, to which Lance agrees.
