Kepler-22b

**Kepler-22b**, sometimes referred to as just **"Kepler"**, is an abandoned Gem colony exo-planet and the primary location of *Worlds Collide* and *Worlds Collide: The Adventure Continues*. Kepler-22b contains many native species, with the dominant species being the alien type animals and plants.

## Colonization Era

About 1,060 years ago, Blue Diamond and with the help of Yellow Diamond, attempted to colonise Kepler-22b. Under their leadership, Homeworld Gems travelled there in Era 2 Colony Ships and began to build a variety of structures all around the planet, such as castles, sea temples, ancient temples, pyramids, and other buildings. Homeworld Gems also created Warp Pads, which allowed Gems to travel from place to place on 22b quickly, however these Warp Pads could only be accessed with Light Prisms. A base was constructed on the exo-planet's moon, which was used by the Diamonds and other Gem elites to monitor and plan the 22b's colonization progress, this base has been fully shut down though.

The primary purpose of establishing a Gem colony on 22b was for Homeworld Gems to use the planet's rich and unique organic minerals to manufacture new Gems. Just like any other colonised planet. The first and possibly the only fully processed Kindergarten on 22b, referred to as the Alpha Kindergarten was established to serve the purpose of creating new Gems. With great success, the Alpha Kindergarten efficiently produced new Gems, many of them being of the Garnet variety. Another successful Kindergarten is the one in Facet 7, located in the Northern Glaciers, it's the largest Kindergarten on the planet and produced Gems of the Quartzes variety.

However, only about 8% of the colony was completed (according to Peridot). If the colony was finished, many more structures would have been built, including 89 Kindergartens, 67 spires, and several Galaxy Warp stations. Due to the planet's unusual terrain and structure, the colonisation was cancelled and was left to rot since other kindergartens were supposed to form. This was not the case though. The other alleged kindergartens did not form and the planet quickly recovered and stopped Gems from emerging and kindergartens processing. The only fully processed Kindergarten is the Alpha Kindergarten in Facet 11.

## Facets

Homeworld Gems appear to have divided up 22b into different sections, labelling them as 'Facets'. Each Facet name is followed up with a number that differentiates the several Facets. One of the Colony Plans was to have a Galaxy Warp in each Facet.

* Facet 11 – The Alpha Kindergarten is located in Facet 11 (Crystallised Kindergarten)
* Facet 3 – The Sigma Kindergarten that is currently in an unknown located.
* Facet 7 – The Omega Kindergarten is located in Facet 7. It is the largest Kindergarten in the Northern Glaciers.

## Trivia

* Kepler 22-B was once a shared colony between Yellow and Blue Diamond, where Garnets and Quartzes were made.
* The planet was once a "dumping ground" for large ship debris and unused mechanics, which were all thrown in the temple in the mesa between Sprouting Sands and The Boiling Mouth.
* Warp pads are located in all continents but are only found in colonised parts of planet, so untouched pieces of land do not have them. Some warp pads are prism-activated as gem elites were allowed to use them.
* Jungle de Rio is located in the south west of the major continent Dásos.
* Dásos consists of vast and expansive jungles, making up a fifth of its continent and the other being rainforests, savannahs and deserts.
* The Sprouting Sands are found partically in the north-west coast of Dásos, and is regionally near to Jungle de Rio.
* The Boiling Mouth is located in the north-east of the continent Ifaísteio and its many surrounding islands. This continent is close to Dásos and can get as hot as up to 40 degrees Celsius.
* The Northern Glaciers are located in the north of the continent Chionódis, which is a continent seemingly covered in heavy snow. The south of the continent however is midly chill and consists of spruce tree forests.
* The Valley of Fallen Stars is located in between the west coast of Chionódis and the north of Dásos, with it being the hotspot for stars and comets to land there.
* Blubbering Bubble Lane or the Glistening Waters are found in the east coast of Dásos, the east coast consists of the huge islands: Hoʻopā, Ka lani, Loa'a and Ke Kai.
* The four islands translated to English mean: Touch (Ho'opā), the sky (Ka lani), find (Loa'a), the sea (Ke Kai). Touch the sky, find the sea. This all means that you will always be guided by the sun and the other stars left in the sky, even while you're surrounded by the sea.
* The main language spoken on Kepler 22-B is English, Hawaiian, Samoan, Tagalog, a number of other Polynesian languages and Gem-Glyph. English was inherited from gems when they colonised the planet, Hawaiian, Samoan, Tokelauan and Tagalog was spoken when the tribal Shy Guys and Yoshis were teleported to the planet after being transported from islands such as Austrailia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and others, and migrated thousands of years ago, and some animals inherited to ability to write in Gem-Glyph.
* Animals on the planet were so genetically intelligent that they learned to mimic gems when they spoke English for thousands of years and developed being able to speak it whilst keeping their instinctual language. Some animals however, aren't capable of doing this as their vocal chords cannot allow them to do so. Such as magnobirds, groundivores, ground stompers, amushhu, etc.
* Some animals do not know some newer or modern English words after gems fled the planet and left it to rot, which it failed to do.
* Fun Fact: Shy Guys and Yoshis are the only creature or being to ever walk on the face of the planet and be from a completely different universe at the same time.
