For my upcoming "Battle for the Championship of the Universe" game, and my own Encyclopedia Galactica project, I've started a list of Legion locations. Here is a list of all places mentioned or seen in stories collected in the first five volumes of the LEGION ARCHIVES.

Additions and corrections welcome:

(NOTE: Sorry bulleted tabs did not carry from the Word doc.)

(NOTE: m. = mention only. un. = unnamed. Names in quotes are my own creations for unnamed locations, generally taken from the accompanying text.)


• 281-Y — Planet that is headquarters to the Anzar Gang, which stole the Duplazor machine. Colossal Boy retrieved it, but was expelled from the Legion for losing it, when the team didn’t realize it was actually stolen by Dynamo-Boy (ADV330-1965.03).
• AAROK — m. Listed on the Legion's interplanetary clock. When it's 1:27 on Earth, it is 5:15 on Aarok (ADV312-1963.09).
• AB-213 — Galactic sector on the edge of another galaxy where Superboy traveled to a planet circling a double star (one blue, one orange) in hopes of finding a means to revive Lightning Lad. Inhabitants of the world lie in a death like trance when close to the orange sun and come to life under the influence of the blue. Superboy peeled off a bit of the blue sun to shine over Lightning Lad, to no avail (ADV312-1963.09).
• AKTAR — m. Homeworld of Gooba, who won a dinosaur-throwing contest in the Interplanetary Rodeo, held on Rorbis, marking him as something of an expert in the use of repeller-ray gloves (ADV323-1964.08).
• ALTAIR — m. Home of the one-eyes Pyramid Men, a pair of whom tried to sell the Legion stolen "living paintings" from Thar, while the team was investigating Thieves' Planet (ADV308-1963.05).
• ALTHAR — m. World that uses liquid money, four gallons of which can be exchanged at the Space Bank for five walking pieces of Barakian living money (ADV309-1963.06). A lonely, unpeopled world, home to many strange life-forms, such as a dinosaur-like creature that eats rocks. There, in a vast yet abandoned prison-like building, once used for psychological and physical testing of would-be astronauts, Science Police Commissioner Wilson tested the Legion to see how willingly they’d give up the location of their super-weapon, the Concentrator (ADV321-1964.06).
• AMAZONIA — m. Its Queen is a member of the United Planets Inner Council (ADV349-1966.10).
• “ANDAL” — un. Home to a race of green-skinned, pointy-eared aliens, who live in straw huts. Matter-Eater Lad saved them from being frightened by the giant Mouth-Creature by eating all of the Red Andal tree, its favorite food located near their village (ADV321-1964.06).
• ANTARES — m. Home of the legendary protean beasts, shape-changers who can imitate anything, one of which became a pet to Chameleon Boy after it was liberated from Hydra-Men en route to Thieves' Planet (ADV308-1963.05). m. First reference to super-scientific race that gave the Proteans their powers to help them adapt to any conditions (ADV316-1964.01). Now the name of the red star around which the unnamed homeworld of the Protean race revolves. The unnamed planet was home to a species of telepathic, protoplasmic blob, which were made into pets by a great humanoid scientific civilization that colonized the world. When a giant orange star passed too close, altering the planet’s climate cycle, the scientific humanoids left, using an Evolution Beam to alter the Proteans, giving them the ability to alter their shape and adapt to any environment (ADV322-1964.07). By the Legion’s time the world has an orange sun, which only partially depletes Supeboy’s powers. The scientific colonists were the Llorn and their buildings, abandoned by the Legion’s time, resembled giant screwdrivers and were hidden behind iron mountains in forests of giant purple mushrooms. Dr. Norm Eldor tried to convince the Proteans that he was a descendant of the Llorn in order to trick them into revealing the location of the machine that gave them their powers. He was defeated by the Legion with the aid of Unknown Boy, to whom the Proteans built a memorial statue (ADV334-1965.07).

Isn't the planet actually called "Khundia"? At least it was by the 80's.

Are you interested in Postboot or Threeboot locations, PoFo? I remember your original post in the Legion Reference Thread listed some Reboot locations like Aarok, Aleph and Vyrga.

I shared some more locations for you there. More on the way.

thothkins shared a list too.

Though your list ends before it's finished properly, is there a limit to how long a post is? Vorn kind of ends mid- sentence, and wouldn't Xerox be after that?

Hmm . . . you're right. There was a bunch that was to have been pasted in after Vorn. Didn't notice that it did not take.

For general interest & this was the only thread I could find with "United Planets" in the title (although I thought Emily Savana had one about U.P. government but couldn't find it). An early history of a United Planets, from Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama. Titan is settled, but not Saturn - I always wondered why Saturn Girl wasn't from Saturn....

Rendezvous with Rama - chapter 38 "General Assembly"

According to the history books - though no one could really believe it - there had been a time when the old United Nations had 172 members. The United Planets had only seven; and that was sometimes bad enough. In order of distance from the Sun, they were Mercury, Earth, Luna, Mars, Ganymede, Titan and Triton.

The list contained numerous omissions and ambiguities which presumably the future would rectify. Critics never tired of pointing out that most of the United Planets were not planets at all, but satellites. And how ridiculous that the four giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were not included.

But no one lived on the Gas Giants, and quite possibly no one ever would. The same might be true of the other major absentee, Venus. Even the most enthusiastic of planetary engineers agreed that it would take centuries to tame Venus; meanwhile, the Hermians kept their eyes on it, and doubtless brooded over long-range plans.

Separate representation for Earth and Luna had also been a bone of contention. The other members argued that it put too much power in one corner of the solar system. But there were more people on the Moon than on all the other worlds except Earth itself, and it was the meeting place of the U.P. Moreover, Earth and Moon hardly ever agreed on anything, so they were not likely to constitute a dangerous bloc.

Mars held the asteroids in trust, except for the Icarian group (supervised by mercury), and a handful with perihelions beyond Saturn and thus claimed by Titan. One day the larger asteroids, such as Pallas, Vesta, Juno and Ceres, would be important enough to have their own ambassadors, and the membership of the U.P. would then reach two figures.

Ganymede represented not only Jupiter - and therefore more mass than all the rest of the solar system put together - but also the remaining fifty or so Jovian satellites, if one included temporary captures from the asteroid belt - though lawyers were still arguing over this. In the same way, Titan took care of Saturn, its rings, and the other thirty-plus satellites.

The situation for Triton was even more complicated. The large moon of Neptune was the outermost body in the solar system under permanent habitation; as a result, its Ambassador wore a considerable number of hats. He represented Uranus and its eight moons (none yet occupied); Neptune and its other three satellites; Pluto and its solitary moon; and lonely, moonless Persephone. If there were planets beyond Persephone they, too, would be Triton's responsibility. And as if that was not enough, the Ambassador from Outer Darkness, as he was sometimes called, had been heard to ask plaintively: "What about comets?" It was generally felt that this problem could be left for the future to solve.

Great idea to post this Cramer. I have always enjoyed Rendezvous with Rama and the rest of Clarke's writing but didn't remember that he called them the UP in the book.

With our better knowledge these days the Ambassador from Outer Darkness (Triton) would have an even bigger role with all the objects in the Kuiper Belt and the TNOs (Trans Neptunian Objects) of which we now know there are a lot.

There are even concepts for floating colonies in the upper atmosphere of Venus where the pressure and temperature would be close to Earth's, which might explain how Cosmic King could come from there.

In the last 5 years, has this list ever been updated anywhere past Adventure 349? I don't want to duplicate someone else's work if it's already out there somewhere.

There's also The Legion Help File, which has a pretty comprehensive list of planets up until about 2000.

Here is the link, as I think it might be helpful: http://www.legionworld.net/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=946502#Post946502

The map is hard for me to understand because some of the planets are placed outside the Milky Way galaxy. I have attempted to contact one of the Bierbaums regarding the map to see if they remember their reasoning. In my fanfiction, I have reorganized some of the planets. I plan to post my theory maps in Bits soon.

BISMARI -- Prison Planet where Validus was to be executed by bombardment with “anti-energy” (ADV352)

CRAGGOK -- Distant planet described as an “out-of-the-way hideout” for the Emerald Empress. Its civilization is roughly equivalent to Earth’s Middle Ages (ADV352)

DUAR -- One of the worlds which refuses to help the Legion in its battle against the Sun-Eater (ADV352)

NUMAR -- World renowned for its great jewels (ADV352)

GOHAN -- One of the worlds which refuses to help the Legion in its battle against the Sun-Eater (ADV352)

XAK-- One of the worlds which refuses to help the Legion in its battle against the Sun-Eater (ADV352)


Next time we have a DC/Marvel crossover, I want it to take place in the Hostessverse
