Places

Acquara: An idyllic planet where Crichton took refuge after Moya StarBurst away, marooning him in space. It’s people are subjects of the Hynerian empire who were left on Acquara during the reign of  Rygel X. A negative power vortex prevented them from leaving the planet, forcing them to remain Hynerian subjects. It also prevented them from using anything that required power to operate.

Arnessk: The planet where John, Rygel and Chiana were reunited with D'Argo, Jool and the Old Woman after they had gone their separate ways at the end of Season Three. The planet usually has an intense magnetic field but for short periods of time it can be explored. There seems to be some connection between Arnessk, Earth, Sebaceans and Interions. The planet is populated by the Eidelons, a species that has been asleep for 12,000 years and who have the ability to facilitate peace between warring factions.  What Was Lost, Part 1: Sacrifice; What Was Lost, Part 2: Resurrection; Peacekeeper Wars

Barren Lands: Aeryn went rock climbing with Dregon Casanova to avoid attending John’s wedding to Princess Katralla. Look at the Princess, Parts 2 and 3

Berger Nebula (Mention Only): One of the places Jool and her cousins went during their multicultural tour.

Budong: See Allies and Enemies

Canaveral: The space center in Florida. The Space Shuttle lifted off from here to take John into earth orbit in order to test the Farscape One and his theory of slingshot maneuvers. Premier

Caton Mines (Mention Only): D'Argo’s son Jothee was a prisoner in the Caton Mines and was sold from here along with 10,000 other slaves. Before D'Argo could get to the auction, the slaves were purchased from the slaver (see photo at left) by Scorpius who then offered to trade Jothee for Crichton.

Cavari (Mention only): Noranti thought she had seen treasure-chest markings on Cavari, but then decided she hadn’t. Lava’s a Many Splendored Thing

Cemetery Planet: A very gloomy place, covered in graves. Beneath the surface lives a colony of young people who take the stone – a euphemism for suicide – rather than grow old. What they mean by old, however, is anything over 22 cycles.  When Chiana believed her brother was dead, she took off in Aeryn’s Prowler and landed on the Cemetery Planet to work out her grief. Taking the Stone

Center Halo: Scattered throughout the universe, center halos are mists where all dimensions meet and time ceases to exist. Eventually the mist hardens, trapping those stuck in it forever without time. See Stellar Mist. The Locket

CommPlan.jpg (10425 bytes)

Commerce Planets: Any of a series of places for the crew to replenish supplies, refurbish their wardrobes, and get into trouble. Pretty much the shopping malls of the Uncharted Territories

Jotheb2.jpg (10070 bytes)

Consortium of Trao (Mention Only): When Rygel was kidnapped by the Tavleks, his  next-cell neighbor, Jotheb, (see photo at left) was next in line to rule the Consortium of Trao. Bekhesh killed Rygel and Jotheb resurrected him, thinking to absorb Rygel and his 600 billion Hynerian subjects into the Consortium of Trao. Oops…Rygel travels alone these days and Jotheb decided he was too disruptive. Throne for a Loss

Dam-Ba-Da: The desert planet where Furlow’s repair shop was located. John and Aeryn brought Farscape 1 here to be patched up after it developed a plasma leak during a slingshot maneuver. It’s also the planet where John received the lethal dose of radiation that caused his death. Til the Blood Runs Clear; Infinite Possibilities, Parts One and Two

Dead Leviathan / Commerce Planet: A dead Leviathan was fused to an asteroid and is used as a commerce planet. The women of Moya went there to purchase an energy distorter to make Moya invisible to long range scans. They ran into Grayza and War Minister Ahkna having a secret meeting. Bringing Home the Beacon

Delvia (Mention Only): Zhaan’s home planet. Her former lover, Bitaal, was one of the Delvian leaders and spiritual counselors. When his term of service was up he brought in the Peacekeepers for “security”. Zhaan, chief anarchist that she was, murdered him and was put into prison along with all the other liberals, including her father. DNA Mad Scientist; Rhapsody in Blue

Denea: A planet very much like earth. Moya set down in a swamp (See Kazda's Swamp below) here to dampen the sound of a Peacekeeper Paddoc beacon. The Deneans had never had a close encounter with an extra-terrestrial (extra-denestrial?) until John and D'Argo came along. The natives’ reactions were typical: the military wanted to dissect them; the yokels wanted to hunt them down; the child was in awe; and Lyneea, the scientist, wanted to learn all she could. I, ET

Devastator Reefs: After Dregon Casanova disgraced himself on the climbing wall causing Aeryn to break her leg in a fall, he told her that  they were near the Devastator Reefs so she couldn’t expect any ships to come along and rescue them. Look at the Princess, Part 3

Dimordis Tomb (Mention Only): Jool’s cousin (see photo at left) said they were on an expedition to find the Dimordis Tomb in the Berger Nebula when they got sick.  Suns and Lovers

Earth, False #1: The Ancients, looking for a new home, created a false earth from Crichton’s memories. John believed he was finally going back to earth but it was all a scheme by the Ancients to see if humans would welcome them to share their planet. A Human Reaction

Earth, False #2: Once again John returned to an earth that wasn’t real, only this time he knew it wasn’t real. This time it was the Scarrans who were messing with his mind, trying to find out why Scorpy was so keen on getting hold of Crichton. John was a lot more skeptical this time, never really believing he was back home. Won’t Get Fooled Again

Earth: Home of John Crichton. A tiny blue planet, totally unimpressive, with one dead moon and no rings at all. It’s the third planet of nine orbiting a yellow star that the earthlings call the sun. It’s inhabitants are nearly planet-bound, rarely venturing farther than their own moon. As a force in the universe, it's mostly harmless.

Elepuria (Mention Only): The place where Raxil (see photo at left) had a disaster in relation to the Freslin trade. Fe’Tor said he thought she’d given up the Freslin trade after this disaster. Scratch ‘n’ Sniff

Expanse Between, The: When Moya tried to StarBurst to prove she was still valuable to the crew, she got stuck in the expanse between dimensions. She tried to back out, but the being who existed there told John that she must go forward in order to avoid destruction. With the guidance of this being, Moya was able to get back to her own dimension in space. Through the Looking Glass

Favored Planet: The place where John and Aeryn spent 55 cycles between openings in the stellar mist. The main activity of the natives is gardening. The Locket

Five Pulsars: A pulsar is a rapidly spinning star with a superdense mass that has collapsed under gravity in the final stage of its evolution and consists almost entirely of neutrons. It periodically beams flashes of radio (and sometimes optical) energy. Moya passed the five pulsars on the way to the transformation yards. T’raltixx claimed the light from these pulsars would cause problems for lesser species but not for any of the more developed life forms. At first it seemed to be the pulsars that were making everyone paranoid but it turned out to be T’raltixx himself. Crackers Don’t Matter

Gammak Base: Larraq was on his way to a Gammak base to drop off the intellent virus he’d captured when his ship began leaking cesium fuel and he boarded Moya instead. In trying to escape he stabbed Aeryn, injuring her paraphoral nerve. John went to the Gammak base to secure a tissue graft for her but was captured by the Peacekeepers before he could get away. Scorpius, thinking John had the wormhole secrets he needed, attempted to extract the information using his Aurora Chair. John and D'Argo later blew up the Gammak base. After Scorpy removed the chip from John’s brain he took it to a new Gammak base to learn its secrets.

Hallowed Realm (Mention Only): The place Hynerians go to after they die. When Rygel thought John was dead he performed a very touching Rite of Passage (see photo at left) to see him on his way to the Hallowed Realm. That Old Black Magic

High Command: Seat of Peacekeeper military power

Hyneria (Mention Only): Rygel’s home planet where his cousin, Bishan, overthrew the government, had Rygel imprisoned by the Peacekeepers and took over as Dominar.

Interdimensional Space: The alien known to John as Einstein dragged him through to this intergalactic frozen space to examine his knowledge of wormholes. Einstein could only maintain the place for a short while before it decomposed, disappeared, went kaput. Unrealized Reality

Ice Planet: Diagnosan Tocot’s medical facility is located here. A good thing too because of all the bodies he keeps in cryogenic suspension. John-as-Scorpy shot down Aeryn’s prowler over an ice-covered lake on the Ice Planet, she was unable to get out of her ejection chair and drowned. Die Me Dichotomy, Season of Death

Jensii Province (Mention Only): The home province of Orrhn Pak, the Hynerian female who betrayed Rygel. Fractures

Jocation Memorial: A peace memorial commemorating 30 peacekeepers who died defending a monastery. One of the tourist attractions is a tear in time through which visitors can see the actual battle and the events following it. ..Different Destinations

Kanvia: A planet with dense nelvastatic atmosphere. Moya and Talyn immersed themselves in this atmosphere hoping it would hide them from the Peacekeepers Retrieval Squad that was hunting Talyn. Kanvia is a source for chromextin, a stimulant that would help heal Talyn’s wounds. Thanks for Sharing

Katratzi: A secret Scarran base, one of the few places where the Scarrans are able to grow crystherium flowers, an essential item in the maintenance of their brain power. Unrealized Reality; Bringing Home the Beacon; Constellation of Doubt; Prayer; We're so Screwed Parts 1-3 

Kazda’s Swamp: The boggy area on Denea where Moya submerged herself to block the noise of the Paddoc Beacon from attracting Peacekeepers. Lyneea sent Commander Ryymax, the military leader in charge of finding the aliens, off in the opposite direction in order to allow D'Argo and John to return safely to Moya.  I, ET

Litigara: A planet where 90% of the population are lawyers. They have ruling law firms instead of political parties, royal families or monarchs. Since all these lawyers need something to keep them busy, the law of the land grew so complicated that it filled several huge books. When Zhaan was accused of murdering one of the few non-lawyers on the planet, Rygel and Chiana acted as her attorneys because the local public defender insisted that she plead guilty. Although they knew Zhaan was not guilty, Rygel and Chiana could only prove it by falling back on their strong points, deceit and trickery. Re:Union (Dream a Little Dream)

LoMo: The pleasure planet where John, D'Argo, Jool and Chiana went for shore leave when Pilot threw them off Moya for squabbling. Scratch ‘n’ Sniff

Manin Nebula (Mention Only): Talyn’s long range scans detected leviathan transmissions from the Manin Nebula so he was able to meet up with Moya again after his adventures with the retrieval squad and Crichton’s death. The Choice.

Mental Arts Training Camp: A school where people learned to increase their mental strengths or suffer the consequences. Mental as Anything  

Micar Seven (Mention Only): A Peacekeeper maximum labor planet where both Zhaan and D'Argo had been incarcerated. Zhaan was assigned to intel and interface and D'Argo was in the chemlech mines in the 93rd level. Premier

Mintaka Three (Mention Only): The liberation of Mintaka Three was one of Durka’s legendary achievements that was studied by Peacekeepers-in-training. While he was  a reformed, mind-cleansed automaton (thanks to the Nebari) he claimed that this was a “meaningless, brute force solution”.

Nebari Prime (Mention Only): Chiana’s home planet. She and her brother Nerri were given government permits to leave when they were really young. They didn’t know why it was so easy to get away until two cycles later. The government, as part of their plan to take over the galaxy, had infected them with a disease that was spread through carnal contact and sent them on their way. A high-ranking government official later gave them the antidote. The Nebari are desperate to get their hands on Nerri so they can mind-frell him into identifying this official

New Moon of Delvia: This is actually a ship that landed, melted the underlying rock to molten and then sank below the surface to become Delvian place of worship. Rhapsody in Blue

Porzin Two (Mention Only): A Commerce Planet. D'Argo accused Rygel of procuring only stale food cubes here. DNA Mad Scientist

Sacred Stillness: The place near the twin suns of Quell where some say the great gods were born. Three commerce stations once operated here  but one was destroyed by asteroids, one by fire and the third is being destroyed by storms.  Suns and Lovers

Shadow Depository: A very large, well protected vault where the less-than-honest hide the fruits of their labor. The one Moya’s crew came across was administered by Natira, a freaky blue alien who had a “thing” for eyes. According to Aeryn, some Shadow Depositories are more well armed than Gammak bases. Moya’s crew  robbed one of these banks and even got away with the loot. Unfortunately, the loot turned out to be Natira’s little joke on Scorpius. The crate wasn’t full of  borinium ingots as they thought but of Karak Metalites, ship devouring critters who began snacking on Moya the first chance they got. Liars, Guns and Money, Parts 1, 2, and 3; Die Me Dichotomy

Siren Star: The sun that was sending out radiation pulses that lured Talyn towards it. Meltdown

Stallic Hotel: An establishment on Valldon where Rygel and Stark were sent on a wild goose chase to look for Aeryn. The Choice

Stellar Mist

Stellar Mist: Another name for a center halo. Moya was caught in one and, while John and Aeryn lived for more than 50 cycles on the Favored Planet, only a few arns passed on the ship. See Center Halo. The Locket

Sykar: When D'Argo took off for Sykar in a fit of hyper-rage, the others waited three days and then went to retrieve him. The found a spaced out D'Argo who had turned into a farmer. Sykar had once been a garden planet, but every cycle more of it turned into wasteland because all the natives grew was tannot root for the Peacekeepers. As soon as the population learned that the Peacekeepers were using the tannot root for weapons, they decided to rebel. Thank God It’s Friday, Again

Tarran Ra (Mention Only): A lifer’s colony for prisoners. Zhaan, D'Argo and Rygel were on their way to be incarcerated here when they escaped from Peacekeeper custody. Premier

Tarsus (Mention Only): Fellip nectar comes from a creature on Tarsus Six. A Human Reaction; …Different Destinations

Transformation Yards (Mention Only): T’raltixx claimed he was bringing Moya and crew to the transformation yards on his planet to install a sentra device (see photo at left) which would make Moya invisible to Peacekeeper pursuers. Crackers Don’t Matter

Twin Suns of Quell: At one time there were three Commerce Stations near these twin suns. Two of them had been destroyed, giving rise to tales that they were cursed. The third commerce station was built in the “Sacred Stillness” and was being bombarded by storms that were attracted to a broadcast coming from inside the Commerce Station itself. Suns and Lovers

Uncharted Territories: Right after they escaped from Peacekeeper custody, Moya and crew absconded to the Uncharted Territories. The Peacekeepers don’t have jurisdiction here but that didn’t stop Captain Crais from going in after them. Although the area is known as the Uncharted Territories, it’s definitely not the Unpopulated Territories. There are several commerce planets throughout the area and the Peacekeepers maintain at least one Gammak base here. A variety of species have home worlds in this region of space and there are even some break-away Sebacean colonies such as the Royal Planet.

Valldon: The planet of mystics and criminals where Aeryn went to talk to Crichton after his death. She changed her mind and sought her father, Talyn Lyczac. The Choice

Voodi's Restaurant: Rygel and D'Argo came here to meet with Scorpius. When they were in the middle of negotiations, Sko and Wa arrived to burn the place down for the insurance. I-Yensch, You Yensch
