Encyclopedia > List of planets in Futurama

The animated television series Futurama is set in a time when galactic travel is commonplace, and the series features a wide variety of inhabited worlds. Some planets appear directly, while others are only referenced in dialogue. Futurama is an animated American cartoon series created by Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons) and David X. Cohen (also a writer for The Simpsons). ... NGC 4414, a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, is about 17,000 parsecs in diameter and approximately 20 million parsecs distant. ...

Seen/visited planets

These planets are actually visited or seen close-up during the course of an episode.

Amazonia A planet inhabited by giant female warriors, ruled by a giant "Femputer". The surface is covered in tropical rainforests, as well as many lakes and some visible meteor craters. The Amazonians are fond of basketball, and make up for their inability to dunk with their good fundamentals. Most men who land on Amazonia are almost immediately condemned to death by snu-snu, where they are subject to repeated bouts of sex with the Amazonians until their pelvises are crushed. Unbeknownst to the Amazonians, this is the way in which most men would prefer to die.
Amphibios IX Kif Kroker's home world, where he gives birth to his children. A lush planet covered mainly in tropical rainforests and swamps. Among its native species is the poisonous froad, a giant cross between a frog and a toad. Glab, the female President of D.O.O.P., is also a native.
Bum Base Alpha A very small planet (possibly a planetoid) that is the biggest hobo jungle in the quadrant. A space-rail runs right past it.
Chapek IX A world of "radical robot separatists" where "humans are killed on sight". Bender, Fry, and Leela go there to make a delivery. It is named after Karel Čapek, a Czech writer who coined the term "robot". The planet was colonized centuries ago by a group of radical robot separatists who despised working for humans and wanted to kill them all. These radical robots eventually created the five Robot Elders. The Robot Elders run the planet, though only from underground where they can not be seen. It is the Robot Elders who continue to feed the robots living on the planet lies about super-powers humans possess in order to maintain a certain level of fear and animosity. Above ground, the robot colony is run by a robot mayor. Every day a human hunt takes place at 5PM, yet for 146,000 days in a row no humans have ever been caught. After Fry, Leela, and Bender deliver the package to the robots whilst escaping from the planet, the robots praise humans for providing them with much needed lugnuts. Although it is not clearly stated, it could be assumed that after that delivery, the robots no longer hated humans.
FIRST AND ONLY APPEARANCE - "Fear of a Bot Planet"
PLANET - On first sight; the planet is blue-gray with an almost equal mix of land and water. Closer inspection reveals that it has an atmosphere breathable by humans and a very eroded surface. Many features show large-scale erosion of sedimentary rock by wind and water.
FAUNA - The planet is devoid of animal life (at least near the robot city) and may be a by-product of the robots daily human hunts.
FLORA - The plant life is itself very sparse with only a couple of varieties known. The most visible are several varieties of Bamboo-like plants. Three varieties of a Bamboo-like plant are known. All are composed of 1 to 4 segments with 1 to 4 orange leaves or petals extruding from the top. They all can reach a height of about 10 ft.
1a) Purple exterior composed of 1 to 4 segments with a gray ring between each segment.
1b) Purple exterior with no rings between segments.
1c) Light brown exterior that changes to red-brown on the uppermost segment with no rings between segments.
2) Large Mushroomlike form composed of yellowish disks separated by thin collars stacked on top of each other. Reaches a height of about 3 ft. note - this may actually be some type of fungi.
3) Large green bushes that grow in a slightly triangular pattern. They grow alone and in clumps and grow to about 6 ft.
4) a dark green grass-like plant that can grow in clumps and in large lawns. The clumps can grow to about 2-3 in.
Cyclopia Home of Alkazar, a shapeshifter with whom Leela has a brief relationship (in the episode "A Bicyclops Built For Two"). The surface area appears to be in ruins. There is some doubt whether this is the actual name of the planet, or if the name was changed to accommodate Alkazar's ruse.
Decapod X Dr. Zoidberg's (and the Decapodian) home planet, mostly a giant beach. Decapod X appears to be in orbit around a gas giant planet.
Earth The main planet in Futurama; Planet Express's home planet.
Eternium Homeworld of the Nibblonians, the most ancient race in existence (the race was already 17 years old when the universe was forged in the Big Bang), at the exact center of the universe. When we see the planet on screen, the subtitle appears, "Inconceivable dimensions not shown". Eternium is sometimes incorrectly called "Nibblonia" by fans.
Mars The Red Planet, terraformed, home to Mars University. The planet's Western Hemisphere is owned by Amy Wong's parents, an ancestor of whom acquired it by 'duping' the native Martians. Buggalo (cow-ladybug like insects) live on it as well.

In the Futurama universe, Mars is, unlike Utah, habitable, with an atmosphere that has sufficient oxygen for life to exist. The Wong Family reside in a ranch house there and own at least half of the entire planet. The Wongs also donate much of their fortune to Mars University, one of the best colleges in all the galaxy. Mars mirrors the American West in the days of cowboys and Native Americans in that the college students and the Wongs encroach on the land of the native Martians. The Amazons (in Greek, ) were a mythical ancient nation of all-female warriors. ...

McPluto Formerly Pluto, a dwarf planet, this icy world is now a large wildlife preserve populated with penguins and other polar creatures. Reference to McDonalds buying the planet in "The Problem with Popplers".
Mercury Fry and Amy visit Mercury under a blazingly close sun, to test out Amy's new car. There appears to be little human habitation on the planet, with the notable exception of one symbolically-named gas station (Hg's Gas), whose sign reads: "The only gas station 'til you circle the planet and get back here!" Amy and Fry ignore it. Despite the lack of life Mercury has a breathable atmosphere.
Near-Death Star An artificial planet where 160 year old humans are taken so they are out of the way on Earth. A reference to the Death Star from Star Wars.
Neptune Home of the Neptunians, a race of four-armed, purple humanoids to which Elzar the chef belongs. Robot Santa's fortress is located at the north pole of Neptune.
Neutral Planet Where everything is grey, the official motto is "Live free or don't", and the ruler of the planet has "no strong feelings one way or the other". When Zapp Brannigan attempted to attack the planet in "Brannigan Begin Again", a "beige alert" was issued, and the leader of the neutral planet said "If I don't survive, tell my wife 'Hello'".
Omega III A 'forbidden planet', featured in "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", where the original 79 episodes of the banned Star Trek was first jettisoned to, subsequently retrieved by the Planet Express crew. Home to Melllvar, a member of an unnamed energy/gas cloud-like species.
Omicron Persei VIII A planet inhabited by the Omicronians, and ruled by Lrrr. The Omicronians have a saying, "men are from Omicron Persei VII, women are from Omicron Persei IX," a reference to the book "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus." The Omicronians repeatedly attempt to take over Earth.
Osiris IV A planet similar to ancient Egypt, as the two cultures apparently were in contact; for a short period ruled by Bender in the position of Pharaoh.
Pova IX A planet featured in "The Lesser of Two Evils" that hosted the Miss Universe pageant. Appears to have been colonized by humans in the past.
Spa V The sauna planet. Previously home to a forced labour camp, but now all the work is done by a single Australian.
Spheron I An insignificant planet formerly inhabited by a race of creatures who resemble spheroids or balls. In the episode "War is the H-Word", President Nixon's head commands Earth's forces, lead by Zapp Brannigan, to invade. Bender was able to "convince" the Spherons to leave their home planet planet forever.
Stumbos IV A high-gravity planet featured in "Brannigan Begin Again", where the crew are ordered to deliver pillows to a hotel situated there.
Tarantulon VI A planet inhabited by the Spiderians. The D.O.O.P. raged a war there and bought back $1 trillion worth of silk and treasure back to Earth, resulting in the $300 tax refund. It is mainly featureless. Interestingly, the Spiderians are more closely related to elephants than spiders.
Trisol A desert planet with three suns and apparently water-based inhabitants. It is located in the darkest depths of the Forbidden Zone in the Galaxy of Terror ("It's only a name!"). Fry accidentally drinks the Emperor and Leela discovers a that that's how every Emperor succeeded the former.
FIRST AND LAST APPEARANCE - "My Three Suns"
PLANET - Even from space it looks like a big desert with no visible surface water. On the ground it looks like an even bigger desert with almost every square inch of land covered by sand. Strangely, it does have a breathable atmosphere.
ANIMAL LIFE - The only apparent animal life are the Trisolians themselves. No other animals are to be seen.
PLANT LIFE - There is no apparent plant life either. This suggests that a non-life generated oxygen cycle is taking place on this planet.
Tweenis XII The third known world that the Brainspawn destroyed.
Venus Not much is revealed about Venus on the show except that much of it has been terraformed into a bright pink jungle with significant volcanic activity.
Vergon VI A planet that no longer exists. The planet was once full of dark matter deep under its crust. After all the dark matter was mined out, the planet was left hollow and in danger of implosion. The planet's surface was full of oxygen and was also capable of supporting life. Nibbler was stationed on this planet for about 1,000 years before being found by Leela. In addition, an entire collection of animals found nowhere else in the universe thrived there. The Planet Express crew traveled to the planet in order to save the animal population, yet through a series of uncontrollable events failed to do so. In the end, the planet became so unstable that it finally imploded (on April 13, 3000) and was reduced to nothing but crust fragments. This was not a total distaster because, as Fry pointed out, some animals survived on the remaining planetoids. It is unclear whether Nibbler alone, or other Nibblonians were responsible for the huge amount of dark matter inside of the planet.
FIRST AND LAST APPEARANCE - "Love's Labours Lost in Space"
REFERENCE - "The Why of Fry"
PLANET - Once, a lush yellow-green planet with large areas of water. The surface was covered with life, both plant and animal and had a breathable atmosphere. Later, a loose conglomeration of chunks that will eventually make a pretty decent asteroid belt.
ANIMAL LIFE - Here is a list of the known animals that once inhabited the planet :
1) Purple Fruit Snake
2) Sharktopus
3) Chilean Space Bass
4) Parasitic Puppy
5) Gretchen Mole
6) Windy Shrimp
7) Vampire Slug
8) Excommunicated Cardinal
9) Four-Legged Mimic
10) Molotov Cockatoo
11) Hermaphlamingo.
PLANT LIFE - The plant life was at least a varied as the animal life with many forms similar to earth plants visible.
Wormulon A planet famous for the production of a soft drink called Slurm. Slurm's advertising catchphrase is "It's highly addictive". Wormulon has a ring system similar to Saturn's, but has been manipulated to display the Slurm logo.

These planets are known to exist in the Futurama universe due to the dialogue or scenes of an episode, but are never actually seen in any detail.

Africon IX Referenced in "Raging Bender" on a poster in the movie theatre showing the movie 'Shaft on Africon IX', a reference to the movie Shaft in Africa.

Aloe Vera V In "Bendhibition", Leela offers Fry some aloe vera from Aloe Vera V after scraping himself on a rose bush.

Hoth In "The Sting", Hermes exclaims "Sweet three toed sloth from ice planet Hoth!" He said this before Leela woke from the coma, so it may or may not exist. A reference to Star Wars.
Hovering Squid World 97A Home to (apparently) the universe's only other Philip J. Fry in existence on December 31, 1999. Possibly a reference to the Blooper, a Squid enemy from the Mario series that sometimes hovers through the air.
Jupiter Home to a university, Jupiter State. The monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey orbits the planet, although it is out of order. It smells like strawberries.
Klingon Has an embassy on the same street as many other planets on Earth.

The Octillion System This galactic system of planets is mentioned in "Love's Labours Lost in Space" when Leela tells Fry and Bender that Zapp Brannigan single-handedly defeated a rampaging horde of killbots there.

The Planet of the Moochers Where the inhabitants constantly leech off of others.

Vega IV Also known as Paramecium Homeworld. Despite being apparently single-celled creatures, its inhabitants reproduce sexually (or at least have "womanoid" forms). A news report mentions that this planet is attempting to wipe out the human race.
Zuban V Zuban V seems to be inhabited by a race that is very small and mummifies its leaders like Ancient Egypt (cf. Osiris IV above). In "I, Roommate", Professor Farnsworth owns the sarcophagus of Emperor Nimbala, who ruled the planet over 29 million years before the year 3000. Incidentally, Fry eats Nimbala's mummified remains, thinking that they are beef jerky ("I wanted to eat that mummy!"). In the same episode, the Professor gives Fry the mummified Zephulon the Great, who apparently is "teriyaki-style". There is also a race known as the Zubans that are also known for their cigars, similar to the Cubans of today. It is unknown if these Zubans are the same as those of the jerky-like mummies.

Fictional/possibly fictional planets

Due to the nature of their appearance in the show, it is not known if the following planets actually exist within the Futurama universe.

Nintenduu 64 During the second use of the "What If?" machine, Fry decides to see what life would be like if all of the universe was a video game. The planet Nintenduu 64 then attacks Earth à la Space Invaders. This planet may not exist in the "real" universe as it was only referenced in a "What If?" machine scenario. The name is an obvious parody of the Nintendo 64.
The Radiator Planet Where Fry assumes the "radiator woman" he just made out with is from in the episode "Lesser of Two Evils". (The existence of 'The Radiator Planet' is still in question. He was probably just making out with a radiator.) Possible reference to David Lynch's feature film Eraserhead.
Rigel VII The home planet of Kang & Kodos from The Simpsons. In the Futurama/Simpsons Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis, Lisa used a holophoner to project the image of Rigellians. However, this event took place inside the comic book, thus meaning Rigel VII most likely doesn't exist.
Subterra III Home of the eyeless Mole People, who according to Alkazar (in "A Bicyclops Built for Two") fired missiles at Cyclopia because they were jealous of their visual prowess. Unclear whether an actual planet, or part of Alkazar's ruse.
