  • Gamma Leonis VI(b) — A planet known as 'New Mars', where the native saurians are used as draft animals. Gamma Leonis is a binary star system in the constellation Leo.
  • Garson's Planet — A planet of Theta Centauri. The least unpleasant of the thirteen planets of that star, with a surface gravity of 1.25 g, an unbreathable methane atmosphere and very cold. The only reason it is settled is that it is relatively close to six plotted congruencies which makes it invaluable to interstellar transport.
  • Hespera — A planet from which the spider puppy (Pseudocanis hexapoda hesperae) 'Mr Chips' originates and home of Miss Eldreth (Ellie) Coburn.
  • Mars — A planet where the inhabitants, when visiting Earth, wear "…trefoil sunglasses and respirators".

    “You are at your very best when things are worst.”
    —Raynold Gideon, U.S. screenwriter, and John Carpenter. Starman (Jeff Bridges)

    “Men’s hearts are cold. They are indifferent. Not all the coal that is dug warms the world. It remains indifferent to the lives of those who risk their life and health down in the blackness of the earth; who crawl through dark, choking crevices with only a bit of lamp on their caps to light their silent way; whose backs are bent with toil, whose very bones ache, whose happiness is sleep, and whose peace is death.”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)
