One of the planets has its own ring megastructure and a moon, while the largest planet has structures built on top of it.

The system is comprised of three apparent gaseous giant planets connected by two megastructural rings, with two more rings surrounding the emperor's Command ship. Zarkon flew into a rage at Alfor and the Alteans for the loss of the rift, sparking a war that ended with Altea and numerous civilizations annihilated, and marking the beginning of the Empire's ten-thousand year reign.ĭue to the destruction of his home planet, Zarkon governs his empire from within his Central Command Ship serving as the core of the Empire's Central Command System, at the very heart of the Galra Empire. The overexposure seemed to kill both he and his wife when they recklessly left the safety of Voltron inside the rift.īut after Alfor held their funeral and destroyed the evacuated Daibazaal to erase the reality rift forever, Zarkon and Honerva awakened, changed and corrupted by their ordeal. His fellow Paladins were not aware of his trickery until it was too late. Once Zarkon and Honerva became obsessed with the Quintessence found in the reality rift, the exposure damaging Honerva's health, Zarkon attempted to bring Honerva into the rift using Voltron so he could save her with the Quintessence and darkness within. He was joined by Alfor and their allies as Paladins, and Voltron became known as a heroic fighting force. Zarkon married Honerva and was soon forced to become the Black Paladin to defend his home planet from the darkness escaping from the reality rift. When a Trans-Reality Comet crashed into Daibazaal and caused a rift to open in its wake, Alfor brought Honerva and other Altean scientists to investigate the rift while he built the Voltron Lions from the Quintessence-infused ore of the comet. This alliance extended to Trigel, Blaytz, and Gyrgan as a warrior's bond. The Galra Empire was once concentrated on a single planet, Daibazaal, under Zarkon's rule, and held an alliance with planet Altea through King Alfor.
