| Ice | Planet
Ice second furthest planet from the Cluster sun and is a world carved out
of glaciers from oceans long ago frozen. Since it is the only source of
pure water in the Planet Cluster, Planet Ice is subject to constant raids
by the other Planets. The constant attacks on Planet Ice make its inhabitants extremely wary of visitors. Planet Ice's armies
can break down into molecular machines and travel via an icy Nanonyte Fog.
This fog surrounds unsuspecting raiders, and then solidifies to attack.
The people of Ice are insect-like, with two legs and four arms, two which
fold against their back when not in use.

| Ice Flea | Although
not capable of sight, an Ice Flea
will seldom miss its mark due to guidance provided by a top mounted
cannon. As 'heat signatures' are acquired, the heat-seeking cannon directs
the blind beasts to a target by pulling a bit attached the Flea's mouth.
Ice Fleas are comprised of Nanonites, microscopic working machines that
are exclusive to Planet Ice. These tiny machines have the ability to
create much larger forms when linked together. Because they are
microscopic, Nanonites have the added ability to travel undetected through
the air as a mist, called the Nanonyte Fog. Through this medium they can
travel quickly and secretly reform as Ice Fleas, taking the enemy by
surprise. They also use them to freeze their prey. When tame, these
animals are used by the Ice Army as a weapon.

| Ice Mite | Ice
Mites
are the main ground assault vehicles of Planet Ice. They are formidable
weapons of war, extremely agile and adept in a variety of environments.
Ice Mites
can sprint through open fields, climb crevasses, leap across open chasms,
and even float on water. As an integral part of Planet Ice's notorious
'Avalanche' attacks, Mites form a spherical armoured shell and roll down
hillsides at breathtaking speeds, pouncing on enemies with savage fury.
They are also insulated to take heavy damage.

| Igneous Knight | Reflecting
the leadership of their young Prince, the Igneous Knights of Planet Fire
are a rugged and hot-headed group. Despite their fiery disposition, they
are extremely loyal to their home world and willing to lay their lives on
the line to preserve its sovereignty. The Knights' unique armour is a
combination of precious metals and igneous rock, endowed with the ability
to repair itself from damage simply by being submerged into a lava source.
Their dangerous flame lances are the Knights' main offensive weapons, used
as brutal lances in hand to hand combat and as flame throwers in medium
range conflicts.

| Inferno, The | What people of Fire swear to; their God; "By the Inferno!" | |
| Inferno Fighter | Capable of carrying out a
wide variety of missions, the Inferno is a deadly multi-role fighter. The
fighters are made from super-light and extremely strong metallic alloys
that allow for nimble manoeuvres during combat. The light weight also
allows the craft a small and powerful engine that is powered by Volcanic
Alloy, a hard to find and incredibly heavy heat source. During launch, the
craft's wing flaps open to capture hot air drafts (either from natural
vents or from carriers), which instantly catapult the fighter into action.
The ship and pilot stand vertically during combat, echoing the tradition
of the Igneous Knights as they rode their assault chariots into battle.

| Jade | Jade
is grim, tough, and as hard as granite. A commander in the Planet Rock
military, Jade is Graveheart's childhood best friend. She is terse, to the
point, and has no patience for foolishness or cowardice. Jade abandoned
her commission in the Planet Rock military to accompany Graveheart on his
mission to unite the Planet Cluster. While she didn't necessarily believe
in his cause initially, she absolutely believes in Graveheart, and has
come along to ensure his safety and success.
After the death of Mantel, she becomes the new ruler of Rock.

| Jewelia | The
sworn enemy of Sternum. She rules the other half of what remains of the
Prison Planet. Her home planet is unknown, although there is reason to
believe she comes from a crystal planet.

| Jungle | The
Jungle planet is a seemingly uninhabited world, until it is discovered
that the plant life has evolved into a unified consciousness. This planet
sacrificed itself in the Alliance's cause - by becoming a huge bomb that
would explode once the Beast consumed it. Sadly, the explosion had no
effect. All that's left of the planet is a clipping, cared for by Femur,
so that the Jungle planet's spirit may live on.

| Lamprey | Lamprey is the first of the
two field commanders for the Beast Planet's advance forces. She has only
one purpose, to divide and conquer by any means necessary. Using her
wraith-like abilities, she helps serve the Beast Planet's cause by trying
to destroy the Alliance from within.

| Lava Dog | Lava
Dogs are ferocious reptilian creatures that live in subterranean lava
tubes and volcanic caverns. These indigenous animals have adapted to the
lava flows and use them as extremely bountiful hunting grounds as well as
routes for transportation to and from volcanic formations. Lava Dogs get
their name from the loud bark they emit while hunting. They almost always
travel in pairs and are impossible to train or domesticate. These fiery
creatures have a bark as savage as their bite.
They can suddenly appear to anyone taking the Trial by Fire. See also: Fire, Trial by Fire |

| Lodestone, The | Belonging
to the Tectonic carrier class, the Lodestone is Planet Rock's flagship
troop and equipment carrier. A fully loaded Tectonic class carrier can
hold up to a 100 Quarriors, 6 CRPR units, and 12 MULE Dozers. Like the
rest of Planet Rock's arsenal, the Lodestone isn't built for speed, but
for absolute strength and resilience. Extremely well shielded against
enemy attack, these carriers can take a supreme amount of abuse before
showing any signs of damage. The Lodestone can set down on planetary
surfaces to unload its powerful invasion force.

| Mantel | Gruff,
arrogant, and stubborn, Lord Mantel sits like a rock on his throne and
rarely, if ever, leaves it. Supremely confident in the power of his
planet's battle-moons, Mantel has no interest in offering any help from
Rock to the Alliance. Mantel feels that his battle-moons can handle
anything that is thrown at them and that the Alliance would take his
troops for granite.
Arrogant and stubborn. He is killed
in a battle against Blokk.

| MULE | MULE
(Multi Utility Loading Excavators) Dozers are primarily used for the
harvesting and mining of raw materials for Planet Rock. Equipped with
sonic and quartz cannons, laser blasting tools, and diamond drilling rigs,
there is little that can't be dissected by a MULE Dozer. Its potent
harvesting equipment also makes the MULE a lethal force on the
battlefield, where it acts as the front line muscle, supporting ground
operations. An excellent all-round workhorse, the MULE is the backbone of
Planet Rock's defence corps. Its modular design allows it to be
retrofitted to provide much needed minesweeping and construction functions
as well.
