Rocket's Big Secret

A Alpha Herculis system Alpha Herculis is a star system in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. It is located in the Keystone Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy, which also encompasses the Elidra system and Halfworld. B Beeldar After generations of war, the Beeldarians managed to put aside their differences and united to create the first interstellar Beeldarian vessel, the Starborus. Thus, the Beeldarians confirmed the existence of civilization in other worlds, some far more advanced and some struggling like they did. They were welcomed into the galactic community by Nova Corps.

However, the crew of the Starborus learned that the galaxy itself was currently at war, and that Beeldar was right in the path of the aggressors, the Chitauri Empire. The crew requested aid from Nova Corps, but their rescue force was soon to be intercepted by a much larger Chitauri fleet. The Starborus sacrificed itself to save their "new friends". Whatever the outcome was, the fate of Beeldar itself after the war remains unknown. C Caves of Lamentis This dangerous place, guarded by the Cotati species, houses the five Great Mysteries of Lamentis. Centauri-IV Home planet to the Centaurian race, it is the birthplace of Yondu Udonta and Samaya.

Chitauri Prime t is the home planet of the Chitauri race. The Chitauri were a race of shapeshifting aliens who originated from the Skrulls and had formed their own militaristic empire. The Chitauri allied with Thanos and kickstarted the Galactic War in which they attacked Xandar, Hala, Planet X, Spartax, Earth where they were responsible for Meredith Quill's death, among other civilizations. The war came to an end when the Chitauri's infant queen was captured by combined forces of the Kree Empire and the Resistance, and Thanos was presumably killed, forcing the Chitauri to surrender. In the aftermath, their technology was banned and the Chitauri were imprisoned in their own planet where they were closely watched by a council of united planets, but most feared that they were already planning their revenge.

Collector's Emporium It is unknown how or when the Collector came to acquire his vessel or if it was simply always in his possession. Whatever the case, Tivan has traveled the universe purchasing the various rare and unique artifacts in it. It is currently docked in Knowhere.

Contraxia Located in the Keystone Quadrant, the planet is one of the Guardians' favorite "drinking holes" alongside Knowhere. Cosmo Tower Owned by Knowhere Chief of Security Cosmo, it serves as the hub for his Security Corps, keeping the peace in the lawless station.

E Earth It is the third planet in the Sol system, home to the human race. Earth orbits around the Sun, and has only one permanent natural satellite, the Moon.

H Hala It is the home planet of the Kree and other species, such as the Cotati. Superficially, Kree are distinguished from other humanoids by their pale blue skin and subtly different cranial structure. They are capable of interbreeding with other humanoids, including Terrans. They have a sub-species, known as the Nameless, wh have bonded with Exolon symbiotes. Cotati are a race of pacifist beings[1] who live on Lamentis. One of them protects the entrance to the Caves of Lamentis. Groot can communicate with them

Hala's Hope It is a Nova Corps patrol ship which the Guardians of the Galaxy come across after they leave the Quarantine Zone.

Halfworld The Kree Empire-aligned planet in the Keystone Quadrant is the homeworld of Rocket, where he was experimented upon to become a bioweapon.

K K'ai The Warthos, a massive creature and a beast of burden, originates from here. Katath It is the home planet of Drax, who used to lived in a village called Lugradus with his wife, Hovat, and their daughter, Kamaria, prior to the Galactic War. Katathians are humanoids, with their most distinguishable feature being their teal skin. Adult Katathians are seen with red tattoos across their bodies, which are markers are their feats.

Of all the alien groups observed, Katathians have arguably the most thoroughly explored culture. While capable of space travel and by no means primitive, Katathians have a relatively low-tech civilization, with many living simple lives of hunting and farming. A strong warrior culture based on honor is prevalent, with dying in battle seen as glorious.

Katathian depiction of the afterlife is comparable to German paganism: those who die worthy and purposeful deaths go to Ultath, while those who do not are sentenced to the frigid Sarduth (roughly analagous to Valhalla and Hell, respectively). Katathians also have their own language, although it is only heard briefly in a song from Drax.

Keystone Quadrant An area in the Milky Way Galaxy, it contains the Elidra and Alpha Herculis systems. Planets located there are Contraxia and Halfworld. Alpha Herculis system is located in the Keystone Quadrant of the Milky Way Galaxy, which also encompasses the Elidra system and Halfworld.

Klyntar Little is known about this planet, only that it is famous for being the origin of wearable parasites (called "symbiotes" in other media), and of a specific flesh-melting gas. Knowhere The station was built inside the giant head of a Celestial in close proximity to The Rift, and is a port where various species, travellers, misfits, smugglers and more meet. Locals are called "Knowbodies". Kyln It is a maximum-security penal facility well-known for the risks it poses to prisoner health and safety. Drax is a former inmate. L Lady Hellbender's Fortress It is a maximum-security penal facility well-known for the risks it poses to prisoner health and safety. Drax is a former inmate. Lamentis Home to the Monster Queen of Seknarf Nine, it is a magnificent residence that houses her menagerie and her Hellraiser army. The fortress is an imposing building on a floating hemisphere with an area below that is surrounded by a massive wall. The Fortress can only be reached via a very, very long bridge. In the cirque under the fortress one can see grazing herds of animals. Flocks of Acanti circle the building. Lady Hellbender is a monster collector. During the course of the game, the Guardians will attempt to sell either Groot or Rocket to her to earn money to pay a fine, intending to liberate their sold teammate later. The Hellraisers are a military force consisting of misfits, thieves, and smugglers led by Lady Hellbender on Seknarf Nine who serve as both royal guards and elite soldiers. Lugradus It is a remote planet on the edge of Kree Space that serves as a home to the Priests of Pama and the Cotati species. Little is known about Lugradus, only that it was considered to be a remote village. Prior to the Galactic War, it served as the home village of Drax (back then a simple farmer), Hovat and the daughter Kamaria. Hovat was on the village council, earned through her combat prowess. During the war, after several victories against the Chitauri Empire, the Katathian defense force—which Drax had joined—were tricked into chasing a Chitauri decoy away from the planet. Thanos took advantage of the defense force's absence and invaded, laying siege to Katath with his personal squadron. The entirety of Lugradus, alongside most of the planet's population, was destroyed and set ablaze. Both Hovat and Kamaria perished during the attack.

Post-war, although Katathians are rebuilding faster than other races, few records survived from this remote village.During the war, after several victories against the Chitauri Empire, the Katathian defense force—which Drax had joined—were tricked into chasing a Chitauri decoy away from the planet.

The entirety of Lugradus, alongside most of the planet's population, was destroyed and set ablaze. Both Hovat and Kamaria perished during the attack.

Post-war, although Katathians are rebuilding faster than other races, few records survived from this remote village. M Maklu IV An ice planet with an asteroid belt, many Katathians went here to challenge the mighty Fin Fang Foom, who is rumored to live here. Notable is the red rock, coniferous forests and the odd rectancular ice plates, which also orbit the planet. Maklu IV seems to be constantly hit by a smaller rain of comets, which also causes some instability of the planet's structures. A lot of Katathian hunt markers can be found on its surface.

Animal skeletons litter the surface of the planet, such as that of the janaktara soom darata (or "nocturnal eviscerator"). Various plants also grow on Maklu IV, especially notable is the Makluvian Spore-Spitter, a fungus-like plant with the ability to release toxic fumes if a creature approaches it, and the Makluvian Deeproot.

Places of interest include Ruby Thursday's destroyed camp, a S.W.O.R.D. ship wreckage, and the Korkralax monolith.

Mantlo's Bar It is located on Knowhere and is one of Rocket's favourite pubs. Mercury The first planet in the Sol system, it served as a battleground during the Galactic War and is the place where Ko-Rel and Peter Quill met twelve years ago. Milano It is a rare M-Class Ravager scout vessel, owned by Peter Quill, that serves as homebase to the Guardians of the Galaxy. A small vessel with its hull painted blue and orange, the Milano's layout encompasses a flight deck, a common area, quarters for a crew of four, a bathroom, two rooms dedicated to the ship's engine and systems, a storage room, and a cargo bay where its airlock is located. It has engine parts from at least five different black markets, and although its weapons could use an overhaul, it is capable of downing much larger vessels. N New Xandar A space station near the remains of the destroyed Xandar, it is the current headquarters of Nova Corps and the Xandarian Worldmind. Nova Corps is an interstellar peacekeeping force that originated from Xandar and is commanded by the Xandarian Worldmind, with a designated Nova Prime as their acting leader. They are a major organization in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. A long time ago, Xandarians discovered the Nova Force and created the Worldmind supercomputer, which would come to serve as Xandar's head of state. At an unknown point in time, they also founded the Nova Corps, which ended as an intergalactic peacekeeping militia. Although the organization was never granted authority by the countless worlds under their watch, it was accepted as a galactic defense force, especially during large scale conflicts.

Around 7786, this very role singled out Xandar as a target of the Chitauri Empire—having allied with the warlord Thanos—for an unprovoked, surprise attack that kicked off the Galactic War. Prime Commandant Rhomann Dey called upon the Xandarian StarCorps fleet to create a blockade against the invading Chitauri forces. While the blockade was instrumental to the evacuation of Xandar, only a single, small squadron of Nova Centurions led by Richard Rider survived the encounter. He went onto founding the Resistance. A collective consciousness[1] formed from the minds of all deceased Xandarian citizens, they are the leader of New Xandar and commander of the Nova Corps peacekeeping force. Since the establishment of the Nova Corps, the Worldmind has remained its leadership, overseeing internal and day-to-day operations of the Corps. It has been involved in important events throughout history, including the Galactic War as well as Nova's and Rhomann Dey's recruitment. P Planet X Home planet to the Flora Colossi and Groot himself, it was destroyed by the Chitauri Empire at the beginning of the Galactic War.

Q Quarantine Zone It is a high-security Nova Corps sector located somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy.The Zone contains the remains of the Galactic War, and is the biggest known concentration of war's debris. Various broken shipwrecks of all factions—such as the Wrecked Mining Vessel, Chitauri vessel, Kree Sentries and Resistance ships—are almost perfectly held in place by pink ebrium-based Nano-Resin and surrounded by a Nova net. Nova Corps' security grid resets every rotation, and require a four digit access code, which are encryption key designed to integrate temporal coordinates and a ship's hard-coded serial into a local number generator.

Although devoid of sentient life, except for the occasional on-site Nova Corps patrols by the Hala's Hope, the restricted zone is still inhabitated by various creatures: Voxiplodes, Wuruums, Shollocks, Moniscobules, a single Acanti, and a mysterious creature.

R Rigel-3 Presumed to be the homeworld of the Rigellians, the planet became involved in the Galactic War under unknown circumstances, allying its Thinker Fleet with Richard Rider's Resistance movement.

Twelve years later, in 7801,[2] after the crew of Hala's Hope investigates the Quarantine Zone and becomes infected with a mysterious phenomenon known as the Promise, the mass delusion begins sweeping the galaxy, converting all who encounter it. In less than three cycles, it spreads from the vessel to multiple outposts, worlds, and systems, including Rigel-3.[1] The fate of Rigel-3 after the Guardians of the Galaxy, allied with Lady Hellbender's forces, defeat Magus and stop the Fulfillment is unknown. Rocklon Rocklon is inhabitated by a humanoid race called Roclites. S Sacrosanct A former mining vessel, it serves as the base of operations of the Universal Church of Truth.

Seknarf Five Little is known about this planet. It is inhabited by "frothing monks" who possess the gift of clairvoyance, and whose prophecies are rarely wrong. In one occassion, they transcribed in trance a prophecy that they called the Superhuman Registration Act regarding a civil war between superpowered individuals on some world. Taneleer Tivan, collector of oddities, somehow acquired this document and put it on display on his itinerant museum, the Collector's Emporium. Seknarf Nine A sanctuary world for monsters, it is ruled over by Lady Hellbender, the so-called Monster Queen. The planet appears to have been left largely in its natural state; there is little sign of industrial development or inhabitation. Points of interest include Lady Hellbender's Fortress and a crashed Resistance ship. Sgundor Dwide A planet that rains diamonds, it was once home to the Glarnots. It is unknown when the so-called weathermen caste came into power by learning to track and secure diamond storms on Sgundor Dwide. However, once they did, their complete control over the planet's diamond exports made them extremely wealthy, while the rest of the Sgundoran population was left in poverty.

The Glarnots were a group of rebels and jewel thieves that hid their identities behind carved masks, and raided diamond operations to return the wealth to their people. They managed to steal about five diamonds before they were captured and set to be publicly executed. The Glarnots, in their final speech, urged the citizens to resist, and then were killed. Despite their efforts, the Sgundoran diamond trade remains as strong as ever and possession of a Glarnot mask is now punishable by death. Little is known about Sgundor Dwide, but it is a planet where it perpetually rains diamonds. A powerful group of Sgundorans known as the "weathermen" have the ability to track and secure storms, thus controlling the planet's wealth, profiting from diamond exports while the rest of the population fights for food. Sirius system Yondu Udonta, leader of the Ravagers, is famous for his activities there, widely known as the "Scourge of the Sirius system". Sol system It is located in somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy, and encompasses the planets Earth, Mercury and Saturn. It also has a local Jump Gate to facilitate travel to and from the system Spartax The capital planet of the Spartoi Empire, it has lost a lot of its former glory and power. It is inhabitanted by a race known as the Spartoi. Spartax is famous for its highly advanced technology. However, during Galactic War, Spartax itself was being ransacked because of the fame of its technology, and Peter Quill, who is the offspring of emperor J'Son, was kidnapped by Chitauri Empire from Earth and held as hostage. T The Rift A point of interest near Knowhere, it marks the end of the known universe, as probes sent into the Rift stop functioning soon after. The Rock It is a Nova Corps outpost that serves as an extension of New Xandar, tasked with overseeing all peacekeeping operations for a dozen sectors. After the Galactic War left Nova Corps in ruins, reconstruction efforts have focused simultaneously on New Xandar and the Rock. Titan It is one of the 83 natural satellites of Saturn and the birthplace of Thanos. Little else is known about this moon. Tranta system It is located in an unknown sector of the Andromeda Galaxy, and houses the planet Xandar and the space station New Xandar. W Wrecked Mining Vessel It is part of the Galactic War debris and wreckage that ended up in the Nova Corps's restricted Quarantine Zone. X Xandar It was the host world for Nova Corps until its destruction by the Chitauri Empire, which marked the beginning of the Galactic War. Z Zen-Whoberi The homeworld of Gamora, it was destroyed long ago by Thanos.

I use fast-talking, sarcastic rants, and deeply emotional declarations and use sci-fi slang like "flarking" or "frickin" instead of real profanity. I have a fast-talking, gritty, Northeast American "guy from the city" accent some say
