Mentioned by Vila as the site of a swamp fever that had killed millions. Presumably a planet.
The term Dorian used for the creature that the survivors of Liberator, together with Soolin, would become. He described them as "bound together by time and pain", and capable of cleansing him of more corruption and degeneration than an individual could. The Gestalt never came into being, since Avon killed the creature Dorian was already exhausting and Dorian died as a result.
Federation officer of unspecified rank, working under Servalan on her cruiser after the Intergalactic War. He resented Deral's promotion, considering himself better material for a senior officer, and he appeared to think he had been passed over through not having the right connections. Ginka supervised the curing of Franton from the alien pathogen, was in charge of the assault on the control centre on Auron, and commanded the bombardment of Auron from Servalan's ship. He lied to Servalan in order to discredit Deral, persuading her to let him destroy the replication plant, but was killed by Servalan once she realised the truth.
| Powerful being on UP-Duel, titled the Keeper. She appeared as an aged crone, though whether or not this was her true appearance is unguessable. Together with Sinofar, she controlled the Power, the weapon that ended a thousand years of war. Openly excited by Travis" ruthlessness and aggression, she interfered with the Duel arranged by Sinofar, almost leading to Blake's death. Like Sinofar, she "didn't ask to be chosen", but appeared to resent her situation more. Her relationship with Sinofar was an uneasy one - as Sinofar said to her at the end, "You keep us prisoners". | |
Dr A.J. Globbs" name was seen on Renor Leesal's medical record.
The Charl of the Tents of Goth, who had conspired with his brother, Rod, to have his father imprisoned. Gola then seized the throne and expelled Rod. At some point he had suffered head injuries and was healed by the cybersurgeon Lurgen during his stay on the planet. Gola intended to take Jenna as his wife (or "pair bond"), despite the reservations voiced by his sister Tara. He also had Vila instated as his fool, but later had him thrown into the dungeons. After defeating Rod in single combat, Gola was poisoned by Tara, who took the throne for herself.
Keiller noted that gold had been virtually mined out everywhere except on Zerok, where it was relatively abundant. It was bought by many people, including the Federation who used it as currency in fringe deals with "frontier planets lacking computer link-up". Gold was ferried from Zerok to Earth on the pleasure cruiser Space Princess, albeit listed as a consignment of fruit. At the mine on Zerok it was rendered temporarily worthless by a computer-coded process as an additional security measure.
A gong was sounded in the church on Cygnus Alpha as Vargas prepared to sacrifice Gan.
Derogatory epithet, used by the space rats in reference to Dayna and Vila. Originally used by U.S. military personnel, referring to the people of South-East Asia.
A neutral planet which Blake visited in search of Lurgen. The atmosphere was toxic: Jenna observed that prolonged exposure would "rot your lungs eventually", suggesting that sulphur dioxide was present and Jenna did specifically mentioned sulphur. The population lived largely underground, although trees were plentiful on the surface. Rats were seen underground. Docholli described the people of Goth as "a crude lot", and the technology there was unsophisticated. Weapons included swords and spears, although the crossbows used by many warriors fired bolts that exploded on impact. "We are a warrior people," said Gola at one point, a statement difficult to deny. Goth was ruled by a king or Charl, probably inherited through the male line (though Tara appeared to assume rule once both her brothers were dead).
The planet was visited by Blake, Jenna and Vila. Servalan and Travis had arrived some days sooner. Named Goths were the royal family: Gola, Rod and Tara. Tara passingly mentioned the "Lost Time", possibly implying early colonisation from Earth, but no meaningful details were given.
