Episode

Omicron Persei 8 is a planet situated about 1000 lightyears from Earth, in orbit around the star of Omicron Persei. The rulers of the planet are Lrrr and his wife Ndnd. It's surface seems to consist mainly of deserts. It is the home world and capital of the warlike Omicronians, the single greatest threat Earth and the entire Democratic Order of Planets are facing. It seems to have a small, asteroid-like satellite. In addition to this, there could be two or more moons, since Lrrr tells Ndnd he will send her to the third moon of Omicron Persei 8.

Neighboring Planets and Asteroids

The Omicron Persei system contains at least 27 planets, as Omicron Persei 27 has been mentioned and the number indicates which planet in the system is being referred to, with the highest numbers being furthest from their stars. Omicron Persei 8 is neighbored by the planets Omicron Persei 7 and Omicron Persei 9 as referenced by Ndnd.

Omicron Persei 8 has at least three moons (the "third moon" is mentioned by Lrrr in "Spanish Fry").

Additional Info

The Omicronian flag

Quotes

    Lrrr: One of these days, Ndnd... [Points into the air.] Bang! Zoom! - Straight to the third moon of Omicron Persei 8!

    Ndnd: It is true what they say... Women are from Omicron Persei 7, men are from Omicron Persei 9.

Trivia

  • The Omicronian flag is red with the numbers 08 in alien language.
  • Omicron is a planet, as opposed to a star, featured in the ninth book The Omicron Invasion (1984) of Dr. E. E. Smith's science-fiction novel series. Use of the name may be a homage to Smith's work - Smith is considered by some to be the "father of space opera" - some episodes of Futurama could be considered to fall under this category.
