Spaceball City

Planet Spaceball was the home planet of the Spaceballs, which lost all its precious air. President Skroob reigned over the planet from Spaceball City.

Environment []

Planet Spaceball was a dull, barren planet with gray and dusty terrain. All that was visible in the sky was the blackness of the surrounding space and the stars scattered throughout.[1]

The man-made structures on the planet consisted of large spherical buildings scattered randomly across the ground and connected via roads laid out in a grid like fashion. Some spheres, or 'balls' had blue lights emitting from their tops. The balls also existed in various sizes; in Spaceball City, there were many tiny spheres scattered along the ground, with larger ones in between, all centered around the largest one, the capitol, where President Skroob resided, which had a decorative piece on its top.[1]

Society[]

Little was known of society or life on Planet Spaceball, aside from its inhabitants having squandered their atmosphere by causing a massive air shortage. Citizens were reliant on a product called Perri-Air to survive because of the lack of air. Despite this, President Skroob denied an air shortage happening, dismissing it to a concerned phone caller as a "rumor" even though he did indeed know about the problem.[1]

Planet Spaceball's political system seems to be either a democracy or a republic, as it is governed by a president, who proclaimed that he could not make decisions because of this. The Spaceballs had a justice system implemented on their planet, as evident by the Prison Balls located in Spaceball City. The Spaceballs also had a vast military apparently led by Dark Helmet, in addition to the president.[1]

Trivia []

  • In Spaceballs: The Animated Series, Planet Spaceball is referred to as Planet Moron, like it was in an early draft of Spaceballs.
  • The fate of planet Spaceball after the movie is unknown. Since the Spaceballs failed in their plan to steal Druidia's air, their planet may very well have lost what was left of its air supply altogether.
    • Conversely, it is also possible that the Spaceballs continued buying Perri-Air from Druidia, and thus survived.
