History
Zundam was the eighth planet from the sun in the Fakowi star system within the Milky Way Galaxy. It was the planet on which the Zundamites originated.[1]
Over a century (or more) ago, the planet-ravager Terminus came to Zundam to steal its wealth and enslave its population.[2]Residents
Notes
- Although John Byrne was the writer/artist who created the alien who led Terminus to Earth, it was the writers of Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (Vol. 2) #15 who identified that alien as being a Zundamite from the planet Zundam. The only known images of Zundam were created decades later by artist Nick Dragotta for FF #20.
- Given that the process by which Terminus plunders his target planets of their natural resources involves breaking their masses down into their component elements, it seems likely that Zundam was either destroyed[2] or rendered uninhabitable[3] like all of the other worlds he had plundered.
- This would suggest that the world of the Zundamites whose hologram was projected during a Future Foundation class being taught aboard the Foundation space station may not have been Zundam, but was actually a planet where most of the surviving Zundamites had resettled.
- Alternatively, given that that hologram apparently changed color, from green and pale blue when first seen to a dull brown when next seen, it's possible that the first image was a historical one that depicted Zundam as it appeared before Terminus arrived, and the second image was of how Zundam appeared after Terminus had ravaged it.[4]
