Planet U40 is the home world of the Ultras from The☆Ultraman.
Overview[]
Geography[]
On the surface the planet resembles an idyllic land of green plains, and sparkling rivers. Both the land and its people, who are dressed in Greek togas, are peaceful and buildings similar to the Parthenon in Greece litter the surface. However, beneath the tranquil exterior, advanced technologies and cities can be found in U40's crust. U40 is also host to more rugged, rocky areas. These locations also seem to be inhabited, as similar buildings to those found on the plains can be seen across the landscape. Unlike the Land of Light, which uses the Plasma Spark as its artificial star, as its own had reached the end of its life prior to the Spark's construction, U40 still has its own star which it orbits, and thus experiences a normal day and night cycle.
Government[]
U40 appears to be run by a ruling council of elders. How they are elected is not entirely known, if by vote, based on age, or a combination of the two. This council sits over judicial matters as they were the ones who sentenced Heller and his followers to exile. Among the council the Great Sage sits at the top as the most respected leader, and seemingly ultimate authority.
History[]
At unknown point in time, like hundreds of thousands of millions of years ago, many colonies were created by the people of U40. These were not colonies in the typical sense but some of the people of U40 who had grown tired of their utopian existence, longed for challenge and so decided to restart from scratch on distant worlds. Some colonies were destroyed by forces such as the Bader Group, which further drove the two civilizations into conflict. Others thrived, with the colonies adapting to their new worlds and their descendants loosing the spiritual evolution that their ancestors had. Others also interbred with native primitive life forms, which in this universe is said to be the origin of humanity. Effectively, potentially all forms of humanoid life in the U40 galaxy could trace its origins to this planet.
A million years ago, the people of U40 created the Ultra Mind, which gave them the power to transform from humanoids into Ultrahumanoids. They used this power to uphold peace throughout the universe, though one man and his followers decided to use their powers for conquest, abandoning their Ultrahumanoid appearances in exchange for immortality. Defeated, they were exiled to the Dark Nebula by the Great Sage. After that, the Ultra Mind was sealed away inside a hidden hole in space. The Ultras of U40 made enemies with other races such as the Bader Group, Alien Baladon and Alien Scien.

Trivia[]
- Although stated to be in the Milky Way galaxy, Earth's home galaxy, U40 is stated to be two million light years away. In real life the Milky Way is estimated to be 100,000 Light years in diameter, meaning that U40 would be placed close (in galactic terms) to the Milky Way's closest neighbouring galaxy, Andromeda, which is approximately 2.5 million light years from Earth.
- The people of U40 are very obviously based on common depictions of ancient Greeks, given their style of dress, and architecture.
