A planet is, generally speaking and without going into too much detail, a celestial body, orbiting the Sun or a star, capable of forming itself into a spherical shape with its own gravity. A body usually has to be pretty massive to do this, but there are some pretty small planets in Homestuck. Many planets have smaller spherical bodies orbiting themselves, which are called moons.

Trolls hail from the planet Alternia, while humans originated on the planet Earth. After being moved into a new universe, the Earth was renamed Earth C, and both of these races settled there alongside the carapacians and consorts. Every planet destined for intelligent life is said to have a first guardian who protects it and facilitates the planet's purpose.HS

Four Planets

The beta kids' planets as depicted by Wayward Vagabond in the skies of Can Town.

Each iteration of the Medium is home to a fixed set of small planets. In the center is the Battlefield, most recognisable as the clouds of Skaia floating around it, which acts as the star of the game's system. Orbiting just outside the clouds of Skaia is Prospit, and in the far reaches of the system beyond the Veil is Derse.

TrollskaiaAH

The trolls' planets and client-server connections.

In a shared orbit between these two extremes are a variable number of planets associated with each hero of the session. These planets serve as the beginning of each hero's adventure and is contains a multitude of puzzles and challenges to be solved and overcome. Each planet is inhabited by a race of amphibious or reptilian consorts and a mysterious denizen who slumbers in the planet's core. All of these aspects of a planet tend to reflect aspects of the player themselves in some way, including their mythological roles, and serve to further the hero on their quest toward achieving this role. These planets have simple names which are descriptive of these aspects, in the format of the "Land of _ and _". As such, they are sometimes called "lands".

Above the location of a hero's house on their planet is a series of gates, which lead to other locations on that planet as well as the planets of other players. These gates seem to be somehow fixed upon the planet's location, moving when the planet also moves such as in [S] Collide.

It appears that a hero's planet appears with them upon their entry to the Medium,HS[image?] further evidenced by the emptiness of B2's Medium in [S] DD: AscendHS.[image?] However, many of the planets contain structures and stories from their inhabitants that suggest they have existed in some form for a long time,[citation needed] a form of creation reminiscent of the Creationist Omphalos hypothesis and reflective of the way that worlds in video games and other fiction are created.

Eight Planet Session

An eight-planet session displayedHS in the Skaianet Laboratory beneath Rose's home seemingly foreshadowed the ultimate merging of the pre- and post-scratch kids' four-planet sessions.

While the Alpha trolls' planets have not been named or visited in any depth, Openbound features those trolls in locations resembling many of the Beta trolls' lands - namely LOMAT, LOBAF and LOQAM. Furthermore Damara Megido's Cardinal Movement resembles the quartz and music box set pieces from Aradia's land. Thus it can likely be inferred that the Alpha trolls' lands were similar, if not identical to those of their dancestors.

In The Homestuck Epilogues and Homestuck: Beyond Canon (Dubiously Canon)[]

Dirk Strider seeks out a wholly new planet, which he dubs Deltritus, in order to continue the planetary cycle of death and rebirth.[citation needed]

Trivia[]

  • The second of the Gaiden Music Albums was called Land of Fans and Music (LOFAM).
  • Despite a statement in [S] ACT 6 ACT 3HS, The Nobles will arrive one by one. First to LOCAH, then to LOPAN. Then comes LOTAK, followed by LOMAX., Dirk's houseHS actually entered the Medium before Roxy's house did.HS
    • When put in the order of the prophecy, instead of the actual entry order, the planet names line up with the order of the noble gases on the periodic table of elements.
