Canondorf Posted January 28 Posted January 28 (edited) I've seen some pretty good lore speculation over the years, on how Lego Space fits together. I'd love to hear your interpretations of the lore of Lego Space, based on art, set names, product descriptions, comics, little snippets from old magazines and catalogues. I'll give a couple of ideas to get started. One is a timeline, in which all the Lego Space themes are a development of one another. The other is just a general "they all exist side-by-side at once" interpretation. First off, if you regard Lego Space as being related to City, rather than it's own thing, then a timeline might look something like this: - 20th Century - City Space - 23rd Century - Classic Space - 28th Century - Futuron, Blacktron I, Space Police I, M-Tron - 31st Century - M-Tron, Blacktron II, Space Police II, Ice Planet - 38th Century - Ice Planet, Spyrius, Unitron - 46th Century - Spyrius, Unitron, Exploriens Lets say that future Lego people became an entirely space-bourne civilization. They live in their pressurised suits most of the time. They have explored thousands of remote asteroids, around barren gas giants, as well as local stars, red and brown dwarfs. As seen on the box artwork. Then they begin to venture out across the entire galaxy, as described in set names like "Galaxy Explorer". Perhaps they have few, if any, actual terrestrial worlds, existing mostly in pressurised space habitats. However, some sources mention a couple of planets, like the Blacktron's main base or homeworld, . Perhaps the galaxy just has a couple of major bases that the factions operate out of, beside their remote outposts: Perhaps Lego Space is a relatively low-alien setting, with few planets having intelligent life. Most factions are humans, long-separated colonies like the Blacktron. Zotaxians come from a parralel universe, when they invade the Lego Galaxy in the UFO theme. There are occasionally some primitive life forms like the green aliens in 2024 Space. When you look at the artwork of the Lego sets, they often depict the settlement, mining, exploration, of asteroids, barren moons, around uninhabitable gas giants, giving this sense that the Lego Space guys are a civilization in a "rare-Earth hypothesis" type galaxy. They are steely eyed missle men, adapted to airless environments, mining, being essentially hard-working engineers, explorers, scientists, like Lego City's construction sets. However, even though you sometimes see older uniforms being treated like a relic, such as statues of Classic Space astronauts in later works, there is another way of looking at it, since we know next to nothing about the timeline, in which all the old factions just exist side by side in the galaxy at once. Futuron, Blacktron I, Space Police I, M-Tron, Blacktron II, Space Police II, Ice Planet, Spyrius, Unitron and Exploriens are just a dozen different factions existing side-by-side. Perhaps there is an organisation something like this: Government - The 'Futuron Federation' [Capital: Planet Futuron] | --- Exploriens Division | --- Space Police Division | --- M-Tron Mining Corporation | --- Ice Planet Rangers Government - The 'Blacktron Conglomerate' [Capital: Planet Blacktron] | --- Blacktron I Faction | --- Blacktron II Faction In addition you have the Zotaxian Empire invading from another universe. Perhaps the Unitron are somehow a treaty or alliance between multiple factions, acting as a kind of mutual defence organisation between the Futuron, M-Tron Corporation, Ice Planet Rangers, etc. One English language product description mentions the "laws established by the Galactic Council", so perhasp this Galactic Council is a kind of Space UN, which Futuron and Blacktron are both members of, and theoretically meant to follow, but in actuality are rivals. Now that 2024 Space has re-introducted the uniforms of the Futuron, it seems that we can at least say that Classic Space, Futuron, and 2024 Space are the same exact civilization: They already all bear the Lego Space planet-and-ship logo. This raises a lot of interesting questions about where they go in a timeline. Perhaps they are just a different variant of the Futuron uniform, and exist side-by-side within the Futuron faction, say around the 28th-37th century in that completely speculative timeline above. Or perhaps they are between Classic Space and Futuron? Or perhaps they are after Futuron I, the long-awaited continuation of Futuron II as a faction, going forward, into a era of the theme that we haven't seen yet, with new Blacktron III and Space Police IV on the horizon? What are your interpretations friends? Edited January 28 by Canondorf Quote
Oky Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Good thoughts. I think the Space timeline has already been pieced together as best as possible in this thread: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/forums/topic/76493-the-space-timeline/ Placing the 2024 theme is indeed tricky, but I do think it goes somewhere between City Space and Futuron.

Canondorf Posted January 28 Author Posted January 28 (edited) The Classic Space sets look like an extension of the real-life Apollo programme Saturn V technology, going into an alternative future, where Saturn-family rocket development never ended. In real life, the reliable Saturn rockets were retired, and NASA was diverted into the wasteful Space Shuttle programme. Some people think NASA should have continued to develop Saturn technology further, continuing on to Mars and beyond. The Classic Space rockets have white-and-black checkerboard patterns, like an old Mercury-Redstone missle, or Jupiter missle, or Saturn V launch vehcile. So I agree that the 2024 Space theme is sometime after City Space. But I also think that Classic Space also comes first, perhaps 100-200 years after City, and is the first Lego Space faction after City Space. City Space goes through the Lego equivalent of the Apollo Programme (1976, set 565), then Shuttle Programme (1995 City Space, set 6339), then the Artemis Programme (2022 City Space, set 60351). In the latter, they set up bases in the solar system as evidenced by sets like "60350 Lunar Research Base". Eventually, they move out of the solar system, becoming the Classic Space faction, in sets like "491 Galaxy Explorer". During Classic Space, they gain FTL travel, exploring the nearest stars, and ships like the Galaxy Explorer start colonising the Lego Galaxy: Out there in the Lego Galaxy's equivalent of the nearest stars, which are largely just red dwarf stars, like 80% of the galaxy, they find lots of airless barren asteroids, minor planets, moons, gas giants, etc. Also rogue astronauts found the Blacktron faction. These barren stars are rich in minerals, so they begin setting up an amazing industrial civilization, building outposts and monorails on these barren lifeless bodies. They realise that terrestrial-style planets with oxygen atmospheres are relatively rare, explaining the airless, low-G, barren aesthetic of Lego Space, where everyone is always floating around some asteroid or moon. Assuming this is true, now the question becomes does 2024 Space come next, or does Futuron come next? You could interpret the 2024 Space focus on 'energy crystals' (60431 Space Explorer Rover) and 'super crystals' (60432 Command Rover) as evidence that they are just discovering the fuel that will power the later Futuron civilization, or it could be that the Futuron I came before them, and they are just finding a more efficient fuel (maybe the crystals are some silicon-based microbe that gives out emits more energy than it consumes, like in Space: Above and Beyond). The resulting fuel cells are called 'crystal-botanic batteries' (60434 Space Base). I initially thought that 2024 Space came before Futuron. Now I'm gonna go against that and propose that they come after Futuron, and are essentially Futuron II. Maybe that Unitron and Exploriens are not really a different civilization either, but exist around the same time? I don't have evidence for it, just essentially the look of the space suits, which have a kind of progression from Classic Space, to Futuron, to 2024 Space: I've not really got any evidence to go off, other than this vague impression from the uniforms. They could come between Classic Space and Futuron. However, Classic Space and Futuron seem to have shared the same colour system. Red: Pilots, White: Explorers, Yellow: Scientists, Blue: Security, Black: Spies. Wheras 2024 Space has adopted a new three-colour division of their departments, which might suggest it comes after Futuron I, as a new Futuron II : - Blue: Pilot/Explorer Division - Green: Science Division - Yellow: Engineering Division Either way, if 2024 Space come before Futuron, or after Futuron, you have the possibility of a 2025-2026 Blacktron revival. Futuron II and Blacktron III. Classic Space never had an antagonist faction, but Futuron had Blacktron. They seem to use electronic warfare, operating listening posts, perhaps to pick up messages from the Futuron, to steal their technology (6987 Message Intercept Base).

Canondorf Posted January 31 Author Posted January 31 (edited) Some further thoughts: Within 16.3 light years of Earth, there are 60 stars, in 52 star systems. The nearest, Proxima Centauri, part of a three-star system with Alpha Centauri A & B, is 4.25 light-years away: There are between 100,000,000,000 and 400,000,000,000 stars in our home galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy. It is a large spiral galaxy, with a disk 100,000 light-years to 170,000 light-years in diameter. Most of those 100 billion to 400 billion stars have planets. We don't know how rare an Earth-like world, inside it's star's Goldilocks-zone, is. 80% of stars are red dwarf stars, usually too faint or small to have a wide habitable zone. Binary and trinary systems are most common. We can assume that the Lego Galaxy, if it isn't identical to our real The Milky Way, is a similar large spiral galaxy. We have some small satellite galaxies. The nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, is similar to the Milky Way, except larger. Although marketing and descriptions differ between different countries, we can gather the names of various planets in the Lego Space universe. Presumably "Planet Earth" exists in Lego Space, sometimes referred to as "Planet Terra", the Latin for Earth, in some Lego Space material, if I remember. The Alpha Centauri star system exists, the closest star to ours, and there is a secret Blacktron base there. There is "Planet Krysto" aka "Ice Planet 2002". There is "Planet Blacktron" the capital or base of the Blacktron faction. There is "Planet B2" the later Blacktron base or capital. There is "Planet Spyrius" capital of the Spyrius faction. There is "Planet Unitron" where many factions meet. There is "Planet Axel". There is "Planet Zeebo". There is "Planet U" in a distant galaxy where the Rock Raiders found themselves after an accident. Then in another universe, there are "Planet Zotax" and "Planet Xizos" in the Zotaxian Empire. The insectoid world "Planet Holox" aka "Planet Armeron" also appears to be in the Zotaxian universe. At some point, it seems there is an organisation called The United Galaxies, maybe something like the United Nations, perhaps the origin of the Space Police's laws, perhaps established the Galactic Council. In real life, it will take hundreds of years with nuclear propulsion to reach nearby stars, unless we invent something better. It would currently require something like a generation-ship or sleeper-ship. So Lego Space must have some form of faster than light (FTL) propulsion by the time of "Classic Space", where civilization seems to be inter-stellar. Something like a warp drive, jump drive or hyperdrive. As far as I know, Lego have left this completely up to the indivdual builder to imagine, and we don't have any material on what they officially use. Then again, it's possible they just take generations to get to nearby stars! Early exploration in real life, will likely be of our own star system's major planets, dwarf planets, Jovian moons, Saturnian moons, asteroids and comets. Of which there are millions. Then it would logically advance to the nearest extrasolar star systems, with their own asteroids, planets, moons and dwarf planets. So, if City Space and Lego Space exist in the same timeline, then at some point, I assume humanity invents a type of FTL travel. At light speed, it would still take almost a year to reach the outer edge of our own star's cometary Oort cloud. It's likely that early Lego astronauts at first only explore nearby stars, including faint brown dwarf and red dwarf systems like Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B, Proxima Centauri, Wolf 359 and Groombridge 34 A & B. They would likely find uninhabitable worlds, but beautiful, mineral rich, mysterious planets like Mars, full of wonderous canyons, mountains, craters, etc, as well as distant lonely asteroids and ice bodies. You can see it in the pictures from Lego box covers and magazines. Perhaps this is why they need mobile tracking stations like the one pictured below; to track asteroids, to explore them, or avoid meteor showers. Human Factions: |- Classic Space / Futuron / 2024 Space |- Blacktron I / Blacktron II |- Space Police I / Space Police II / Space Police III |- M-Tron |- Ice Planet |- Spyrius |- Unitron |- Exploriens |- Roboforce |- Rock Raiders Most of the Lego Space themes didn't include alien life. It later become more common. I prefer to keep alien life to a minimum, as fewer aliens seems to be reasonable, closer to hard sci-fi, fitting the aesthetic from 1978-1996. Let's assume that the Drake equation, the estimate of how much alien life exists, is very low for the Lego galaxy. They perhaps find primitive microbes more often, but less often complex life, and even less often intelligent life. It's only later, when they gain very fast propulsion, and can explore distant planets like Ice Planet Krysto 2002, that they begin to encounter a handful of civilizations. However, if you believe that every theme of Lego exists in the same universe, then humanity first meets peaceful native Martians on Mars in our own solar system, then gets attacked by an unidentified civilization on Mars, during it's early exploration of the solar system. Some of the few choice civilizations would be: "Martians" (from *Life on Mars*) [Friendly] "CrystAliens" (from *Mars Mission*) [Hostile] "Alien Life" (from *2024 Space*) [Neutral / Friendly] "Zotaxian Empire" (from *UFO*) [Neutral / Hostile] "Buggoids" or "Bugs" (from *Galaxy Squad*) [Hostile] I'm not going to include every alien, including the silly ones from late-Lego-Space themes like Space Police III (which had stupid stuff like cop cars chasing aliens with dollar bills or alien gangsters wearing 1920s mob-era fedoras - it's not Lego Space as far as I'm concerned), but only ones that seem like a major civilization, or which are definately part of a reputable space theme. I'm not even sure Alien Conquest counts as a Lego Space theme, or else we could include Planet X2.5 and those aliens. But the above ones have appeared in either a decent City Space theme or a decent Lego Space theme. Then, if you are okay with aliens as part of the Space theme, this is a more detailed speculative timeline: 20th century - "1995 City Space" | humanity is launching space vessels to orbit [e.g. 6339 Shuttle Launch Pad] 20th century - "1999 City Space" | humanity is launching space vessels to orbit [e.g. 6456 Mission Control] 21st century - "2011 City Space" | humanity is launching space vessels to orbit [e.g. 3368 Space Centre] 21st century - "2015 City Space" | humanity is launching space vessels to orbit [e.g. 60080 Spaceport] 21st century - "2022 City Space" | humanity is exploring the moon [e.g. 60350 Lunar Research Base] 21st century - "2019 City Space" | humanity is exploring planet Mars [e.g. 60226 Mars Research Shuttle] 21st century - "Life on Mars" | humanity encounters native aliens on Mars [e.g. 7315 Solar Explorer] 21st century - "Mars Mission" | humanity fights another species invasion of Mars [e.g. 7693 ETX Alien Strike] 23rd century - "Classic Space" | humanity is exploring asteroids and extrasolar planets [e.g. 6980 Galaxy Commander] 25th century - "2024 Space" | humanity is exploring asteroids and extrasolar planets [e.g. 60431 Space Explorer Rover and Alien Life] 28th century - "Futuron" | humanity is exploring asteroids and extrasolar planets deep into the galaxy [e.g. 6893 Galactic Starship] 28th century onwards - "Blacktron", "Space Police", "M-Tron", "Ice Planet", "Exploriens", "Rock Raiders", etc Alternatively, if you find some of these aliens to be a litte bit too much on the cartoony side, you can just ignore them. The main part of the Lego Space theme is those human factions. From Classic Space to Rock Raiders. Possibly including Aquazone. It's possible they are exploring the seas of some alien world, an ocean under the surface of an ice moon. I'm gonna suggest than rather than a crowded Star Wars style galaxy, there are perhaps only a few major colonies in the Lego galaxy, perhaps planets that were named by explorers: Futuron, Krysto, Blacktron, Spyrius, Unitron. I'm gonna suggest it's best to keep to just existing aliens, or it muddles the setting. Edited February 3 by Canondorf Quote
tomfow Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I would include Aquazone definitely. Original Seatron is very near Futuron style and even Aquazone is using magnets for example. For me it is just another branch like Ice Planet. :) Quote

While Aquazone did evolve out of the Seatron idea, it is commonly regarded as an Action theme since it was never confirmed to be set on another planet or simply in Earth’s future. Having factions themed around Earth sea creatures such as sharks and rays suggests it is the latter. Besides, as evidenced by threads like this, the Space lore is confusing enough without having to work Aquazone into it. Quote
JesseNight Posted February 6 Posted February 6 I have to agree not seeing Aquazone as a Space theme, despite the similarities in how vehicles are built. I remember first seeing Aquazone as a kid in the catalog it released and at first thinking it was a new Space theme... then being disappointed when I read the story and found out it wasn't. Not saying it was bad, it just lost its appeal to me. Quote
Canondorf Posted February 9 Author Posted February 9 (edited) I see Aquazone as space-adjacent at least. Maybe it's set in the near-future on Earth, making it contemporary to say 2019 City Space, Life on Mars or Mars Mission? I've been going through Lego Space lore this past week, trying to find what I can about things like names of technology, and terminology. So that I could gather it here (for reference, for interest, for everyone's common use). Does anyone here know what type of FTL is used in Lego Space? I couldn't find a single reference to what type of FTL propulsion is used in Lego within comics or anything. Ship's log books were referred to as the Explorer's Log in early exploration of the solar system. As an example, I looked at the terminology for various "crystals" in different space themes, and they are mostly quite consistent: - "lunar crystals" (comic: Journey to the Moon) ----------------------- [neon green] - "biodium" (theme: Life on Mars) -------------------------------------------- [red] - "energy crystals" (theme: Mars Mission) ------------------------------- [neon green] - "energy-crystals" (theme: Lego City Space 2024) ------------------ [purple] - "super-crystal" (theme: Lego City Space 2024) --------------------- [violet] - "energy crystals" aka "brickonium" (theme: Rock Raiders) ---- [neon green] - "energy crystals" aka "brickonium" (game: Rock Raiders) ----- [red] So perhaps different forms of "energy crystals" were first discoverd on the Moon, then Mars, and then have been mined for hundreds of years since, across the galaxy. An early war was fought over them on Mars, with the dangerous mysterious CrystAliens, humanity's first interplanetary war. The CrystAliens must still be out there in the galaxy somewhere, lurking. Then a new purple variety was found by the 2024 Space guys, perhaps deposited by asteroids from silicate microbes or something (my headcanon). A lot of that information was from either Lego catalogues or comics. This is a list of comics that I could find for different space themes: - Journey to the Moon (Space Port) - Mystery of the Red Planet (Life on Mars) - First Contact (Life on Mars) - Robot vs. Robot (Life on Mars) - A Slight Shock! (Life on Mars) - For a Few Crystals More (2024 Space) - The Unknown Galaxy (Classic Space) - Encounter at Ice Station Odyssey (Ice Planet) - Another Universe (UFO) - Rock Raiders (Rock Raiders) Many of them are avialble online, photographed from old magazines. I considered posting all of them here, but it might overwhealm the thread with massive scans/pictures. I'll try to include a few higher quality examples only. There are some translations of Russian scans of a Life on Mars comic. As many of you may know, The Unknown Galaxy is a classic of space lore, providing what might be an early stage of the Classic Space era. Encounter at Ice Station Odyssey is not that great, but one of the few appearances of the Blacktron II. There is a short story giving some background on Spyrius, including references to this United Galaxies council type organisation: These Rock Raiders comics were available here, on a Rock Raiders related forum. They are not the best ones that I read through. I also thought this was an incredibly well-researched lore video on Blacktron: There are also two videogames, the Mars Mission related Lego: Mars Mission - CrystAlien Conflict for web browsers and Lego: Rock Raiders for the PS1 and PC. I also tried to piece together as many planet names as I could: - Planet Earth / Planet Terra (Sol System / Milky Way Galaxy) [City Space] --- Earth's Moon (Sol System / Milky Way Galaxy) [City Space] - Planet Mars (Sol System / Milky Way Galaxy) [Life on Mars, Mars Mission] - Planet W [2024 Space] - Planet X [2024 Space] - Planet Zonia [Classic Space] - Planet Commercia [Classic Space] - Planet Robus [Classic Space] - Planet Blacktron [Blacktron I] - Planet B2 [Blacktron II] - Planet Axel [Blacktron II] - Planet Krysto / Ice Planet 2002 [Ice Planet] - Planet Spyrius [Spyrius] - Planet Uniton [Unitron] - Planet Zotax [UFO] - Planet Xizos [UFO] - Planet Zeebo [UFO] - Planet Holox / Planet Armaron [Insectoids] - Planet U ("Distant Galaxy") [Rock Raiders] - Planet X2½ [Alien Conquest] - Planet Lavoo (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] - Planet Zorax (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] - Planet Veedo (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] - Planet Selva (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] --- Selva's Moon (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] - Hive Planet (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] - 814FTW (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] - 214DAL (Selva System / Selva Galaxy) [Galaxy Squad] If I was to piece that all together, I would say that a planet is first just assigned a generic six-character code like 184JKL when telescopes detect it among millions of exoplanets, then might be informally named after a letter of the alphabet upon first survey contact by a passing ship like Planet N, and then if it is properly explored and settled might get a proper human name like Cooltron. Or it may already have an alien name. In addition to the return of Futuron II, Blacktron III and Space Police IV, if Lego wanted to re-introduce other factions, I would personally then go for one of the hostile aliens, either the Zotaxians who already look completely badass, or the CrystAliens who had bad minifigures that would be easy to update but are pretty mysterious like the Chigs in Space: Above and Beyond. They must be humanity's oldest foe, probably have other branches and lost colonies out there in the wider galaxy. Again, does anyone knows what type of FTL has ever been named in Lego? That would be great to know! (And very important lore!) So there, it's all archived, so that people in future can hopefully find some use in this thread. Edited February 9 by Canondorf Quote

Sure, Aquazone is action theme and that is probably due to LEGO marketing and way of doing things in those times.. Plus I have one strong reason to consider Aquazone to be space theme. We all agree that Sea-tron is (or would be) space theme. And if you check the pictures for it, you can clearly see octopus, sharks and manta ray. At the same time there are chrome crystals and helm masks for Sea-tron. Aquazone is utilizing all of these (except Manta Rey), so one theme is space and other is not? Some sharks could be on other planets and others cannot? I just liked ideas and ideas in: Edited February 19 by tomfow Quote
JesseNight Posted February 20 Posted February 20 This discussion is among the reasons Aquazone never appealed to me and always felt weird. To me it wasn't Space... but it sure appeared like it tried to be a Space replacement or addition. I just couldn't put my finger on it where to place it. Quote
