The Solarites are a peculiar-looking race of spacefaring lilliputian-sized humanoids and the arch-enemies of the Rhetonians.
Described as a "fire people" which originates from a "sun's satellite", they seek the Gravity Control technology of the Rhetonians and apparently need it to prevent their own world from being pulled into their sun.
Biology[]
Like the Rhetonians, the Solarites are lilliputian-sized bipeds. Their appearance is somewhat bizarre, with long thin limbs, pointed shoulders, a somewhat fish-like mouth, bulbous foreheads, and bulging eyes. Physically, they are much stronger than the Rhetonians.
Culture and society[]
The Solarites are a spacefaring race that travels on flaming ships. They attack with high-intensity heat bombs, which, in enough quantity, could blow up an entire planetoid, such as Rheton.
Appearances[]
- The Phantom Planet (1961)
Notes[]
- The claim that they originate from a "sun's satellite" is scientifically almost meaningless. Technically, any planetary body of any kind that orbits a sun would be considered a sun's satellite.
