Early during it's 1,000 year voyage to a new home, a major nuclear catastrophe occurred aboard, killing all but a handful of the 50,000 Darians aboard her. The Daria was 900 years into its space voyage when its distress signal was picked up by Moonbase Alpha. From the episode "MISSION OF THE DARIANS" (Year 1).
DIONE: A beautiful, dark-haired and utterly ruthless BETHAN military commander. She was the captain of the massive gunship SATAZIUS.

DORCONS: A race of conquerors. Long-time enemy of Maya's people, THE PSYCHONS. A sort of futuristic Roman Empire. Well-equipped, technologically advanced, the DORCONS are ruled by a leader called the ARCHON. Acting as a sort of prime-minister to this Emperor-like figure is a COUNSEL. The Dorcons' power spans galaxies, and the Empire has the ability with its MESON CONVERTERS to transport warships - and perhaps armadas, across vast distances instantaneously. The Dorcons are obsessed with immortality, and hunt Psychons because a surgically implanted Psychon brain-stem can buttress Dorcon physiology, permitting virtual immortality. Maya noted that the Dorcons also control "the forces of nature." From the episode THE DORCONS (Year 2).
DORZAK: A great PSYCHON philosopher and friend to MENTOR and MAYA's family. When environmental changes threatened to destroy Psychon, Dorzak fled the planet along with with other Psychons. As a refugee, he attempted to foment insurrection on the planet NORVA, in the solar system called CROTON. A leader of great power, who came to prize survival over morality, Dorzak had powerful mental abilities, like a futuristic Rasputin. When his followers became too powerful, DORZAK was captured by the NORVANs and exiled from the system to the planet THESSALINA. He escaped from his captor, SAHALA, during a stopover at Moonbase Alpha, wherein he reunited briefly with Maya. It was there, on Alpha, that DORZAK learned the priceless art of molecular transformation, making him an even greater threat. Though he was re-captured by Sahala, Dorzak's final disposition is not known. From the episode DORZAK (Year 2).
ELLNA: An Earth-like planet where a great humanoid society once dwelled in fabulously advanced cities. When Commander Koenig and med tech. Blake Maine come upon the planet some 2306 days after the moon has left Earth's orbit, the planet is a giant cemetery, the cities lined with corpses.

Since there was no cure to the disease, Etrec and Pasc were both incarcerated in stasis in a subterranean lunar chamber. Pasc and Etrec were unearthed by the Alphans centuries later, some 640 days after breakaway. After some difficulty, and the death of Pasc, Etrc was cured by Dr. Helena Russell. Healthy once more, the boy was safely returned to his peace-loving people. His mother LYRA, his adopted caretaker, MAURA. From the episode "THE MARK OF ARCHANON" (Year 2).
GOLOS: Known by its inhabitants as "the peace planet." A once- beautiful world marred by much internal dissent. A group of dissidents led by the psychotic CANTAR and ZOVA attempted to take over the government.

Some three centuries later, Moonbase Alpha came across the flight path of those chambers, which assumed a dangerous orbit around the moon. From the episode "THE EXILES" (Year 2).
GWENT: A brilliant scienist from the planet SEBO. Gwent invented the ultimate repository for his intellect and consciousness, a living machine entity.

The living machine version of Gwent arrived at Moonbase Alpha wielding terrible power and demanding supplies. Gwent destroyed three Eagles and one (perhaps two...) surface tanks before finally committing suicide. The entity known as Gwent was blind and required the comfort and help of COMPANION...in fact, the humanoid scientist who had created the monstrosity! From the episode "THE INFERNAL MACHINE" (Year 1).
