10 Best Fictional Planets In Sci-Fi Movies
9. Helion Prime, Riddick
The central planet of the Helion System, featured primarily in 2004's Pitch Black sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick, Helion Prime is an opulent, 26th century planet that bears some resemblance to a futuristic Egypt.
Far from the inhospitable sandy worlds of Star Wars, Helion Prime is a social and cultural bastion that is the closest planet to the sun in its system and is rich in the basic natural resource of light (and thus solar energy).
Helion Prime has a similar atmosphere to Earth (75% nitrogen and 17% oxygen, to Earth's 78% and 21% respectively), which, along with its proximity to the galaxy's sun, makes it ideal for human life to thrive on. As such, Prime also serves as the relay for light and heat to a collection of other cold planets in the System.
A generally peaceful, culturally diverse and tolerant planet, Helion Prime is home to 147 countries, with the peaceful and awe-inspiring New Mecca at its centre - a hub for followers of Islam that welcomes citizens of all faiths.
