Kerona is a desert planet, 3744.3 km in diameter, with a breathable atmosphere, an average air temperature of 40 degrees and a variety of indigenous life forms. The planet is under development by Arrakis Corp.[1] There is one main settlement, Ulence Flats, which contains a variety of shops and is protected by forcefields to keep out the subterranean Grell.

The indigenous sentient beings of the planet are quite cleverly called Keronians, and live in undergroun cities. They use sandskimmers to avoid the Grell.

[edit] Game Involvement

During the events of Space Quest 1, Roger Wilco crash landed on Kerona in an escape pod after the destruction of the Arcada. Stranded in the desert, he had a run-in with a Sarien Spider Droid and an Orat. Soon after, he made a visit to a native Keronian city, and took a ride in a Sandskimmer he borrowed from them.

Roger also visited the outpost of Ulence Flats, won money on the Rocket Bar slot machine, purchased a Droid and was tricked into stealing a Drallion Cruiser by an alien named Tiny. In addition to this, Roger overheard vital information in the bar that led him to the location of the Sarien ship, Deltaur in Sector HH.

Much later, in Space Quest 4, Roger returned to Kerona traveling back in time to the Space Quest 1 Time Sector (original version[2]) and revisited Ulence Flats. His visit resulted in a run-in with the Monochrome Boys and the retrieval of a pack of matches from the Rocket Bar.

Depending on the era Kerona's sky is either purple or a putrid shade of green.

[edit] Plot Inconsistency

The planet Kerona is stated that civilization is "unknown". Later it is learned that it has only one known settlement[citation needed], which is Ulence Flats (the Keronian underground city is obviously not a "known settlement"). However, when looking at the mountains in Ulence Flats (VGA Version only), you're told about a place called "Yomammy National Park (a spoof on the Yosemite National Park, which lies in close proximity to the former Sierra Oakhurst building). Although a national park is not necessarily a "settlement". The Galactic Inquirer also mentions a town of Gurz Heights as being on Kerona as well.

Please feel free to contribute your own thoughts or work to complete it, but keep in mind that what is here is even more tentative than MOST of the Omnipedia, which is already pretty darn tentative.
