Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what year does the 'Star Blazers' first saga, 'The Quest for Iscandar', begin?

Answer: 2199

At the close of the 22nd Century, Earth is a vibrant and technologically advanced place. But it was also about to become the target for an insidious attack by a mysterious enemy.

2. The story begins after what major disaster has befallen the people of Earth?

Answer: Radioactive bombardment

Earth is bombarded from deep space with planet bombs--large bombs that have contaminated everything with radiation and forced the survivors to live underground.

3. The empire of what planet, bent on destroying the Earth, is actually trying to terraform it so that they can move to it?

Answer: Gamilon

Gamilon is a dying planet. Its leaders found Earth to be a suitable replacement, and use the planet bombs to try and make it more like Gamilon.

4. What organization is formed to combat the threat of attack from deep space?

Answer: Star Force

Star Force is a multi-national organization committed to protecting Earth from threats in near and deep space. 'Starship Troopers' is the name of a Robert Heinlein science fiction novel. G-Force is the name of a similar team on another classic animated series, 'Battle of the Planets'.

5. Which famous 20th-century warship was retrofitted for use as a space battleship?

Answer: Yamato

The battleship Yamato, the pride of the Japanese fleet and a symbol of the country's seagoing might, was sunk by American aircraft during World War II. Arizona and Bismarck were also sank by enemy action, but weren't salvaged for use in space. Though the name Enterprise is best known from 'Star Trek', two American aircraft carriers also bore that name--one of which is still in service.

6. What name was given to the Star Force's space battleship for its run on American TV?

Answer: Argo

The Yamato was renamed for the benefit of American audiences. It was still called Yamato in the Japanese version of the series, as well as the feature films linked to the series..

7. Who was the Star Force's first battleship captain?

Answer: Avatar

The venerable Captain Avatar took a collection of men and women and turned them into the Argo's new crew.

8. Queen Starsha of the planet Iscandar sent her sister to Earth with plans for a light-speed propulsion system that would help the Star Force reach her planet. What was this system called?

Answer: Wave motion

The wave motion engine not only functioned to propel the Argo, it could also be channeled so the ship would act like a giant cannon.

9. How far was it from Earth to Iscandar?

Answer: 148,000 light years

The Star Force definitely had to pack for that trip!

10. Starsha had a machine on Iscandar that could be used to rid the Earth of deadly radiation. What was this machine called?

Answer: Cosmo DNA

Starsha didn't have the means to send the huge Cosmo DNA machine to Earth, which is why she had to send Earth the plans for the wave motion engine.

11. What was the name of Gamilon's ruler and military leader?

Answer: Desslok

Desslok inspires loyalty from the Gamilon people, but has a tough time winning over the Star Force. Lysis was one of Desslok's top generals.

12. What is unusual about Sandor, the Star Force's science officer?

Answer: He's a cyborg

Sandor was severely injured in a childhood rollercoaster accident. Bionic parts were installed in him (much like Steve Austin in 'The Six Million Dollar Man') and made him stronger.

13. What was the name of the squadron of space fighters stationed on the Argo?

Answer: Black Tigers

The Black Tigers usually got the better of their Gamillon counterparts in the intense space dogfights. The Black Panthers were a militant political group from the 60's. The Black Knights are the US Army's skydiving team, and the Blackhawks are a pro hockey team based in Chicago.

14. How did Captain Avatar ultimately die?

Answer: Radiation sickness

Only Dr. Sane, the ship's surgeon, knew of Captain Avatar's bouts with radiation sickness. Avatar saw Earth one last time before he died, shortly before the Star Force's triumphant return.

15. In the theme song, it mentions that the Star Force has how long to get to Iscandar and back before 'the Earth will disappear'?

Answer: One Earth year

With only days to spare, Star Force meets its one-Earth-year deadline and cleanses the planet of deadly radiation.
