Moth (fictional planet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moth is a fictional planet created by Alan Dean Foster for his Humanx Commonwealth universe. Moth has two notable features. First, a set of broken rings around the planet gives the globe a distinctive look from outer space, an appearance similar to that of a Terran moth. Second, its dominant weather pattern is almost continual rain, mostly because of the near constant cloud-cover.
Beyond its outwardly interesting facade, Moth is a relatively unimportant planet having a substantial non-native human population. It is the planet where Mother Mastiff lives and where she rescued Flinx from a slave auction. Flinx spent his childhood on this planet learning how to survive on his own and become a thief at the same time.
The novel The Tar-Aiym Krang (1972) introduced the planet to the Humanx Commonwealth universe; Foster greatly expanded information about Moth in the novel For Love of Mother-Not (1983).
