| When most of the powerful villains on Earth had been defeated, Toriyama looked to the stars for new enemies and inspiration. Dragonball takes place in the East portion of the universe, which contains four major galaxies. While Buu destroyed the North, South, and West clusters of galaxies, killing their respective Kaioshins and Kaios (He absorbs the Dai Kaioshin), there is way too little information on those systems to put them in this section. Hence, only the East section of the Universe is displayed. A chart of the god hierarchy is displayed at the bottom of this page...

Where most of the action takes place in the series, the North galaxy contains many planets that harbor life. It is ruled by the North Dai Kaio and the four lesser Kaios, who each live on their own small planetoids in heaven. Only movie #8 shows a system from another galaxy.PLANET ARLIA
A fairly small world, Arlia is home to a race of insect-like creatures. The planet is controlled by an unjust ruler, and many of its inhabitants have been forced into slavery. Vegeta and Nappa arrive at this planetPLANET EARTH
A medium sized planet with large oceans and varying climates, Earth is the perfect place for life to flourish. The birthplace of all the human Z warriors, Earthlings participate in martial arts tournaments to prove their strength. All of the Dragonball series and most of Z is spent on Earth.
A-1 North West
This is where Majin Buu built his home during the buu saga. It also contains the forest from which Cell hatched.
A-2 North Central
This is where Babidi's spaceship was, and the place where he freed Buu. Majin Vegeta and Goku also fought on this spot, which is what gave Babidi the energy to free Buu. The Cell game was also fought in this area, and it was where Piccolo Daimao threatened the chief of the army in Dragon Ball.
A-3 North Central
This is where Dr. Gero's lab was before it was destoryed.
A-4 North East
This is where one of the Red Ribbon guard towers exists.
B-1 Central West
This is where the infamous Karin Tower exists ^_^, and it also the home of a Red Ribbon base, and the Dinosaur that tried to fly away with and eat Bulma in Dragon Ball.It also where the Castle of God is. Which is directly above Karin Tower.
B-2 Center
This is where Vegeta and Goku originally fought. It is also where Future Trunks lives in his alternate future. It is also where the Capsule corporation exists.
B-3 Center
This is where Lord Pilaf's castle exists. It also contains the town ruled by the Rabbit Gang, and Yamcha's house.
An odd fish-like race with telepathic abilities lives here. Bardock is ordered to clear this planet to be sold, and easily does so (but not before getting cursed by one of the natives).
OLD VEGETA
Much larger than most planets, Old Vegeta posesses an immense gravity field many times that of the Earth. In the beginning, Old Vegeta was inhabited by two races, the Tsufuru-jin and the Saiya-jins, which were constantly at war. The Tsufuru-jin were an advanced race with hugely superior technology, but compared to the Saiya-jins, they were physically weak. When Old Vegeta's moon went full, the Saiya-jins all went Oozaru and obliterated the Tsufuru-jin. Furiza later hired them as his task force, but destroyed Old Vegeta when he felt the Saiya-jins were becoming a threat to his power. Goku, Vegeta, Nappa, Brolli, Paragas, Taurus and Raditsu were the only Saiya-jins not on Old Vegeta when it was blown to bitsDARK STAR
A lightless, desolate world, it is home of Babidi's minion Yakon. The creatures on this planet are used to the darkness, and use it to their advantage.
A fairly normal world (other than it's color), Planet Meat is wiped of all intelligent life by Bardock's team. It is also here that Dodoria and his men jump Bardock's force and slaughter them.
After the original Namek was destroyed, the Z warriors used the Dragon balls to find the Nameks a new home. New Namek is very much like the first, except it has only one sun. The Big Ghetti Star attaches itself to Namek in movie #6, scarring its face
An enormous living machine, the Big Ghetti Star travels from planet to planet, assimilating anything mechanical and sapping energy from living things. Its power is augmented when it happens upon Koola's remains. The Big Ghetti Star is eventually destroyed by Goku and Vegeta.
One of Furiza's many bases of operation, it is the only one we are shown in the series. The Ginyu Force is stationed here, along with Vegeta. It is not known what happens to this base after King Cold and his sons are killed. | Slug is a villain that gets around in style: He hijacks planets and uses them as huge spaceships. He has his eye on Earth, but is stopped by the Z warriors. His planet-ship is destroyed in the process. |
The Legendary Super Saiyajin wrecks most of his havoc on this galaxy in movie #8, and destroys a number of its systems. New Vegeta is founded here.
Most of movie #8 and the battle with Brolli takes place on this planet. It is founded by Paragas as the "New" planet Vegeta, and its economy is largely based on slaves from the planet Shamo (Not shown in the anime). It is later smashed by a passing comet.MOON OF NEW VEGETA
The moon of New Vegeta, it is the colony of the Shamo race that was enslaved by Paragas. The moon is later destroyed by Brolli in a stray blast.
The Legendary Super Saiyajin destroys a few of the systems here. This galaxy is not mentioned much in the series. The Legendary Super Saiya-jin destroys a few of the systems here. This galaxy is not mentioned much in the series.
