Assayon

Assayon is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Last Starfighter". In the novel, Assayon is depicted as a homeworld of the Valerians, a technologically advanced alien race. The Valerians are known for their prowess in space combat and their participation in the "Star League," a galactic alliance.

The planet Assayon itself is described as having a harsh, desert-like environment with a binary sun system. This extreme climate has shaped the Valerians' physiology and culture, making them resilient and resourceful. The novel portrays Assayon as a significant strategic location within the Star League's territory, often a point of contention in intergalactic conflicts.

The Valerian society on Assayon is hierarchical and militaristic, with a strong emphasis on honor and duty. Their cities are often depicted as subterranean or heavily fortified to withstand the planet's environmental challenges and potential attacks. The technology of Assayon is far beyond human capabilities, particularly in areas of spacecraft design and energy weaponry. The planet serves as a backdrop for the epic space battles and political intrigue that drive the narrative of "The Last Starfighter."
