Oldato

Oldato is a fictional planet located in the Cygnus X-1 system, as depicted in the science fiction novel "The Last Starfighter" and its associated media. It is known as the homeworld of the green-skinned, reptilian alien species called the Ko-Dan. The Ko-Dan are a technologically advanced race with a hierarchical society, and Oldato serves as the administrative and cultural center for their empire.

The planet itself is characterized by a harsh, arid climate and a landscape dominated by rocky deserts and vast canyons. The Ko-Dan have adapted to these challenging conditions, constructing their cities underground or within massive, fortified structures designed to withstand the planet's extreme temperatures and frequent sandstorms. Oldato's atmosphere is thin and possesses a reddish hue, contributing to the planet's desolate appearance.

Historically, Oldato has been the staging ground for Ko-Dan military operations. Their empire, often portrayed as expansionist and aggressive, utilizes Oldato as a base for its vast fleet of starships. The Ko-Dan are a formidable enemy in "The Last Starfighter," driven by a desire to conquer and enslave other species, and their homeworld, Oldato, reflects this martial and resilient nature. The planet's strategic importance within their empire is significant, housing their leadership and military command.
