Tomath

Tomath is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Last Starfighter". In the story, Tomath is a world inhabited by a species known as the Ko-Dan. The Ko-Dan are a warlike race who have developed advanced technology, including formidable spacecraft. They are depicted as antagonists, initiating an invasion of the Frontier Worlds.

The planet Tomath itself is described as having a harsh and desolate environment, perhaps contributing to the aggressive nature of its inhabitants.

In the context of the novel and film, the fate of Tomath is tied to the outcome of the war. The protagonist, Alex Rogan, and his Starfighter crew must defend the Frontier Worlds and ultimately confront the Ko-Dan on their home territory. The significance of Tomath lies in its role as the seat of power for the Ko-Dan Empire, making its defeat crucial to achieving peace in the galaxy. The planet and its inhabitants represent a significant threat that the heroes must overcome.
