Queen Fems' planet was an otherwise unnamed fictional planet appearing in literature of the 20th century Earth science fiction series The Adventures of Captain Proton.
Fictional history and specifics[]
This planet was inhabited by interrelated humanoid Nanoid males and Giant Women, as well as a race of sapient arachnoid trundle spiders. The world appeared green and yellow from orbit. Most of the planet was covered by mammoth trees a few hundred feet thick and 20 stories tall.
In the year 2000, Queen Fems' soldiers kidnapped Constance Goodheart on Luna and brought her through an Interspacial Cross-Galactic Door to their homeworld. Captain Proton and Buster Kincaid tracked the portal to its source, a golden palace on a cliff atop a lush forest, and landed their rocket ship a few miles away. They entered through underground caverns, fighting Fems' soldiers and a horde of Nanoids. Captured, the heroes were placed in an arena to be eaten by Phred, but instead they allied with the trundle spider and were able to escape with Goodheart.
Later, Proton and Kincaid returned after Goodheart was again kidnapped by Fems. This time, however, they were captured by enormous dorcon birds and dropped into a nest atop one of the huge trees. The heroes were able to scamper partway down, and discovered that Nanoid homes were built within the trees' hollow interiors. An underground network of caverns formed by tree roots contained glass baubles — within each jewel, one could see a soul of one of the galaxy's children.
