The Polaris Galaxy is a star system consisting of four sectors and 18 planets. It was first introduced in Tools of Destruction, where the majority of the galaxy was controlled by Tachyon. It also hosted the great war, between the Lombaxes and the Cragmites. The resulting battle caused both races to nearly become extinct, but seems to have recovered for the most part, except for Fastoon, which is still in ruins. The galaxy also experienced problems with space pirates, with Captain Slag running many illicit activities.
Ratchet comes here in an esacape pod so he has to find a new ship to get off the planet. It is here where they find the Lombax engineered fighter, Aphelion who tells them a bit more about the fate of the Lombaxes
Planet Mukow
Mukow is a stormy aquatic planet in the Cerullean Sector. It was home to Emperor Percival Tachyon's Imperial Fight Festival, an exclusive battle resort for Tachyon's most elite Drophyd
troopers. Tachyon used the Fight Festival as a means to both entertain
his troops, to capture his enemies or lure them into fighting to their
deaths. At such an occasion, Tachyon put the Holo Pirate Disguise as a prize in the Festival in hopes of luring Captain Slag there to his doom.
Surrounding the gladiator arena of the Fight Festival was a large carnival park. The carnival park featured things such as a large and deathly ferris wheel and Emperor Tachyon's Trail of Turning Terror. The area near the entrance to the arena was heavily guarded by non-vacationing Drophyd troops and Enforcers.
Nundac Asteroid Ring
The Nundac Asteroid Ring is the location to Apogee Space Station where Ratchet and Clank meet Talwyn, Cronk, and Zephyr. This was also the place where the Zoni give Clank the Geo-Laser Gadget. This area is also a Basilisk breeding ground and has a good source of raritanium and some small gel
sources. The asteroids in the ring are all named after the Greek
alphabet. The Smuggler is here and he will trade you bolts for killing
basilisks.
Planet Ardolis
Ardolis is a water filled planet with some cliffs sticking out from the seas and the planet and was home to the pirate base. On this planet, Ratchet and Clank attempted to explore the base in hope to find the Lombax secret.
They find a mysterious Lombax artifact that only Ratchet can activate. However, this turned out to not be Lombax secret, instead it is a map to another planet. which only turned out to be coordinates to another planet. Ratchet and Clank first met Captain Slag and his right-hand man Rusty Pete on Ardolis.
When the heroes found the door for any Lombax return, they found a movie tape that told that the Lombax Secret was a gadget called the Dimensionator.
The Lombax race once had a Testing Facility for all their latest weapons and gadgets, the most notable being the Dimensionator.
Kreeli Comet
The Kreeli Comet is a comet and the location to the IRIS Supercomputer but was taken over by Captain Slag and his Robot Pirates. It is an icy comet, with caves and caverns.
The IRIS Supercomputer is the most ancient and powerful computer in the galaxy. Who created it and why has been long forgotten, but IRIS continues to be used as a form of intergalactic encyclopaedia and oracle. Some believe that the sheer computing power and massive storage of this supercomputer give the eerie ability to predict the future. The computer has been stolen by space pirates so you have to fight and sneak your way through the comet to access the computer.
The planet itself is very dark with murky waters and dark brown rocks. There wasn't alot of vegetation and it seemed uninhabited, besides the prisoners and imperials. The majority of the area was water with tall rocks coming out, where the Zordoom prison was built on that was large enough to be seen from orbit.
Planet Jasindu
Planet Jasindu in Praxus Sector was a jungle planet that was the home of the Kerchu species, with Kerchu City
on the planet being the capital of the Kerchu domain. GrummelNet's
Intergalactic travel guide considered Jasindu the worst vacation spot
in the Polaris galaxy due to the Kerchu's habit of killing any
outsiders who wandered into their building sites. The planet was rich
with Gelatonium, and the Kerchu have several underground Gelatonium
plants near Kerchu City.
After finding the Dimensionator on Rykan V, Max Apogee relocated it in Kerchu City to keep it away from Captain Slag. What happened to Max was unknown, but the Kerchu of Kerchu City were later guarding the Dimensionator.
The planet itself was very dark and creepy looking. The "water" was green in color, and most of the plants and soil was black (making it look very dark and burnt from orbit).
Planet Igilak

The Polaris Galaxy is a galaxy featured in the Ratchet and Clank franchise. It has been included in Tools of Destruction and its sequels.

Tachyons Gelatonium plant
Planet Cobalia
Cobalia also known as the "Gel Capital of the Polaris galaxy", is a swamp planet best known for being the Polaris Galaxy's richest source of Gelatonium, the most commonly used spacecraft fuel in the galaxy. GrummelNet's famous Confuzzler Gas was dervired from the seeds of the Cobalian Worm Plant. Basilisk Leviathans are commonly found in caves and jungles on Cobalia.When Emperor Percival Tachyon took over Cobalia, he gained control over the largest source of Gelatonium in the galaxy, making the rest of the galaxy dependent on Tachyon's rationing of Gelatonium fuel for all interstellar travel.

Stratus City
Planet Kortog
Kortog is home to Stratus City which is a city that was suspended high above the planet. It is a part of Tachyon's empire and used to be the Educational District of the Polaris Galaxy before Tachyon invaded. You will get a new gadget called Robo-Wings on this planet. The city is full of robo-wing launchers that the player could fly anywhere in the city and explore.Its famed hall of knoledge is said to hold the secrets of the Great War and the history of both the Lombaxes and Cragmites. However, the hall of knoledge has been strictly off limits after Tachyon conquered the city.This was where Ratchet and Clank discover a Lombax planet called Fastoon. The otherwise reddish color was probably let off by the number of red coloured architechture throughout the planet, along with amount of red-coloured gases seen throughout the cities.

The lava Refineris
Planet Rykan V
This volcanic wastleland was site of Lombax activity in previous years. This is why Tachyon took over this planet to search for Lombax tech. The lava refineries of Rykan V are the source of the metals used in most advanced weapons and armor in the galaxy. After retrieving the artifact from the planet Ardolis, it showed the Rykan V globe hologram where Ratchet, Clank, and their new allies Talwyn, Cronk and Zephyr could find the Lombax Secret. .When the heroes found the door for any Lombax return, they found a movie tape that told that the Lombax Secret was a gadget called the Dimensionator.

There are dinosaurs on Sargasso
Planet Sargasso
Planet Sargasso is a dangerous and mostly uninhabitable primordial swampland. The planet was infested with large, deadly creatures who would quickly make a snack out of any unwary Lombax explorer. The only advanced race known to travel to the planet were the fiercely territorial Kerchu. Being advanced architects, they had built Gelatonium Derricks, refineries, and gel plants to take advantage of the large amounts accessable, plus the fact that the planet was not yet under Imperial control.The Lombax race once had a Testing Facility for all their latest weapons and gadgets, the most notable being the Dimensionator.

Planet Igilak
Igliak is a planet in the Praxus Sector of Polaris, orbiting a radioactive sun and was the home of Meridian City, the capital of Free Polaris. Meridian City is probably the largest city of the galaxy as well, well comparable with Metropolis of the Solana galaxy and Megapolis of the Bogon galaxy.
During the Great War of Polaris, the warbot Zephyr was stationed in the Zenith Outpost in Meridian City. Later, during the perilous Phylax intrusion, he was joined by another warbot named Cronk, who later became his lifetime partner. The two were later sent on a mission to secure a Gelatonium Refinery on the planet to be able to transport fuel to the Meridian Armory. The refinery was infested by undead zombie dung dragons created by Igliak's radioactive sun.

The bay of Hoolefar island
Merdegraw
a tropical planet in the Drogol Sector of the Polaris galaxy. It was unregulated by both Tachyon's Cragmite Empire and Free Polaris because of the thriving pirate activity on it. The planet was home to the locations: Hoolefar Island, Morrow Caverns and Darkwater Cove. The enormous ocean separating all these areas was called the Azorean Sea.The primary sentient species of Merdegraw were purple, reptilian beings known as Hoolefoids. The caves of Merdegraw are also inhabited by Heliogrubs, small creatures that glow in the dark when they are afraid, and more notoriously, Pythors, large, fire-spitting monsters resembling the Basilisk Leviathan.
