Civilization

^{[console game]}

^{[console game]}

In the game,^{Disputed canon} there is a civilization in the sun. They apparently have developed heat proof buildings, as well as the abilities to swim in lava, and shoot fire balls. There was a city on the sun ruled by Ra-Ra the Sun King. Ra-Ra nearly lost his leadership when a being claiming to be the Sun God tried to overthrow him and seize control of the star. It is most likely that all life on the Sun have died, as the Temple was destroyed.

While the Sun appears to be inhabitable, conditions upon which humans can coexist appear to differ, at one point a version of The Real World was shot there, however one of the contestants, could be heard screaming that he's burning to death. In the game Fry, Leela, and Bender could exist. However, on a later trip, they needed devices to allow them safe passage.

Inhabitants

• Sun God Impostor
• The Human Sun
• The Son of the Sun
• Mystic aldermen of the sun
