Episode

Peoples α is the planet of gangs, thugs, and hustlers, and is controlled by two rival gangs — the blips and the cruds. A lot of ships get stolen there.

In 3013, Planet Express delivered a crate to the blips (7ACV21). The crate contained guns, and was a gift from the cruds, who sent it as a sign of trust, so that, together, the two gangs could rid their streets of the real enemy — giant spiders. However, because Bender had bent the guns, both a group of blips and a group of cruds accidentally shot themselves.

During the delivery, Bender stayed with the ship, to prevent it from being stolen, and some cruds [1] took all of his body parts except for his eyes and his mouth, [2] which they later sold to Yuri.

Peoples α was first seen in a preview clip for broadcast season 10, in February 2013. [3] It was also featured in a promotional picture released by Countdown to Futurama, in May. [4]
