They were notable for having a gender schism, resulting in two separate societies: the Brotherhood of Badoon (ruled by a Brother Royal) and the Sisterhood of Badoon (ruled by a Queen).[2]

The Brotherhood lived on the planet Moord,[3], while the Sisterhood resided on the Badoon homeworld of Lotiara[2] (Capella System),[4] also known as 'Swampworld'), 42.2 light years from Earth. The planet Sqazzl was in Badoon space.[5]



Among the Brotherhood's attempted conquests were the Zen-Whoberis and the extra-dimensional world of Polemachus.[6] They were known to form alliances with the Brood[7] and the Kree.[8] At the time of the Annihilation Wave, the Badoon controlled 37.7% of the Milky Way galaxy.[9]

Badoon Society
