Multiple Dimensions

Defenders of the Earth fan fiction features multiple dimensions, each with its own Earth and its own versions of the protagonists. In short, when a writer creates an isolated tale which chronicles anything that did not occur on the TV series, they're creating another dimension.

Most of these worlds have history identical to that of the TV show, or similar to it: the Defenders oppose Ming the Merciless and ultimately counter one of his most ambitious plans, after which different events occur on each planet.

Additionally, the official and licensed DoE works are recognized as taking place on their own Earths, separate from those in fan fiction. Most fan-created worlds were spawned from Earth E, the planet depicted in the TV series.

The tale Defenders of the Earth: This Is Their Side Story revealed that travel between the dimensions was possible, allowing characters from different continuities to interact.

--------

Dimension A

  

The Earth of Dimension A is targeted by Ming the Merciless, a blue-skinned tyrannical ruler of the withering planet Mongo, who seeks to conquer a new world. Earth is protected by a team known as the Defenders of the Earth — Flash Gordon and his mystical daughter Jedda, Phantom and his son Kit, the strongman Lothar and his son LJ, and Mandrake the Magician, who has adopted a boy named Kshin. 

Earth A features characters resembling those from the unaired television pilot for Defenders of the Earth.

--------

Dimension B 

The setting of This Is Their Side Story. Earth B is defended by a team who differ from the unit on Earth A. In this dimension, Flash has a son named Rick, and Phantom has a daughter named Jedda. Unlike Jedda Gordon of Earth A, whose first known power is telekinesis, Jedda Walker possesses telepathic abilities. Earth B is possibly a magical copy of Earth Z, which spawned from Earth E, as it is home to people almost identical to those from Defenders of the Earth: This Is Their Story, along with others.

 --------

Dimension C

Introduced in the This Is Their Side Story chapter "Assembly," Earth C is defended by a group which includes Kurt Walker, who attempts to guide his sassy telepathic daughter Jedda, along with his nephew Kit. The team also includes Kristina Graf, Lothar, and Lothar's son LJ.

The Jedda on this world is modeled after an alternate design from the TV series, which appeared on the show due to creative changes and varying art styles. 

--------

Dimension D

Earth D is the world presented in Dynasties. As with other worlds, it has the same history as Earth E, but events move into a unique direction. Flash has a son named Rick and Phantom has a daughter named Jedda. Once the Defenders have seemingly thwarted all of Ming's schemes, Jedda leaves the team during a period of peace. Soon afterward, several new adventures begin.

--------

Dimension E

Earth E is the planet presented in the television series Defenders of the Earth. During its last recorded event, the Defenders countered Ming's effort to create an army of dinosaurs, supposedly ensuring the world's safety from him from that point onward. Most other Earths retain the history of Earth E and feature alternate futures.

--------

The setting of Defenders of the Earth: 1938.

The Defenders find themselves stranded temporarily on a world called Arus, where they help the Voltron Force — pilots of the mighty battle machine Voltron — repel invasions from planets Doom and Mongo amid a number of personal matters. 

--------

--------
