List of Lensman planets

The fictional universe of the Lensman series by E. E. "Doc" Smith features many planets and regions. The series was a runner-up for the 1966 Hugo Award for Best All-Time Series, losing to the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov. ^[1] As such, it is of value to list the intergalactic settings,^{[ according to whom? ]} as it was one of the first space operas written.

Lensman planets and regions

The following table lists names of planets and regions from the Lensman series, ^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]} along with the first page in each novel that has activity on it, or, if no action on it, then the first mention of it.
