Locations

There are many Locations in the Hero Factory storyline, ranging from planets and stars to cities and villages. They are all in the Milky Way Galaxy.(Hero Factory FM) For alternate realities, see Alternate Universes.

Nebulae and Solar Systems

Makuhero Asteroid Belt

The Makuhero Asteroid Belt,^[SM3] or simply the Makuhero Belt,^[HFPM] is a planetary nebula in the galaxy. It possesses one star and asteroids with meteoroids with much metal that can disrupt electronic signals,^[SM3] as well as a small asteroid-like planet where Makuhero City and the Hero Factory were founded.

Makuhero Planet

The planet is very much like the planet Earth, but with some differences.^{[Episode 10]}

Makuhero City

Makuhero City

Built around Hero Factory, Makuhero City is a bustling and prosperous city.

Hero Factory

Hero Factory is based in a giant structure of the same name—the Hero Factory. It is one of the most famous buildings in the galaxy, and is instantly recognizable.

Faraday Belt

The Faraday Belt was where Preston Stormer, Jimi Stringer, Dunkan Bulk, William Furno, Natalie Breez, and Mark Surge chased fuel smugglers at one time, two months before Natalie Breez did her first interview with Mak Megahertz in his radio talk show called Hero Factory FM, in his segment called Mak in the Morning. The team survived and completed the mission.

Eto

Mak Megahertz got a letter about his radio talk show, Hero Factory FM, from Crixian from the Eto system.

Omega

The Omega system is located somewhere in the galaxy. It has a planet that houses short, blue humanoid-looking robots. They have antennae attached to the tops of their heads that flash bright light to communicate with people rather than speaking. A Hero has to use a device called a Translator, which has a mechanical voice that speaks, to translate what the people are saying. The people are polite. The planet contains a main city, which has a large bank with a large government vault underneath it, underground, and the main power plant, which is also large. A trio of local officials called We Who Serve manages the bank. Man other people use personal rocket packs to fly above the city's streets.

The bank has security that is designed to keep people from getting in, but not getting out. The security has ultra-sensitive alarms, bars made of what are said to be some of the toughest metals in the universe, and anti-tampering devices on every lock. The plant had two main and large dynamos. There is a Duradium mine in the north of the plant. The mine is in the side of a mountain. Its entrance was closed with a high-density plastic barrier that was not affected by Duradium and was strong enough to keep most intruders out. After the mine was abandoned years ago, there is still Duradium in it, but it is too expensive and difficult for the locals to get the Durandium out. There are also still tools, equipment, fuel cells, and other valuable items scattered around, in the mine. The inside of the mine is so dark that it is pitch-black. The planet makes much more money than one more mining planet.

The first of the three Doom Box fragments was held in the vault.

Seven years ago, Core Hunter had someone disassemble him, pack him in a crate, and get him stored in the vault, making the people confuse him as valuable machine parts. After Core Hunter reassembled himself, he found and stole the piece, and then broke out of the vault. The vault had a small amount of precious gems during the time. Dunkan Bulk visited the city to find Core Hunter. Core Hunter used a power net to trap Bulk in the plant, but Bulk freed himself from the net by slamming right into one of the dynamos to destroy it in order to destroy the net. The destruction of the dynamo probably caused a blackout in half the city. Core Hunter sabotaged the second dynamo by ripping wiring out from its insides, making the dynamo explode in order to distract Bulk. Bulk had everyone in the dynamo, who are workers in there, get out of there, and then he also got out of there right before it exploded. Core Hunter hid the first piece of the Doom Box in the mine and then stole a ship to get out of the planet. Since the robbery, people in the society were embarrassed by it, so they extremely improved their security, as they have an automated security system that shoots bright blue bolts of energy and missiles at visiting space craft, including Drop Ships piloted by Heroes. There are security robots called Sentinel Mechanoids. They are armed with weapons. Six of the robots are patrolling the mine, which they consider their restricted area. They can mentally get information from their home base. Their optic sensors can scan their target beings in a few seconds, and transmit their images and specifications before the security robots can say their response, where they confirm the targets' identities. The people of the city do not care if the visitors that they are attacking are good or bad unless they get clarification.

Recently, Preston Stormer and William Furno went to the planet to find the Doom Box piece there, but the city's people used their new weapons to attack the Heroes when the Heroes arrived at the planet, though the Heroes survived. They went to the mine to try to find the Doom Box, but Core Hunter got away with the piece before they could find it. Core Hunter used artificial dust in the mine to cover his tracks, leading the two Heroes to a trap. During the search, Stormer, who did not ask for official permission to open the barrier because he was on the rush in the mission, used a small metal square device to destroy the mine's barrier like glass, so the Heroes could enter the mine. After the Heroes escaped from the Duradium in the mine while destroying its private property in there, they were confronted by Sentinel Mechanoids, who politely threatened to arrest them for trespassing in the mine and destruction of the private property, as they raised their weapons on the Heroes. Stormer, exhausted and fed up, tried to convince the robots to let them pass because he and Furno were on an important mission, but the robots did not listen, as one of the Sentinel Mechanoids called Sentinel Mechanoid 411 persisted in saying the security robots' warning to the Heroes. Stormer damaged the robot, and then Furno aimed his Plasma Gun at the robots to convince them to let him and Stormer pass. The robots recognized the Heroes and announced to send a formal complaint about damaging unit 411 to the Hero Factory. The robots let the Heroes pass.^[SM1]

The museum has samples of precious metals, which are looked at by Jawblade as the most valuable in the galaxy. It also has large aquariums^[FO:MSG] that contain huge water tanks. One of the aquariums has a tank that contains a Viper Squid. There is a huge pipe connecting the museum that recycles the aquariums' water. The pipe had an iron grille at the end. After the grille, the pipe gets so narrow that either Jawblade or Toxic Reapa would have to travel in a line. The planet also has the largest robot-made river on itself. The river is famous for its warmth and the abundance of fish and plant life. The museum sits right on the river's northern shore.

During the Hero Factory's early days, people from the museum were hosting an exhibition of the precious metals. Jawblade and Toxic Reapa tried to steal the metals, which were not guarded, from the museum by using the pipe to get inside the museum, but they were stopped by Stringer and Bulk. Toxic Reapa was captured by the Heroes while Jawblade got away.

It has a stone underground complex, which is a maze with almost pitch-black tunnels and has central a chamber with a well of flame and a stone pedestal. The Doom Box was created by the villains here 5,000 years ago, and could only be used here when it is reassembled. The complex also has a basement. Deneb carved a map of the Doom Box's pieces' locations on a stone wall. A thousand years ago, treasure hunters rediscovered the chamber and noticed the map, but did not understand the map. One of the explorers discovered what it is, so they used lasers to cut the map out of the wall and took it away, despite not knowing why the map was made. Great geysers of flame erupt from a surface studded with craters and ruined buildings, and the planet is deserted. It is like this because of the second of Arctur's two mistakes, the first being the Doom Box.^[SM1]
• A small criminal desert world without a name in a backwater part of the galaxy. It is hot. It has a year-round population of only a few hundred to a thousand or more robots. The planet is used by criminals who are on the run or in between jobs, and the criminals use the planet to hide, rest, refit, and sell their stolen goods. Here, Geb ran a refueling station for criminals in the heart of a town. A vault in a secret room in the refueling center was where Core Hunter had his duplicate hide the second of the three fragments of the Doom Box. Recently, when Bulk and Breez went looking for the Doom Box piece, Core Hunter had three dozen robotic criminals fight them. During the battle and when Bulk and Breez defeated the criminals, the refueling station got destroyed by the battle.^[SM1]
• An unknown planet where Core Hunter got the third and final piece of the Doom Box from.^[SM1]
• A planet with a ship graveyard somewhere in the center of the galaxy where an old cargo freighter was abandoned in. The freighter had a crew of six robots. A large deaf mechanical creature was contained and was being shipped in a crate in the way back of the ship's central cargo bay while the ship was drifting in space long ago. However, the creature eventually got out of its crate, damaged the room, and shocked the robots to sleep mode. Core Hunter and Stringer fought the creature. Core Hunter hid the third of the fragments of the Doom Box in the cargo bay. After Core Hunter, Stringer, and the creature left the freighter, the robots in there were reawakened, and the freighter was emptied before being placed in the ship graveyard, though the Doom Box piece was still hidden. The ship graveyard is a very bad place for the Heroes to contact Hero Factory from there. Recently, a team of security robots from the company that managed the ship graveyard was guarding it for Stringer and Surge. However, the security robots got deactivated by Core Hunter's mercenaries.^[SM1]
