This article is about the planet from Voltron: Legendary Defender. For the kingdom from the video game series, Fire Emblem, see Altea (Fire Emblem).
Altea is the home planet of Princess Allura, her father King Alfor, Coran, and the Space Mice. The birthplace of Voltron, it was attacked by Zarkon's Galra Empire 10,000 years ago, with Alfor choosing to hide the Voltron Lions and Allura rather than have Voltron formed to battle their enemy. Sadly, Altea and all the planets in its solar system were utterly destroyed as a result, with only the six residents of the Castle of Lions being known to survive the tragedy. This left the Galra Empire virtually unopposed in its efforts to conquer the galaxy over the course of the subsequent ten millennia, until Allura was awakened by the future Paladins of Voltron.
The planet presumably supports an unknown amount of fauna, as it did have a native species of mice, and another of house cat-sized felines that were suitable as pets. Only four mice and one cat are known to exist, and are presumably the last of their kind.
Following the sacrifice of Princess Allura, Altea returned, and was restored to its former glory, and its new race grew to remember Allura as a hero.
It is based on the planet of the same name from the original cartoon series, Voltron: Defenders of the Universe.
