The uncharted planet in the LEGO Rock Raiders theme is the location that most of the theme takes place in. The Rock Raiders must mine for power crystals in the caverns of the planet to refuel their spaceship, the LMS Explorer, so that they can return home. In the games it is depicted as being in a distant galaxy, and the Explorer travels through a wormhole to reach it; other media, however, does not include the wormhole travel. The book Race for Survival gives the planet the name Planet U, which has become its accepted name in fan communities.

Planet U?

Much of the visible surface of the planet appears to use images of the surface of Mars as its surface. Most noticeably in the intro FMV, when Jet and Docs are viewing the scanner after Sparks set it to search for power crystals, the scanner zooms in on an area of the planet that shows the western end of the Valles Marineris canyon system, as well as surrounding features including Noctis Labyrinthus and Oudemans crater.
