Solanoids

The Solanoids were inhabitants of the planet Mercury who practiced a Sun-centric religion. The Sun King, leader of the Solanoids, wished to prevent the Sun from one day dying. He decided that all the other planets in the Solar System must be used to refuel the Sun. The Sun King had his scientists create a tractor beam that would pull the other planets out of their orbits and into the Sun. Their plan was foiled by the timely actions of Lance Lewis. The Solanoids possessed the ability to communicate telepathically. They also had force-field generators and plasma cannons. The Solanoids do not have interplanetary ships, since they have no desire to leave the planet so close to the star they worship.
