Planets Destroyed or Vanished

Introduction

List

• Atheria: The entire planet disappears when the Moon touches it, but since the people of that planet were in fact waiting for that collision, so they could "mutate" into a higher form of being, perhaps the planet went with them. Alphans are the sole known witnesses; it is unknown if other aliens were aware of Atherian expectations.
• Psychon: Severe and rapid environmental decline had started some years before. One of its people, namely Mentor, tried to arrest and reverse that, via Psyche, but when the plan unraveled, Psychon exploded and was destroyed.
• Luton (temporarily) disappears under control of its sentient life.
• New Earth: approached too closely by the Moon, Magus had to use some of his considerable power to hold it together, even while he planned to eventually eject the Moon from the area. However, his plans for four of the Alphans was not well-received by them, and they fought and prevailed over him, to the point he could not hold New Earth (as he called it) together, and it exploded.
• Sunim ("A Matter of Balance"): vanishes underneath two Eagles (Eagle 1 and 2?) after an overloading nuclear generator(?) overloads in a "temple" containing equipment bridging two different dimensions.

Notes

• The planet Triton (not seen -- only its probe) was destroyed some time before. Somehow the Alphans are aware of this.
