Mongo
is a rogue planet that travels through our solar system under the control of its dictator, Emperor Ming (http://flashgordon.wikia.com/wiki/Ming_the_Merciless). Mongo is an inhospitable planet, with various extreme climate zones. Travelers to Mongo must pass through a "Death Zone" on the way, described by scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov (http://flashgordon.wikia.com/wiki/Dr._Hans_Zarkov) as being "a zone devoid of any force".
