Omicron Persei 8
Planet Information
Location	1000 light years from Earth
Native species	Omicronians
First appearance	"When Aliens Attack"

Omicron Persei 8 is a planet inhabited by large aliens that frequently attempt to invade Earth. The Omicronians are ruled by Emperor Lrrr. The planet orbits the star Omicron Persei, which is about 100 light years from Earth; this convenient coincidence allows the Omicronians in the 31st century to view 21st century television broadcasts (like Single Female Lawyer and Super Bowl XLIV).

Trivia

• The planet's name is based on Omicron Persei, which is an actual star in the constellation Perseus.
• Seemingly, most males on the planet have three r's in their name, which is related to their position, e.g. Lrrr (leader) Jrrr (junior) and Drrr (doctor).
• The star system of Omicron Persei appears in the game Battlestar Galactica Online

Invasions

Omicron Persei 8 has invaded Earth many times over various cultural misunderstandings and/or other reasons. These reasons include their children being renamed "Popplers" and sold in fast food stores, and when they did not understand what "Wuv" meant after reading it on a candy which they did not like the taste of. They've also attempted to "harvest" Fry's "lower horn" after Bender told them that the nose is not a private area of the human body. They also demanded an ending to an episode of Single Female Lawyer which was aired in 1999 but due to how far away the planet was, it did not reach the planet until 3000. The episode was cut short after Fry knocked a beer can over the control board of the Fox Network, hence sending it off the air.
