Klovia
Klovia is an
Earth-like world in
Lundmark's Nebula, the Second
Galaxy in
E. E. Smith's
Lensman series. After the native, near-
human inhabitants go through a horrific
world war, the
Galactic Patrol arrives and decides to use Klovia as its base of operations in the Second
Galaxy. A new base called
Ultra Prime is established and colonists begin arriving to supplement the native
population.
Klovia is the site of only one recorded battle between
Civilisation and
Boskonia, it's ancient rival, when the Boskonian Grand Fleet attacks. However the use of the
Sunbeam destroys most of the Boskonian fleet - but leads to a dogfight taking up a full sixth of the Klovian
solar system as Boskonian command and control breaks down. The
Galactic Patrol wins however, and the threat of the Boskonian Grand Fleet to both Klovia and
Civilisation is ended.
With Klovia safe, it later witnesses the marriage of
Kimball Kinnison and
Clarissa MacDougal and their future children (Karen, Kathryn, Constance, Camilla and Christopher Kinnison), and is also the headquarters for the
Galactic Co-Ordinator of the Second Galaxy (Kimball Kinnison until "
Children of the Lens").
