Synnax Synnax is primarily a water planet, where the peaceful inhabitants farm seaweed and algae. The homes and other structures are on stilts and made of natural materials. A replica Stone Age village in Lake Constance, Germany, was used as the birthplace of central character Gaal Dorrick. Other Synnax water sequences, as well as church interiors and exteriors, were shot in Malta, at the massive tanks outside the studio there. Maiden Moon Malta was also an ideal location for Maiden Moon, which is a planet that is mainly sand and salt, with no greenery or foliage. Malta's known history stretches back to 5,900 B.C. It has some great landscapes, as well as ancient structures that the crew was able to dress, in addition to building sets. We were even able to use Malta's 16th century Verdala Palace and its adjacent small forest. Spaceship Deliverance (aka the Slow Ship) Deliverance is an Imperial freighter, analogous in purpose to a 21st century container ship, except that instead of sailing with cargo around the world, it ies its freight around the galay. n the case of Deliverance, we decided that the ship had been cannibalied architecturally when it landed on Terminus, its parts used to make the structures of Terminus City. The carcass of the ship has become a local legend, like a haunted house, for the children of Terminus to explore. A real tomato greenhouse in Iceland was used for the greenhouse scene, bringing in some pieces to link it visually to the studio set. The swimming pool set, as well as various hallways and rooms, was built on a studio sound stage. Raven Raven is a ghost ship orbiting the planet Terminus, waiting for ari Seldons consciousness to be downloaded. A big part of the ship's design is the lighting. wanted aris follower aal to wake up on board the Raven, and, as a result, have her wake up the ship.
