Fhloston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The planet Fhloston is a fictional planet in the sci-fi movie The Fifth Element. It is also known as Fhloston Paradise.
The planet is located in the Angel constellation. Renowned for its beauty throughout the galaxy, the planet is almost completely covered in clear, turquoise water, dotted with some islands and has more than 400 white, sandy beaches. The mid-afternoon temperature is asserted to be around 85° Fahrenheit (30 °C).
Only a limited number of visitors were seemed to be allowed to come to Fhloston. The luxury liner "Fhloston Paradise", run by the same named tour-operator, was an enormous floating space-hotel hovering above the surface in form an enormous, metallic cruise ship. It had 12 swimming-pools, two of them on the rooftop, luxurious suites, an enormous sun deck, a spectacular opera house very similar to the Royal Opera House in London, the most up-to-date escape-pods and an automated bomb detector system. Rooms were completely booked months in advance. In the annual "Gemini Croquette Contest" participants had the chance to win two tickets to Fhloston Paradise, making this lottery a highly-hyped event. The winner also got the chance to be entertained on DJ Ruby Rhod's show on Radio Cosmos, which was broadcast live during the charity ball on Fhloston.
The liner would take off after 17:00 to higher altitudes to give the guests a better view of the planet for their dinner. It hosted the last concert of the Diva Plavalaguna's and was subsequently destroyed by a bomb planted by the Mangalores. A known casualty in that disaster was Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg.
