Planet Pictos

Doctor names Planet Pictos as the Menoptra invasion force's landing site to divert Zarbi from Vortis. He claims their main body masses there, prompting insect patrols to redirect and easing captive escape, including Vicki's mind-control release. Barbara and Prapillus aim a failed warning at it, alerting to Zarbi ambush at Isop Plateau and electron gun ineffectiveness. This distant, unseen world fuels deception amid the Vortis war, turning a fabricated threat into tactical advantage.
