Foodcourtia serves as a breadbasket world for the many alien races conquered by the Irken Empire.

DescriptionEdit

Foodcourtia is one of many planets under the control of the Irken Empire. It is likely that Foodcourtia is the name given to the planet by the Irkens rather than its original title. In the tradition of Irken efficiency, the planet was assigned a very specific purpose; in this case, to serve as an intergalactic food court. Alien species from all over the universe come to feast upon the varieties and quantities of snacks and fast foods offered there, including The Resisty. The Irkens, especially the two Irken leaders, the Almighty Tallest, have a great love of food, which is probably why they made Foodcourtia a snacking planet. When viewed from space, the purple world looks like a gas giant, and has no visible moons.

Relevance to the series Edit

Foodcourtia is actually a major part of Zim's past prior to the point in time where the series starts and is referred to throughout the series, and is even re-visited in The Frycook What Came from All That Space.

In that episode, the viewer can see footage of Zim prior to the The Nightmare Begins; he has been banished to the snacking world as punishment for rampaging across Irk in a robotic assault walker and destroying Operation Impending Doom I and almost all of Irken civilization. Consequently, his PAK was re-encoded from Invader status to Food Service Drone, and was forced to serve in Sizz-Lorr's restaurant, Shloogorgh's Flavor Monster, without pay or leave. Additionally, Sizz-Lorr made it his mission to give Zim every humiliating task he could think of, and the Irken was forced to endure abuse by customers to boot. Zim, nevertheless, thought this was a vacation and simply left - or as he considers it, he "quit".
