The story is set A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away... on the planet Elekton, which has twin suns and twin moons (although another "moon", Gallas, falls to the planet in an early story). The Trigans look basically human, although they stand 12 feet tall (in the stories they appear normal since everything else that looks vaguely Earth-like is also twice the as tall); the Trigan race looks Aryan, but there are no black people, apart from the occasional dark-skinned tribe that pops up in a supporting role, generally depicted as primitive but friendly. The main recurring non-white races are green-skinned, ranging from yellowish to turquoise with little consistency between episodes. The Lokans, enemies of the Trigans, are pale olive green, and look like a cross between very ugly black people and Yellow Peril-type orientals. In fact, they were yellow, in the early stories. Daveli are a more turquoise colour, and are very good-looking. Their chief, Imbala, is Trigo's blood brother, and Imbala's son Keren is one of the good guys, usually the only non-white among the good guys.
