From Dragon Ball Wiki, the ''Dragon Ball'' encyclopedia

The Planet Namek (Namekusei) is in a trinary star system ^[1] located at coordinates 9045XY, and had a population of about 100 Namekians at the time of the Vegeta Saga^[2] in November of 762 Age. It is the home planet of Kami, King Piccolo, Piccolo Jr., Dende,along with other Namekians.

The planet was destroyed by the wrath of Frieza on December 24th, 762 Age. The Namekian people were relocated to New Namek after being refugees on Earth for roughly a year.

[edit] History

Many centuries ago, a horrible catastrophe wiped out all the Namekians except Guru and a few Powered-Up Namekians who were exiled before. One Namekian, the child of Katas, a gifted child of the Dragon Family, was sent off to Earth as a child to ensure his survival.^[3] Guru was responsible for re-populating the planet, giving birth to over 100 Namekians. Guru's children began re-building the planet, specially the lush vegetation that had been destroyed in the storms.

During the Namek Saga Planet Namek was terrorized by Frieza and his henchmen, Dodoria and Zarbon. The planet was ultimately destroyed by Frieza as a last-ditch effort to kill Goku in their battle during the Frieza Saga, as he was able to survive without oxygen in space.

All Namekians killed by Frieza and his henchmen (which did not include the deaths caused by Vegeta) were brought back to life and transported to Earth. The Namekians lived on Earth for nearly a year before being resettled on New Namek. It is unknown as to why the Dragon Balls were not used to restore the planet after it was destroyed instead.

[edit] Dragon Family

The Dragon Family was a family of Namekians that had the power to create dragonballs. Guru and Katas were members of this clan. Katas' son, the Nameless Namek, was also a member by blood relation. Since only Guru and the Nameless Namek survived the catastrophic climate change that nearly wiped the Namekian race out, that means that all Namekians have the power to create Dragon Balls (since they are all sons of either Guru or the Nameless Namek).

[edit] Trivia

• Namek Has 3 suns, so it is never night time (In the Ocean and Hong Kong Dubs, at least)
