Sakaar

"I've spent years, in a haze, trying to forget my past. Sakaar seemed like the best place to drink, and to forget, and to die. One day."

- Valkyrie

Sakaar is an artificial planet created by the Grandmaster. It is the homeworld of the Sakaarans and many other species stranded on the planet from different part of the cosmos.

Creation
The planet was created by the eternal being known as the Grandmaster thousands of years ago. He has used his resources ,strategies and tactics in order to unify the Sakaarans and many other species which were living on the planet, which was once a dump with wormholes.

The Grandmaster later developed the planet into one large planet filled with buildings, cities and more including a gladiatorial arena which would amuse the citizens of Sakaar with cruel gladiatorial games as part of the annual event known as the Contest of Champions.

Once that the Hulk arrived after defeating Ultron, he became a powerful gladiator and a beloved figure among the people of Sakaar by winning almost all the times in the contest.

The Grandmaster ,now the tyrannical ruler of Sakaar, became more and more fasciniated with the contest and the Hulk, as part of his strange obsession of manipulating life forms into fighting each other to the death much as his brother ,the Collector.

Escaping Sakaar
"So, Sakaar and Asgard are about as far apart as any two systems. Our best bet's the one right outside city limits. We can land in Xandar, and we should be back in Asgard in about... eighteen months?"
