Zordoom Prison

"Zordoom Prison...a dangerous dungeon of death and destruction...a deadly den of devious desperados damaged by decades of dead..."

- Captain Qwark



Zordoom Prison was an infamous prison on planet Viceron and was the most feared location in the Polaris galaxy. It was a prison where anyone who questioned Emperor Tachyon or had anything against him was sent for life. Even going there as a visitor could end up in life imprisonment. Slim Cognito was sent there for committing a crime at a rock concert on Igliak. Ace Hardlight was also imprisoned here, apparently surviving his defeat in Deadlocked.

"Wow. A jail break. You sure know how to impress a girl."

- Talwyn to Ratchet after being rescued.

The Zoni showed Clank a vision of Talwyn Apogee, who was trapped at the prison. Ratchet, believing the Zoni to be imaginary, at first did not believe Clank, but nonetheless flew to Zordoom and found that Clank was shockingly right. To rescue Talwyn, Ratchet infiltrated the prison with help from Captian Qwark, who drew schematics and communicated with Ratchet over a com-link, referring to him by Ratchet's code name, "Dead Meat". Qwark's plan included utilizing the "grindrail of certain death," a grav-ramp, and jumping down an elevator shaft to reach Talwyn's cell. Ratchet and Clank made it all the way to Talwyn's cell in one piece and used the Decryptor to hack open the cell door. Talwyn helped the duo for a portion of the escape until she went to free Cronk and Zephyr from the scrap compress. The three eventually were able to escape the prison safely. After Emperor Tachyon's defeat, the prison was placed under the authority of the new galactic government.

Trivia

 * While it was explained why Slim and Vorselon were in Zordoom Prison, it was never explained why Ace was there. It could have been because he killed so many heroes during his time as an Exterminator on DreadZone.
 * In Quest for Booty, Captain Slag brags that he once won the "Zordoom Prison semi-annual beauty pageant".
