Peripla is a star ship that debuts in Season 8. It is home to the Periplan Lumens.
Overview
It moves from one galaxy to another, lighting the way for travelling spacecrafts. The captain describes it as a true engine of starlight. It is maintained by a ruby core, which channels the light energy, powering the ship. A group of Lumens circling it controls their speed and direction. They also welcome any spacecraft passing-by.
Society
The Lumens take pride in their jobs, and seem quite friendly to strangers passing by. It does however, appear that they have not previously heard of the concept of music until the events of "Popstars!".
Series
Season 8
In "Popstars!", Obscurum brings Staryummies to Peripla through the vents of the starship as it flies across the Magic Dimension. Valtor is seen communicating with Obscurum about the plan to capture star energy from Peripla through a vision to attain his goals. Obscurum finishes his sentence in a mocking tone, though instantly realizes his mistake, and Valtor's eyes glow as he questions his tone. Obscurum pacifies Valtor before being told to get out of his line of vision, and to ensure the plan follows through successfully.
Back at Alfea's courtyard, a hurried Twinkly arrives, who surprises the Winx with a holomap of the entire Magic Dimension, to let them stay one step ahead of Valtor. The map allows them to see stars currently attacked by Valtor, signified by a red dot on the map. Just then, a moving star glows red, alerting the Winx who proceed to defend the star, led by Twinkly. They land on the glowing spaceship. And Twinkly warns them that they must not scare the Lumens to which Bloom agrees. Musa comes up with an idea to disguise themselves as a band: Popstars!. Twinkly introduces the Winx under this alias, and what they are about to perform. The starship's Lumens have not heard of the concept of music, and Twinkly explains, exciting the captain. Bloom notices the core, and the captain explains how it functions.
The Red Fountain Owl approaches Peripla, which is noticed by the Lumens who acknowledge it as a non-hostile and prepare to welcome it. Sky makes a connection with Peripla's communicators, which is responded to by the captain. Sky introduces themselves as the Specialists, and let them know of a ruby thief who was reported to be within the vicinity of their star, and their lack of familiarity of the area meant that they would be trailing their ship. Bloom then confronts Sky about his secret mission. The captain is concerned by the ruby thief, as it could have devastating consequences on their star. Bloom assures her that the specialists are capable of diffusing the situation. Tecna and Aisha also remind her that they need to keep their eyes peeled for staryummies and Obscurum. All this concerns the crew, though it does not last long as they start their concert, as introduced by Twinkly. Obscurum notices the concert from the vents, and tells the staryummies to be cautious, as the music can force their bodies outside of their will, though noties the staryumies already bouncing to the music, much to Obscurum's dismay, as it could mean exposure. Obscurum gets overwhelmed by the music himself, and decides to follow Valtor's advice to use the situation to his advantage. He forms a plan to have a few staryummies cause havoc on the ship, to lure the Winx away from the core which will be vulnerable to attack. Though the staryummies are confused at first, Obscurum's impatience forces them to leave and follow through. The Winx notice the sounds, and get successfully lured away. They transform to investigate, and Stella notices the staryummies, and captures them. Tecna wonders why they are not at the core, which causes Bloom to figure out the trap.
Obscurum notices that his plan has been successful, and proceeds to attack the Lumens with his Starchomps, commanding them to employ distasteful music, causing the Lumens to flee. The Winx hear this and criticises the music, hurrying towards the star core. The Lumens guarding the core attempt to defend the core, though are driven away by the music, giving the Starchomps an opportunity to absorb the star energy. The starchomps fight each other for the opportunity, but make good progress on draining the star core, causing the ship to stop and run out of light, causing the Specialists' map to no longer reflect Peripla as a star, though it is the least of their concerns as they are nearly sucked in by a black hole. The Winx get to the core, though are too late as the magic had already been drained, though the Winx unleash a flurry of attacks at Obscurum and the Starchomps. Just as they are about to finish off the enemies, Sky contact Peripla and lets them know of their situation, which distracts the Winx long enough for the opponents to flee, much to Obscurum's delight. The Winx focus their attention on reviving the starcore, and the Specilaists redirect power from their weapons and shields to the engines so they can get to the starship. Though risky, they ended up successful, though their ship is in bad condition, and the ruby thief successfully evaded them, who is seen landing on Peripla.
