Planetary Conversion Team

Tallest Red welcoming the Planetary Conversion Team to Blorch

A planetary conversion team is as the name implies a team of Irkens whose job is to convert a recently conquered planet to better serve its designated purpose in its new place in the Irken Empire. It's unknown how many Irkens are part of this team or what one would look like uniform-wise, since they were only briefly seen as Tallest Red mentioned them when both Tallest made the decision to convert Planet Blorch into a parking structure planet during the episode "Battle of the Planets".

However, the team may have made an appearance as early as in the episode "Door to Door", when Zim showed a human residence a virtual reality in which Earth had been enslaved by the Irken Armada in order to terrify the hapless humans into buying his candy bars. The conversion team were seen planting an Irken flag on top of the ruins of the local Skool.

The planetary conversion team's job starts after a planet has succumbed to the Organic Sweep, in which all life forms on the planet are eradicated from the planet's surface.

Facts of Doom

• It’s unknown how long it takes the planetary convention team to transform a planet that was previously owned by the inhabitants the Irkens either conquered or eradicated, but presumably it’s not a long process as it’s possible that millions of Irkens are put to the task as planets such as Blorch, the Conveyor Belt Planet and Vort have been given a single task after they were taken by the Irkens in less than an Earth year.
