 		Well, I don't know about the exact username/password, but would each sector (1A, 1B, etc...) have a single admin? Or... yeah Very Happy Were any of the id badges we received admins? Because the QR codes decoded related to a server, right?

We don't know the trend yet, but the one example we do have is Arrakis, and the two names were characters from the planet. Most of the badges were for people from Earth, whereas the planets for the sites are otherworldly. But again, there's only one successful example so far, so really it could be any number of things.

 		Arakis was Hero and Villain. Other than that, not a clue.

 		Can someone fill in Arrakis in the overlay (it's B-13)? I don't have any of the appropriate tech.

Where'd you get that MD5 checksum?
Just wondering, cause I'm getting either:

 		Dude, not gonna lie, I have no idea what any of the computer stuff means, I just used the first website that came up for me on Google: http://www.paulschou.com/tools/xlate/.

Hmm... that's weird. Something must have happened in the decoding process on that site, there's a leading line before the binary on the input that gives back your result.
It wouldn't appear in any other outputs (text, base64, hex, or dec), but it would affect the MD5.
Oh well.

ETA:And for some reason, that MD5 only appears on that site, I can't replicate it on my computer.

That's definitely why I didn't catch it, then. Glad you did, though.

Yeah. You might want to update your answer post to reflect it though.

 		So if the Username and Password were Hero/Villain from the planet for Arrakis, can we safely assume that it might be the same for the others?

I so want to try, but I don't want to stumble upon something when we shouldn't, you know?

Either way, we should probably start gathering info about the other planets.

 		When I found the login for arrakis, the hero/villain was the first thing that hit me as well. The only problem I see so far in guessing the credentials is that we have several groups of planets that all come from the same movie/series. Not a problem if the servers share a login, but tougher if there is a unique login for each.

Oh, and add to that that some of the characters only go by one name...

 		Well.... hmm..... We can always try a general, for those that match movies. If it doesn't work on all, then we can start analyzing whether or not there is a more specific hero/villain pair for that planet's part in the movie/series.

Like, if actor A was the main hero of Movie X, but Actor B actually saved the day while they were on Planet Y, which kept Actor A alive to be the hero of the movie, then technically Actor B is the hero on Planet Y. Did that make sense outside of my head?
