Description
Inspired by EvanVizuett and sheepman5003In Nintendo's Star Fox, The Lylat System is a star system consisting of the large blue-giant star called Lylat, nebulae space zones, and several planets, with most of them having habitable life zones that make up the populations of Lylat. The most habitable planet in the system is Corneria, the fourth planet and "mother" world of Lylat. The inhabitants of Corneria have since expanded and colonized most of the system, establishing industrial zones and military bases on several of the less-habitable planets. I remember based on the 1993 video game series.
Planets of the Lylat system.
Lylat: A Blue Giant Star, is which means this, “Lylat Datalink; One cool hot spot pg 75
With a surface temperature in excess of 3,500 degrees Kelvin, Solar is the undisputed hot spot in the Lylat System. When measured against other stars in the system, however, Solar looks downright frigid. Solar is a red M-Class dwarf, one of the coldest stars in the universe. In contrast, Solar's antithesis, a B-Class blue star, has a searing temperature of 25,000 degrees Kelvin and a life expectancy of a couple billion years. Luckily, M-Class stars burn the slowest and last the longest. Scentists predict that Solar will keep shining in the Lylat System for 100 billion years or more.”
Macbeth: A Mining planet is a mineral-rich factory world. It is closer to the sun than any other planet in the system, and it served as the main industrial center for Venom during the Lylat Wars, supposedly because of its proximity to the toxic planet. It has been largely industrialized, with miners flocking to the planet. Allegedly hollow after a geological event shrunk its core, Macbeth is still able to support life and is well known for containing a wealth of minerals. Home to a large population of miners, engineers, and scientists, travel to and from this planet occurs more often than any other, and it is a seemingly endless source of supplies, although conditions on it can be harsh at times. It has an advanced railway system.
Zoness: A Green Ocean planet, is one of two oceanic worlds of the Lylat System, the other being Aquas, although unlike Aquas, it has many islands that break the water's surface. It is implied in Star Fox 64 that this world may have been the homeworld of ace pilot and member of Star Fox , Falco Lombardi , as he is disgusted by what Andross has done to it - a sharp contrast to his usual cool demeanor. Nearly covered with ocean, small groups of islands and Cornerian-made bases are the only ground that breaks above the crashing waves of Zoness. The planet is near the stars of Lylat, so it is tropical in nature. Zoness was home to a wide array of aquatic animals, including the dragon-like Todora, Troika fish, and Z-Gulls. A favored dish of many seaside restaurants were Kani. Zoness was the second most-visited planet in the Lylat System at one point, Corneria being the first.
Katina: A arid planet which means, home to a garrison of Cornerian Army fighter squadrons and serving as the Army's front line defense post. Despite containing far less water than Corneria , Katina shares a similar climate and environment to its sister planet. It also has a large amount of vegetation, although the plants vary widely from those found on Corneria, some even resembling giant mushrooms, and during the day the sky has a green hue. The planet came under full-scale attack by Andross during the Lylat Wars, but had recovered by the time of the Aparoid invasion, with outposts being built all over the planet and the planned immigration having started to take place. Unlike the majority of planets in the Lylat System, Katina is covered by more land than water. Despite this, several small inland seas can be found on the planet, covering around 8% of the surface. Some of these seas are large and contain islands big enough to house naval forces. Around these seas are large areas of grasslands and savannas. In recent years of the Star Fox universe several cities have sprung up around the military outposts in these prairies, but as of Star Fox: Assault they still remain comparatively small to the cities found on other planets. As water resources become scarcer further inland, the planet's climate becomes markedly more arid. In the desert regions where green plants fail to grow, large fungi-like organisms are the most common form of life. In the vast regions furthest inland are large wastelands devoid of any kind plant life. Although several highlands, hills, and large plateaus dot the surface, there appear to be little to no mountain ranges on the planet. From space, the planet appears to have a rusty brown appearance. A small set of planetary rings can be seen from the surface in Star Fox: Assault , but these have yet to be seen in any other game. It is unconfirmed whether Katina has any moons. Katina was currently under the process of forming a permanent colony on its surface during the invasion of the Lylat System by Andross , which put a temporary hold on those plans for a while. Katina is one of the most heavily militarized planets in the Lylat System. Numerous outposts housing legions of fighter squadrons and ground forces can be found almost anywhere on the planet. Among them are the famous Bulldog and Husky Squadrons, led by Bill Grey .
Corneria: A Terrestrial planet, and essentially the Lylat "mother" planet as it is the homeworld of many characters, especially the local Cornerians. It is a terrestrial farming world with a variety of climates and terrains, more than the vast majority of planets in the Lylat System. Many of the inhabitants live in the shelter of the mountain ranges, where very productive farming soil can be found. Corneria is currently home to an estimated 85% of the total sentient population of the Lylat system but, due to careful planning, remains a verdant garden world. Its cities and industry were built while keeping in harmony with nature, allowing its rich ecosystem to flourish. It is implied from Star Fox Assault that some military bases might be Cornerian-made islands. Roads on Corneria seem to be built above the ground as to allow the plant life to thrive, and from space the planet looks to have a large amount of cloud cover and oceans. It is the center of culture and government of the Lylat system, and is a prime target for those seeking conquest over the galaxy.
Sauria (formerly known as Dinosaur Planet): A Earth-like planet, inhabited by multiple tribes of many dinosaurs. The climate is as varied as that of Corneria and Earth, with lush green forests, traversable volcanoes, snowy mountains and purple dusted mountains. The native language of this planet is known as Dino , but those that are gifted in telepathy or possess translator devices will understand the language with ease. A number of different locations on the planet include places like Krazoa Palace, Walled City, ThornTail Hollow and CloudRunner Fortress. The planet has two ruling tribes which are the EarthWalkers and the CloudRunners , but they "do not see eye to eye", as stated by the Queen CloudRunner.
Aquas: A Ocean planet, is one of two oceanic worlds of the Lylat System, sharing its characteristics with Zoness. Unlike Zoness, Aquas is mostly completely covered by ocean. The site of an ancient civilization, the planet became an unexpected battlefield during the Lylat Wars. Almost the entire surface of Aquas is covered with water, and abounds with a diverse range of aquatic life. Though generally harmless, some of Aquas' aquatic lifeforms can be extremely deadly, even to modern submersible vehicles. Ruins similar to those found on Titania point towards an ancient civilization that no longer exists, tangibly similar to the Anglars. The Ancient Civilization had originally ruled above the waves, where it built temples as well as harvesting aquatic life on Aquas. However, a monster underneath the waves, Bacoon, became jealous of the civilization's prosperity, and when it grew more powerful, it eventually learned to control the aquatic lifeforms. Bacoon then used this new found ability to command thousands of explosive starfish to migrate to the polar ice caps and explode, melting the polar caps and flooding the entire planet, thus ending the civilization.
Fortuna: A Earth-like planet, It is a hot and humid rainforest planet teeming with plant life and a series of bases and hideouts presumably built by Androssians. It is called the Dinosaur Planet in the original "Star Fox", but is not to be confused with Sauria , which was also called "Dinosaur Planet" in "Star Fox Adventures ". Not much information is known about Fortuna, due to the fact that it has not made much of an appearance. It is a green, thriving planet with huge plants and vegetation of all kinds, as well as rivers and lakes on the surface, although it is unknown how much of this planet is covered by water and inhabited by giant insects. It can be assumed that something about the planet is hostile, as otherwise it would seem to be the Cornerian Army 's first choice for colonization instead of Katina . It could also be assumed that the planet is a bit further out from the core Lylat system, as it has yet to appear on any maps other than the original Star Fox (Interestingly, this is shown to be the opposite in the map from Star fox 2 as Fortuna is clearly seen pretty close to Corneria). This is further supported by the Star Fox Team apparently using a wormhole to arrive at Fortuna to aid the Cornerian Army. It could be speculated that the planet is not inhabited by Cornerians, as a base was built there by the Venomian Army .
Papetoon: A Terrestrial planet, is a planet at a distant corner of the Lylat System . According to the Japanese manual and introduction for Star Fox 64 , it was the home of Fox McCloud , and where Peppy Hare flew after Pigma Dengar 's betrayal to tell him what happened to his father, James . It was not mentioned in any English Star Fox games until one of the endings for Star Fox Command . It may have been ignored by enemy forces either because it was too isolated, or it may be too small to bother invading. In Star Fox Command 's "The Curse of Pigma" ending, Fox invites Falco for a quiet drink on Papetoon, where he claims that it's "on the very edge of everything". The ending also gives a possibility of Papetoon's position on the Lylat map, judging by the Great Fox's flight path, the planet is located somewhere in the direction of Venom , Titania and Sector X . It first appeared in early supplemental Star Fox materials such as the Star Fox comic and the Star Fox Mission File Printout , where it is depicted as a mostly dry and rocky frontier world. In this version, it was the "den" of a small group of bandits led by Fox that only stole from the Imperial Guard in the name of the oppressed. General Pepper approached the team since he recognized their invaluable skills and asked them to fly his experimental Arwings against Andross . Fox agreed due to the past with his father , and his rogues would become the esteemed Star Fox team .
Titania: A Barren Desert planet with planetary ringed system, It is a vast, barren desert world, though ruins on its surface hint that life thrived on it. The planet's atmosphere is composed of black clouds and red dust blown by the ion storms that buffet its surface. Various cactus plants are Titania's only visible sign of life. The planet Titania has made an appearance in all games with the exception of Adventures, with Main Game Missions taking place on the planet in the 1993 game, Star Fox 64 and the setting of four Missions in Command, which play an important role in four of the game's different endings depending on the route, and in Zero, Titania's Mission largely repeats the incident of the N64 game. Titania appears in the background of the Main Game in Assault, and also has an unlockable stage for the Versus Mode. The Lylat Wars Comic depicts an abridged adaptation of the incident of the rescue Mission that occurred on Titania in Star Fox 64, while the planet serves as the main setting for the Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco manga. Titania is known as the "Red Planet" due to massive ion storms that stir up red dust from the planet's surface and deposit it into the stratosphere. Archaeologists have discovered a large number of ancient ruins on Titania, pointing to an ancient civilization that once inhabited the planet. The only survivor of this lost civilization is a creature code-named "Goras", believed to be an advanced planetary defense system, which Andross would later turn into one of his weapons. Due to Titania's hostile nature, travel to the planet is usually restricted to researchers alone. After the same name of "Titania", it is a 4th moon of Uranus of the Earth's Solar System.
Fichina: A Ice planet, is an icy world of the Lylat System and considered a tertiary homeworld of the Cornerians, as scientists initially planned to terraform the planet into an inhabitable world for them. To aid this plan, at least one Cornerian Army outpost was built for containing top secret information, and a special scientific center built to control the planetary climate, eventually leading to one city being built. Regardless of the Cornerian plan for colonising Fichina, the planet was the site of a number of battles during the Lylat Wars and later conflicts. The cold, snow-swept world of Fichina is completely devoid of vegetation except for a small number of trees. Despite this, Cornerian scientists believe the planet is an ideal candidate for terraforming because of the world's large amounts of frozen water. There are hopes that it could become a garden world much like Corneria, although this would take much time, and as of "Star Fox Assault" only a weather generator had been built. As of the Lylat Wars, there was only a small number of soldiers and a team of scientists working at Fichina. The base complex stores top secret documents for the Cornerian Army, and was heavily shielded and ringed by a network of radar antennas. The antennas are part of an early warning system and serve a secondary role of managing local space traffic control.
Solar: A Red dwarf star, Cornerian scientists speculate the reason for the planet's molten state is due to it being sited in the middle of the Sector X-Y-Z nebulae triangle. Regardless of the intense conditions, Solar was the site of several battles, notably during the Lylat Wars and the Anglar Blitz. Its surface temperature around 3,500 K,* sometimes mistaking this planet as an M-class red dwarf star. In comparison, Lylat , a B-Class blue star, has a surface temperature of over 25,000 K. However, because it burns hotter and faster, a blue star has a life expectancy of a couple million years- the largest O and B type stars only last around a million. Solar burns much slower and so will last much longer; scientists predict it will live for about a hundred billion years, if not more. Solar's surface temperature may be higher than 3,500 K. The Arwings used by the Star Fox team are shielded against temperatures up to 9,000 degrees (Centigrade or Fahrenheit is not specified, although 3,500 K is still lower than 9,000 ºF or 9,000 ºC [3,500 K = 5,840.33 ºF and 3,226.85 ºC, to be exact]) but when flying over Solar in Star Fox 64 , the team's Arwings will slowly take damage from Solar's heat, implying that the planet is hotter than 3,500 K or probably the Arwing's temperature is slowly rising while flying in Solar so that the Arwing is damaged from constant heat. It is worth mentioning that the Arwing cannot be destroyed in Solar's heat, however, only stripped down to a point where one hit will take it down.
Venom: A Green Gasous planet, is often seen to be the largest planet in the Star Fox series. It is usually shown to be about half an orbit away from Corneria , meaning that of all of the regions of interest in the Lylat system, it is the furthest away from Corneria. Due to its close proximity to Lylat , Venom is mostly an uninhabitable world, generally regarded as a place of death and destruction. Following his refusal to stop his dangerous research, Andross was charged with the highest treason and sentenced to be permanently banished to the planet's surface. However, he would later construct himself a palace deep within the planet's crust, raise an army from the planet's inhabitants, and declare war on Corneria and the entire Lylat System. In most game appearances, Venom plays a major role in the plot and frequently serves as the focal point and final Missions in the 1993 game, "Star Fox 64", "Zero" and in "Command", all four of Venom's Missions lead to four of the game's possible endings. In "Star Fox 2", Venom was liberated from Andross's rule after his previous defeat, but is subjected to being reclaimed by his second attempt to conquer the Lylat System. Venom's appearances in the Nintendo Power Comics and the Lylat Wars Comic repeats the game roles of Andross's base of operations and the final Mission. A harsh place with only decaying remnants of civilization, Venom is a cruel planet with conditions intolerable to most life. The atmosphere is highly un-breathable, as there is barely any oxygen whatsoever and it is covered with a very thick smog that keeps much of the light from both Lylat and Solar from reaching Venom's surface. Overall, Venom is a world of perpetual darkness. The surface is barren, broken by rough cliffs and chasms. A vast acidic ocean kills off any straggling attempts of life to flourish. Andross was exiled to this planet for the deadly crimes he committed near Corneria 's population. However, he did survive and even managed to make parts of the planet habitable, allowing himself and his formed army to live in isolation on the planet. It has since become his adopted homeworld and base of operations.
- In "Star Fox", Venom was a grey and black planet, yet the surface was yellow with thick clouds and thunderstorms.
- In "Star Fox 64", it appears shrouded in green gas from space (though it has a mahogany surface). The 3DS remake has conditions that resemble the original SNES designs.
- In "Command", Venom has a highly acidic sea, from which the Anglar Empire emerged from. But with the effects of the Anglar Device unleashed onto the planet, the hostile wasteland nature of Venom was eradicated and transformed the place into a warm climates paradise.
- In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Ultimate, Venom is crimson, brown, rocky and contains volcanic activity.
- In "Zero", Venom is a very small dwarf planet or asteroid that has been converted into a giant teleportation device.
- In "Star Fox 2", Venom is shown to be green and grassy and there are trees and mountains in the background. A giant mushroom can even be seen growing in the immediate area and large flowers can be seen shooting energy waves on higher difficulties. This may indicate that the planet has been terraformed since its last appearance.
Eladard: A purple, industrial planet, it only appears in Star Fox 2 . The planet's surface was littered with many factories, all once used by the forces of Venom led by Andross during his unexpected resurgence. As a result, its atmosphere was horribly polluted and little could live there.
Grippia: A Small Planetoid on the outskirts of the Lylat System . Discovered by Grippy Toad , President of Corneria Precious Metals Ltd. , it was used as CPM's primary secret storage site for precious metals. The planetoid is so far from the Lylat sun that it sits in near permanent darkness. This forced CPM to install artificial light in all their bases, despite their bots being known to stumble into the switches, turning the lights off. The surface of the planetoid seems to have been sculpted to resemble the face of Grippy Toad, arguably not the best way to keep a hidden storage location secret...
