List of locations in the Star Fox series


 * For the list of other Star Fox series areas go here: List of Star Fox locations.

The Star Fox series of video games from Nintendo is made up of numerous fictional planets. Most of the planets belong to the Lylat System.

Aparoid Homeworld
The Aparoid Homeworld was a planet where the Aparoid Queen, the source of all the Aparoids, lived. The planet was destroyed along the Aparoid Queen by a special Self-Destruct program created by Beltino Toad in Star Fox: Assault. It should be noted that the Aparoid Homeworld is not in the Lylat System.

Aquas
Aquas was once inhabited by a strange race of life forms unknown to Lylatian scientists. They were invaded and drowned by Bacoon and his legions of exploding starfish. The starfish melted the ice caps of Aquas and flooded the planet, killing its inhabitants and leaving the planet to be taken over by Bacoon. Fox McCloud used the Blue Marine in Star Fox 64 to find and destroy Bacoon, which Andross turned into a bio-weapon.

Cerinia
Cerinia is the home planet of Krystal, whose parents and everyone else were killed. It is not known if the planet was destroyed or its people simply wiped out, though it can be inferred that Andross had something to do with it.

Very little is known about Cerinia, other than that is was outside the Lylat System, and none of the Star Fox games have gone into further detail. It is not clear yet if a future game in the series will answer the questions about it.

Corneria
Corneria is the main planet in the Lylat System and homeworld of the Star Fox team.

Corneria is the fourth planet in the Lylat System and is known as the "Bread Basket" of the System. Corneria has many types of climates and terrains, and is mainly a farming world. Many of the people live close to the mountain ranges, where the fertile soil for farming is found. Corneria is a peaceful planet with a small defense force, and many of its starships are used for exploration and transportation. It was up to General Pepper to devise a defense force when Andross' fleet invaded the planet, and thus hired the Star Fox team to help defend Corneria.

Corneria is very similar to Earth, in that it has a blue sky, oceans, and landmasses. It is home to most of the population of the Lylat System, and is thus the main center for economy and the starting point for most of Fox McCloud's adventures.

In Star Fox: Assault, a large scale invasion by the Aparoids destroyed the capital city of Corneria.

Eladard
Eladard was a planet featured in the cancelled Star Fox 2 game for the SNES. It is an Industrial Center covered with numerous Factories.

Fichina
Prior to Star Fox: Assault, Fichina was the Japanese name for the planet Fortuna in Star Fox 64. Star Wolf was officially introduced on this planet.

In Star Fox: Assault, Fichina is a separate planet from Fortuna and is locked in an eternal Ice Age. Cornerian scientists discovered a way to control Fichina's climate and constructed a Climate Control Center, which is maintained by the Corneria Defense Forces, that makes the planet inhabitable.

The Aparoids infected the climate control system and disabled it with the help of Pigma Dengar. When Fox McCloud reactivated the center, the aparoid infested security system attacked him. Just as things were looking bleak, Falco Lombardi drops in to get Fox out. Pigma then shows up and causes an Aparoid Infection on a generator associated with the center. Fox destroys the newly created Aparoid Boss and saves the center from being destroyed.

Fortuna
Fortuna is a planet in the Lylat System. In the SNES Star Fox, it was the fifth planet in the Lylat System and is called "The dinosaur planet" (No relation to Dinosaur Planet in the later series) and was a green planet full of many different, and giant, lifeforms.

In Star Fox 64, due to a translation mix-up, Fichina was renamed Fortuna for the American version of the game. Fichina is the planet's name in the Japanese version, and Fortuna wasn't in the game.

In Star Fox: Assault, Fichina's name was kept, and the name Fortuna was a separate planet again. Fortuna in Star Fox: Assault resembles what it was in the SNES Star Fox game.

Katina
Katina is a barren planet except for the Cornerian base and some strange plant life.

In Star Fox 64, this mission was inspired by the last battle scene in the movie Independence Day. Everything from the design of the enemy fighters to the mothership itself bear resemblance to the film.

Brown with white swirls, Katina can also be seen with small explosions from above the surface in Star Fox 64. The surface is mostly composed of brown soil.

Bill Grey reunites with Fox McCloud on the surface of Katina, and Fox and Bill fight off enemies and later have to fight a mothership that tries to destroy the Cornerian base. Two options are available: the player can lose (on purpose or on accident) or win the level by destroying the mothership. Katina is later revisited in Star Fox: Assault after getting a distress signal, and Fox is forced to fight off Aparoids.

Macbeth
Macbeth is the third planet in the Lylat System. It is unique in that the planet is mainly hollow, after a geological occurance that shrunk the planet's core. Andross then used the planet as a weapons stockpile and shipyard.

Papetoon
Papetoon is only featured in the Nintendo Power Star Fox comic and thus is not considered to be an official location of the Star Fox universe. It is the location of team Star Fox's hideout.

Sauria
Sauria is a planet inhabited by dinosaurs and is the setting for Star Fox Adventures. Fox McCloud comes to Dinosaur Planet to prevent it from blowing up and to save Krystal.

In Star Fox: Assault, It is under attack by the Aparoids, who kill many of the dinosaurs there that tried to fight back. Prince Tricky is now an adult when Fox is reunited with him.

Solar
Solar is the sun of the Lylat System. It is a Red dwarf star and was featured as a level in Star Fox 64 where Andross developed a Bioweapon on the star.

The Arwing can handle a temperature of 9000 degrees while the surface temperature of Solar is capable of 13000 degrees.

Titania
Titania is a harsh desert world. Millions of years ago, it was home to an advanced civilization known as the Goras. However, when a large meteorite struck the planet, the Goras were wiped out. The beautiful planet was transformed into the sandy wasteland and the dust ejected into space formed its rings.

In the original Star Fox, Titania is the second planet of the Lylat System. It has no indigenous creatures but its large deposits of raw materials make it the Primary Resource World for Corneria. It also has a Weather-Control Unit. When deactivated, it would cause the Titanian climate to turn into an eternal blizzard of snow.

In Star Fox 64, Slippy Toad was sent hurtling onto Titania, and it was up to Fox McCloud, using the Landmaster tank, to save him. On the surface, he discovered that the apparently barren planet was teeming with robotic lifeforms and enemy fighters. And when they finally found Slippy, he was held captive by a Goras.

Titania also makes an appearance in Star Fox: Assault as a multiplayer stage.

Venom
Venom is the base of operations of Andross in Star Fox and Star Fox 64. The planet gives off a green glow from space. In both Star Fox and Star Fox 64, Venom is the last stage the player visits.

In Star Fox, Venom was the first planet of the Lylat System and was known as the "Evergreen Planet" because it boasted flora that made it beautiful second to Corneria. It is also home to a race of Lizards that were behind in terms of technology. Andross discovered the ruins of a lost civilization on Venom. It was in a crumbling library that Andross learned the secrets of the ancient race of Venom that came before the Lizards. He then used the new knowledge that he acquired to build a Telekinetic Amplifier and used it to brainwash and enslave the Venomian Lizards. He then transformed Venom into a Military Base and deployed his newly drafted Venomian Army of Imperial Lizards to invade Corneria. Although they serve Andross, the Venomian Lizards inwardly hope that the forces of Corneria can win a victory and liberate the Lylat System.

In Star Fox 64, General Pepper sent Andross into exile on Venom, where he then amassed a large army and launched an attack on the Lylat System. In Star Fox 64, Venom has two defense systems above it, Area 6 and Bolse, either of which the player must get past in order to reach the planet and confront Andross. The Venom after the player beats Bolse is simply penetrating through hordes of Venom forces. Then, there is a mini boss, which is a robot that flees the Arwing. It takes place inside a temple. If the player beats the Area 6 stage, on Venom you will go into "All-range mode" and contend with Star Wolf once more. They are now in new Wolfen ships and are more competent in terms of flying. Whichever stage the player beats before Venom determines which version of Andross you fight. Either he is a mechanical Andross or the real Andross.

Venom was also appeared in the Nintendo GameCube game Super Smash Bros. Melee as a stage. It is unclear if Venom will appear in any future Star Fox games, since it was not included in Star Fox: Assault, the most recent release.

Zoness
Zoness is a main level in Star Fox 64, it is also featured in Star Fox: Assault as a multiplayer stage.

Zoness was once the beautiful aquatic vacation world of the Lylat System until Andross polluted it. The result twisted the planet's atmosphere and turned its indigenous creatures into hideous monsters. Zoness, like Aquas is nearly covered with ocean; however, it contains some small islands on the surface.

Andross had facilities on the planet as well as numerous spotlights to prevent any potential sneak attack against him by those who might threaten him.

In this level, the player needed to fly through and destroy every searchlight in order to proceed to Sector Z. Katt Monroe could also be encountered here for the first time. The boss at the end was a giant submarine-like machine called the Sarumarine.
