List of locations in the Star Fox series



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.

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 very similar to Earth, in that it has a blue sky, oceans, and landmasses. It is home to 85% 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.

Dinosaur Planet
Dinosaur Planet 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 the original Star Fox, Fortuna had many dinosaurs, and was in fact, nicknamed the dinosaur planet.

In Star Fox: Assault, Dinosaur Planet is called Sauria. 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.

Dinosaur Planet was actually Rareware's original name for Star Fox Adventures before the Star Fox license was applied to it. It has been rumoured that Shigeru Miyamoto, who created the Star Fox series, wanted the game to be a part of that series, although as Rare said on their web site, "... the Rare-Nintendo relationship didn't work in such a way that they'd just force the SFA switch on [them]." 

Eladard
Eladard was a planet featured in the cancelled Star Fox 2 game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment Systen. Almost nothing is known regarding this planet other than a name.

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 inhabitible.

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. On the SNES, it was called "The dinosaur planet" (No relation to Dinosaur Planet in the later series) and was a green planet full of many different 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 resemblence to the film.

Brown with white swirls, Katina can also be seen with small explosions from above the surface on 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.

Meteo
Meteo is a belt of asteroids that surrounds the planet Corneria. Little is known about it, only that Andross prepared a squad of fighters there to defend himself against the Star Fox team. It has only appeared in Star Fox 64 so far, and it is unknown whether it will appear in any other games.

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 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.

General Pepper sent Andross into exile on Venom, where he then ammassed 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.

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 the 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.
