1. #1Lylat Systemselective

   Keys: Lylat system, Lylat

   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.

2. #2Important Historical Events: Anglar Blitzselective

   Some years after the defeat of the Aparoid Race, a new threat to the Lylat System emerged from the depths of the acidic Venomian seas, the Anglar army. Corneria was once again the primary target of the frontline attacks, with fleets and enemy units similar to that of the Venomian army, the planet was dominated in the name of the Anglar Emperor.

   Team Star Fox had disbanded at that point, leaving the Lylat System more vulnerable than ever before. Dependant on the choices, Fox McCloud once again climbed back into his Arwing to face the Anglars, alone or united with old friends or even enemies.
   

3. #3Important Historical Events: Era of Peaceselective

   Keys: Era of Peace

   Before the Lylat Wars, Corneria was the center of political power in the Lylat System. The Cornerian military was mostly limited to the homeworld, and the system was, for the most part, peaceful. During this period, the gifted Dr. Andross had begun to take interest in increasingly dangerous biotechnology, as well as elaborate, ambitious projects including attempts to terraform the frontier planet Venom. Ignoring repeated demands that he cease his experiments, Andross was eventually banished to Venom after a catastrophic incident involving a bioweapon he developed. Despite contaminating a small area of Corneria's capital city, further damage was prevented due to a timely, and somewhat frantic, response by the Cornerian Defense Force. Nonetheless, Andross's experiments resulted in the planetary system being damaged to such an extent that it became a "wasteland of near extinction." General Pepper, the commander-in-chief of the Cornerian Army, seized Andross' laboratory and assets, and permanently banished the doctor to the hostile world of Venom.

4. #4Important Historical Events: The Lylat Warsselective

   Keys: Lylat Wars, Great War

   Five years after Andross' banishment, Cornerian intelligence agencies began to notice strange activity on and around Venom. Concerned about the situation, General Pepper dispatched the commando squadron Star Fox to investigate. The team was comprised of three members: ace pilot James McCloud, his long-time friend Peppy Hare, and the materialistic Pigma Dengar whose main concern was payment. Unknown to Peppy and James, Pigma had been offered a large sum of money by Andross and turned on his wingmates upon their arrival at Venom, leaving them open to attack. James's ship allegedly drifted into an artificial Black Hole created by Andross, while Peppy barely managed to escape. Peppy then returned to Corneria to inform James's son Fox McCloud that his father was betrayed and killed.

   Andross spent the following years building a massive armada, recruiting the various pirates, outcasts, and cultists on Venom and neighboring planets. Having developed several experimental superweapons, Andross turned his attention to Corneria, planning to overthrow the existing government and proclaim himself emperor. The Venomian fleets expanded across the Lylat System, conquering the various planets on their path to Corneria.
   
   General Pepper considered this no less than an act of war, prompting a large counter-offensive by the Cornerian military, with the new Star Fox team at the head of the assault. This new team was tasked with leading the counter strike, featuring new equipment and personnel including the cocky hotshot pilot Falco Lombardi, a starship engineer named Slippy Toad, the seasoned veteran Peppy Hare, and the new Dreadnaught Class cruiser Great Fox.
   
   After repelling a direct assault on Corneria's capital city, the Star Fox Team proceeded to liberate the rest of the Lylat System and push the Venomian forces back to their homeworld. The team struck decisively at many Venomian strong points, with the Cornerian fleets hunting down stragglers. After an entanglement with the opposing mercenary squadron Star Wolf, Fox broke off from his squadron and proceeded down into Andross's subterranean stronghold alone. There he encountered an incredibly mutated Andross, who had spent years "improving" himself with synthetic enhancements and gene manipulation. The ensuing battle revealed that all that remained of Andross' original form was contained within an enormous biomechanical brain. Upon his defeat, Andross activated a self-destruct system, destroying himself and his facility in an attempt to take his assailant with him. Although stunned by the blast, Fox's father appeared ahead of him, leading him through the maze of tunnels and back to the surface. His father, James McCloud., flies away and can be seen as a shooting star behind the Great Fox.
   
   Upon their return to Corneria, the Star Fox team was decorated for their achievements, and paid a massive monetary reward. The death of Andross marked the end of Lylat Wars, although the inhabitants would have to spend several years rebuilding.

   Keys: Titan Incident, Titania Research Base, Research Base Incident, Titania Research Base Incident

   Four years after the conclusion of the Lylat Wars, Falco Lombardi responded to a distress signal from Katt Monroe. Falco responded to the call immediately, going AWOL in the process. The remainder of the team eventually arrived at a newly constructed research station on Titania, currently the only facility of its kind on the planet. Falco managed to save Katt and her gang of space hot-rodders, FREE AS A BIRD, from a native Goras creature, while the rest of Star Fox contacted the head of the research institute, Captain Shears. It is revealed that the facility aims to replicate Andross' research, although they are under attack by Venomian remnants.

   Meanwhile, Katt informed Falco that Captain Shears was attempting to test an unspecified superweapon. Shears then designated a target for Star Fox, which the team believed to be of Venomian origin. Upon discovering that the target was actually a hot rodders ship, team began to question Captain Shears' motives and dispatched Slippy to investigate further. Suspecting an insurrection, Captain Shears set a Goras upon Slippy, mirroring a similar incident in the past, eventually resulting in his capture. Katt reveals to Star Fox that the hot rodders had acquired leaked information regarding the nature of the experiments conducted at the research facility. ROB 64's description revealed that the facility was not simply attempting to replicate Andross' research, but were in fact attempting to create a clone of Andross himself.
   
   The mercenary teams then conducted a surgical strike on the research facility, with the hot rodders creating a diversionary assault while Fox infiltrated the base to rescue Slippy. It became increasingly apparent that Captain Shears was losing his sanity as he attempted to personally hunt down Fox. Meanwhile, another Goras creature attacked the hot rodders, but were saved by a timely intervention by Falco.
   
   The following was a duel between Fox and Shears, during which Shears' rapier was disabled. While attempting to escape on his river boar, but was crushed by the newly risen Andross. Fox was able to destroy Andross using the Landmaster's Solar Bomb, destroying the research facility in the process. Following this series of events, Falco proclaims his intentions to operate independently from the Star Fox team, and encourages Katt give up being a mercenary.
   

6. #6Important Historical Events: Plight of Sauriaselective

   Keys: Plight of Sauria, Plight of Dinosaur Planet

   The Plight of Sauria was an isolated incident on Dinosaur Planet, taking place a little more than eight years after the Lylat Wars (and 4 years after the events on Titania) during a small gap of relative peace in the Lylat System. Those living in the Lylat System were concerned in the well-being of the planet, but were more distracted by other issues such as pirates to really pay much attention to Dinosaur Planet. The planet had been experiencing a tribal war, due to the villainous SharpClaw, led by General Scales. General Pepper dispatched the Star Fox team to investigate what exactly was happening there and soon discovered the planet had been splitting apart from the inside.

   Objects known as SpellStones were part of the main source of the planet's energy in keeping it together. The other main source was the race known as the Krazoa. This disembodied race held magical abilities that General Scales hoped to get his hands on, but what he did not know was that he was merely a puppet being used by the thought-to-be dead Andross.
   
   Fox's perilous journey through the Dinosaur Planet led him to General Scales, who was commanded by Andross to release the last Krazoa spirit and be used by Krystal to revive himself. After a great battle, Fox, with the help of an old friend, defeated Andross, and Dinosaur Planet had been saved.
   

7. #7Important Historical Events: Aparoid Invasionselective

   Keys: Aparoid Invasion

   More than a year after the end of the crisis on Sauria (formerly Dinosaur Planet), an insect-like race called the aparoids invaded the Lylat System. Eventually, they made a colossal assault on Corneria, taking the planet by surprise and leaving it in ruins. With the help of the Star Fox team, researchers on board a base known as the orbital gate managed to create a program that would make all aparoids self-destruct. The catch was that it had to be fired at the aparoid queen in the core of the aparoid homeworld. A small assault fleet was assembled (including the Great Fox), and they used the gate to travel through an unknown distance to the aparoid homeworld. The entrance to the core was protected by the shield, and Star Fox was deployed to take them out. Specifically, Fox was the one who went planet side to take out the aparoid hatchers.

   It was not enough, for shortly after, energy from the core formed an almost unbreakable shield. Thanks to the heroic and sacrificial efforts of Peppy, the Star Fox team managed to get through and deliver the self-destruct program to the queen, thus ending the war.
   

8. #8Planet: Aparoid Homeworldselective

   Keys: Aparoid Homeworld

   The Aparoid Homeworld is a hollow and mysterious world, far away from the Lylat System and so far only accessed through the Cornerian Federation's Orbital Gate. The planet's name is taken from being known as the homeworld, base, and main breeding site of the Aparoid race until it was destroyed by the demise of the Aparoid Queen.

9. #9Planet: Aquasselective

   Keys: Aquas

   Aquas 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.

10. #10Planet: Ceriniaselective

    Keys: Cerinia

    Cerinia was a planet in a system far away from Lylat System, and was the original home to the blue vixen Krystal. Cerinia's name is not actually mentioned in-game, nor is the fact that Krystal's entire planet was wiped out. The game instead only makes reference to the deaths of her parents. The information about her planet actually comes from the instruction booklet for Star Fox Adventures, where it was reported to have been doomed to an unknown calamity. The only known survivor is Krystal, who originally came to Dinosaur Planet searching for answers to the destruction of her homeworld, as well as the death of her parents.

11. #11Planet: Corneriaselective

    Keys: Corneria

    Corneria is the fourth planet of the Lylat System, 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.

12. #12Planet: Eladardselective

    Keys: Eladard

    Eladard is a planet in the Lylat System. 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.

13. #13Planet: Fichinaselective

    Keys: Fichina

    Fichina 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.

14. #14Planet: Fortunaselective

    Keys: Fortuna

    Fortuna is the fifth planet of the Lylat system. 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.

15. #15Planet: Grippiaselective

    Keys: Grippia

    Grippia is 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

16. #16Planet: Katinaselective

    Keys: Katina

    Katina is a semi-arid world of the Lylat System, 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.

17. #17Planet: Kewselective

    Keys: Kew

    Not much is known of the planet itself, although it is located in a different galaxy called "Krazoa",

    It is said that Krystal, unable to face up to her sins, ran from her problems and became the bounty huntress known as "Kursed". While taking a bounty on the planet Kew, she encounters Fox again who does not seem to recognize her. It is unknown if through this ending's timeline the two ever put aside their differences and get back together again.

18. #18Planet: Macbethselective

    Keys: Macbeth

    Macbeth is the third planet of the Lylat System, 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.

19. #19Planet: Papetoonselective

    Keys: Papetoon

    Papetoon is a planet at a distant corner of the Lylat System.

    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 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.

20. #20Planet: Sauriaselective

    Keys: Sauria

    Sauria, formerly known as Dinosaur Planet, is a large 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.

    Millions of years before the Plight of Sauria, the planet's second moon came crashing onto the surface of the area that became Moon Mountain Pass, resulting in the appearances of many new species including a mutant race called the SharpClaw.

    The ancient beings referred to as the Krazoa, created four SpellStones, full of dark matter that would absorb the energy of the planet and hold it together, as it was not capable of holding together on its own like most planets, suggesting that the planet itself might be artificially created or that it went through a catastrophe in its past. Two Force Point Temples were built to keep the SpellStones, two SpellStones of water being kept in the Ocean and the two fire SpellStones were kept in the Volcano.

21. #21Planet: Solarselective

    Keys: Solar

    Solar is a molten planet situated in the Lylat System. 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 but when flying over Solar, 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.

22. #22Planet: Titaniaselective

    Keys: Titania

    Titania is the second planet of the Lylat 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.

    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.

23. #23Planet: Venomselective

    Keys: Venom

    Venom is the first planet of the Lylat System and 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.

    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.

24. #24Planet: Zonessselective

    Keys: Zoness

    Zoness 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.

    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.
