Corneria Rocks.
The geology of Corneria may not seem like the most exciting topic in the Lylat System, but the porous, volcanic stones of Corneria has shaped the planet's history in many ways. Everywhere you go on the planet, you'll find that caves, tunnels, stone arches and crevices have been carved from the rock by the planet's many stream and rivers.
Throughout history, Cornerians have used these rocky refuges to hide from their opressors. In times of war, the citizens flee to the hills and huddle far beneath the ground, safe until the fighting ends. Entire cities have been built in the larger cave systems to house the refugees. When the war ends and people return home, they call it the "rocking out".
The Red Planet
Millions of years ago, Titania was a thriving planet populated by an advanced agrarian civilization. Interspersed between the farming communities were ornate cities of stone that the Titanians constructed using advanced engineering and architectural techniques. The centerpiece of every town was it's temple, where villagers would leave their harvests to appease the fearsome Goras. Now, two million years after an asteroid collided with Titania, the Goras is the only surviving creature roaming the planet. A far cry from the lush, green planet it once was, Titania has become a barren wasteland of deserts and dunes. Even the Goras is different - A direct result of Andross's biomechanical experimentation. -
Inside the Bulkwarks of Bolse
Bolse is Andross's last bastion of defense that keeps watch over Venom while still keeping it's sights aimed at Corneria. Stockpiled with missiles and Venom armies, the artificial planet orbits around Venom, recklessly blasting away any oncombring fleets. Powering the massive space station is Bolse's bionuclear core. While the core generates immeasurable power, its unstable fusion of biomutated energy and nuclear power turns Bolse into a ticking time bomb. Therefore, six reactor pylons must constantly cool and stabilize the generator, or else Bolse's core will undergo bionuclear meltdown.
The Battleship Graveyard
Sector Y is a mysterious zone haunted by conflicting storms of radiation and magnetic energy. The space dust that ionizes the sector tends to cause the equipment of most space craft to malfunction or fail. Sector Y renders most ships helpless, leaving them victims to space pirates and Venom's armies. Usually, pilots wisely steer clear of the eerie vacuum, but those who dare to enter rarely escape. Scientists attribute much of the existence of the Sector Y phenomenon on a failed Bolse satellite prototype that underwent a nuclear meltdown and polluted the zone with its radioactive remains.
Anatomy of an Invasion
The invasion of Katina is a textbook example of a Venom assault. The first enemy objective is to establish air superiority. Since Andross's invader IIs are inferior to Cornerian Fighters, the enemy will overwhelm the defenders with huge numbers. As saucerer flies over primary targets, air defense units are lured into meeting the first wave of Invader IIs. A larger wave of enemy fighters then swarms out of Saucerer and eliminates the preoccupied defendes. With the skies clear, Saucerer deploys it's Core Weapon and commences with the second objective: the complete annihilation of hapless ground units. At the end of the battle, shock troops are dropped to enslave the survivors.
It's rumored that Andross stole the plans for Saucerer from an alien civilization that lives beyong the Lylat System.
One Cool Hot Spot
With the surface temperature in excess of 3500 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 (ça veut dire ce que ça veut dire ;). Solar is a M-Class Dwarf, one of the coldest stars in the universe (ils disent que c'est une planète dans Command
). In contrast, Solar's antithesis, a B-Class Blue Star, has a searing surface temperature of 25000 degrees Kelvin and a life expectancy of a couple billion years. Luckily, M-Class star burn the slowest and last the longest. Scientist predict that Solar will keep shining in the Lylat System for 100 billion (milliard) years or more.
The Tragic Tale of MacBeth.
Years ago MacBeth was the center of the aerospace industry for the Lylat System. Gifted scientists and engineers flocked to the planet to share knowledge and make staggering sums of money. orders poured in and a consortium of companies worked long hours to meet the demand. While there should have been enough wealth for everyone, a handful greedy CEOs tried to gather up all the power by betraying the consortium with hostile takeovers and levegeraged buyouts. Capitalizing on the confusion and brutal infighting, Andross invaded the planet, enslavec the scientists and set up weapon assembly lines.
Mysteries in the Deep.
The ancient civilization of Aquas once stood above the waves on a series of Islands amidst the global ocean. There, people built great temples and made living harvesting sea life from the surrounding waters. But long ago, a monstrous entity known as Bacoon grew in depths of the oceann adnd it was jealous of the glorious civilization on the land. over many years, Bacoon grew powerful. It learned to control the other aquatic lifeforms, like the explosive Starfish. When Bacoon commanded thousands of the Starfish to migrate to the ice cap and explode, the resulting heat melted the polar cap and all the islands were covered by the sea forever.
Katt on the Wing
Katt Monroe is an expert pilot and occasional ally of the Star Fox team. The Cornerian military considers her a bit of nuisance but acknowledges that she has been useful in the fight against Andross. Intel reports state that Katt was once ambushed-and her ship crippled-by an Androssian patrol, and that beacause of this incident, she has dedicated herself to Andross's defeat. Katt currently flies a heavily modified Invader-class fighter, dubbed The Catspaw, apparently stolen from one of Andross's bases. When asked about this alleged incident by her close friend, Falco, Katt allegedly replied, "Just be glad I'm on your side, fly boy."
GreatFox
Developed by Arspace Dynamics Co., Ltd., manufacturer of the Arwing fighters, GreatFox was custom built under the direction of James McCloud. Featuring three NTD-FX9 plasma engines, GreatFox is light-speed capable and has a real-space cruising speed that nearly matches the Arwing's. Power for its two T&B-H9 hyperlaser cannons is routed directly from the plasma engines, giving the ship the ability to punch through even a Zeram-Class cruiser's shields. ROB64 was developed in conjunction with GreatFox and is hard-wired directly to the ship's primary computer. James McCloud took out a low interest, 80-year mortgage to purchase GreatFox, a debt that his son is doing his best to repay.
Evidence of a Lost Tribe?
It is not known whether Golemech is something Andross created or something he discovered in the anciant ruins that dot the surface of Venom. Few archeological surveys were sent to Venom before Andross took it over at his base, but Corneria University scientists believe that the legendary Lost Tribe of Cornerus did, indeed, inhabit Venom in the distant past. They also think it possible that Golemech is a remnant of the Lost Tribe's Technology. Ancient texts state that the tribe eventually struck out into space to find a new home, but what became of them, no one knows.
C'est tout. Bonne lecture.
