Macbeth is a mineral-rich factory planet of the Lylat System. It served as the main industrial center for Venom during the Lylat Wars.
Overview
Supposedly hollow after a geological event shrunk its core, Macbeth is known for containing a wealth of minerals. Home to a large population of miners, engineers and scientists, Macbeth was enslaved by Andross during the Lylat Wars and put to work supplying the Venomian Army with weapons of war. It became the industrial key to the Venomian war effort, and a launching pad for interplanetary missiles launched against Corneria. A small resistance force continued to fight for Macbeth's freedom until the end of the war.
History
Prior to the Lylat Wars, Macbeth was the heart of the Lylat aerospace industry. Gifted minds flocked to the planet to share their knowledge and make obscene amounts of money. A consortium of companies was in charge of meeting the demands of ever-increasing orders for their products. Despite making large sums of wealth, a group of greedy CEOs plotted together to become even more powerful. They betrayed the consortium by swallowing up rival companies through hostile takeovers and leveraged buyouts. In the confusion and bitter infighting, Andross succeeded in invading the planet and taking control of its resources.
The Star Fox Team attempted to liberate Macbeth and strike a crippling blow to the Venomian war industry. Fox McCloud, piloting the Landmaster, confronted a supply train protected by the biomechanical construct Mechbeth. Rather then destroying the machine itself, he was able to send the train it was attached to off-course towards the main supply depot. Unable to slow itself in time, the train crashed at high speeds into the depot, setting off stores of weapons and fuel containers in a dazzling explosion. With the loss of its main production and fueling facilities, Venom was now open to direct attack by the Star Fox team.
