While technically not a game, Titania is also the main setting of the Manga "Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco", since Katt, as well as her teammates of the Hot Rodders gang, were fighting off against another Goras (translated as Golas in this manga), sent by Captain Shears, the leader of the research station on Titania, as well as the main antagonist of the manga, telling fox because they are remanents of Andross' army (though in actuality because they stumbled upon plans involving the revival of, not Andross's research as he previously said, but Andross himself.)

Titania is barren, desert world of crumbling ruins and sandy dunes located in the Lylat System. It was the site of a number of battles during the Lylat Wars and later conflicts.
Overview
Titania is known as the "Red Planet" because of the massive ion storms that kick up dust from the planet's surface and deposit it into the stratosphere. A surprising amount of ancient ruins have been discovered on Titania by archaeologists, pointing to an advanced 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.
History
Until about two million years ago Titania was a prosperous planet, home to a progressive agrarian society. The Titanians constructed ornate cities of stone located between their farming communities using advanced construction techniques. They worshiped the Goras creature by constructing temples in the center of their towns and leaving their harvests their to appease the creature. Then a massive asteroid crashed into Titania and destroyed everything, turning the lush world into its current barren state.
During the Lylat Wars, scout forces sent by Andross investigated the planet and discovered Goras. The mad scientist, through biomechanical experimentation, altered the creature and turned it into a fearsome warrior. The Star Fox Team battled through Venomian forces in a search for Slippy Toad, who had crash-landed on Titania and was captured by Goras. Fox McCloud succeeded in rescuing Slippy and destroying Goras, ending the creature's existence.
While technically not a game, Titania is also the main setting of the Manga "Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco", since Katt, as well as her teammates of the Hot Rodders gang, were fighting off against another Goras (translated as Golas in this manga), sent by Captain Shears, the leader of the research station on Titania, as well as the main antagonist of the manga, telling fox because they are remanents of Andross' army (though in actuality because they stumbled upon plans involving the revival of, not Andross's research as he previously said, but Andross himself.) It's also where Fox and Falco end up getting into a dogfight (as Falco was seen aiding what seemed to be Andross's ship, but was actually the Hot Rodders ship.) The research base was later destroyed after Fox destroys Andross. It's subtly implied that the Goras in question may have been created (or even resurrected) by Shears due to the fact that he has command over it.
It has recently appeared in Star Fox Assault as a VS. mode stage. The base in the center is the battle field.
