| '''Titania''' is a vast, barren desert world located in the [[Lylat System]]. The planet's atmosphere is composed of black clouds and red dust blown by ion storms that buffet its surface. Various cactus plants are Titania's only visible sign of life.

| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
|
| |
| [[Image:ExploringTitania.jpg|left|frame|The [[Landmaster]], excavating Titania.]]
| |
| 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. Due to Titania's hostile nature, travel to the planet is usually restricted to researchers alone.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| | |
| Long ago, Titania was a prosperous, fertile world home to a progressive agrarian society. Using advanced construction techniques, the Titanians erected ornate cities of stone located between small farming communities. As is evidenced in their elaborate temples, the Titanians are thought to have worshiped the Goras creature as a sort of harvest god.
| |
| | |
| In time, an asteroid, possibly from the [[Asteroid Belt|Meteo Asteroid Belt]], collided with Titania, instantly turning what was once a lush world into its current desolate state.
| |
| | |
| During the [[Lylat Wars]], scout forces sent by [[Andross]] investigated the planet and discovered the Goras. Through bio-mechanical experimentation, Andross altered the creature's DNA and turned it into a fearsome warrior. The [[Star Fox Team]] battled through [[Venom|Venomian]] forces in search of [[Slippy Toad]], who had crash-landed on Titania and was captured by the Goras. Ultimately, [[Fox McCloud]] rescued Slippy, destroying the Goras in the process.
| |
| | |
| Four years after the Lylat Wars, research bases were established on Titania, including one commanded by [[Captain Shears]]. [[Katt Monroe]], as well as the other members of the [[Hot Rodders]] gang, battled against another Goras that was secretly sent by Captain Shears himself. Shears and his subordinates were later revealed to be remnants of Andross' army, and they had experimented with various regeneration technologies in hopes of reviving Andross. The regeneration process finished prematurely, and the result was a mindless clone of Andross which was promptly defeated by Fox McCloud.

| ===As a multiplayer stage===
| |
| | |
| Titania appears in ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'' as an unlockable stage. The stage itself is actually a base located somewhere in the desert. Players can [[Sniper rifle|snipe]] from atop rocks or fly the [[Arwing]] for dogfights, although air space is limited. There are caves that hold power-ups like [[barrier sphere|barriers]] and other, more powerful weapons. Players can set up [[Sensor Bomb]]s in these caves and hide for an ambush.
| |
| | |
| *This multiplayer stage actually has one small pool of water. This means that microscopic organisms may actually still exist on Titania.
| |
| *It is interesting to note that with the booster pack, a player can jump up to the top of the spire in the center of the base and Arwings or Wolfens won't be able to reach him or her.
| |
| | |
| ==In ''Star Fox''==
| |
| In ''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]'' and the [[Star Fox (Nintendo Power comic)|Nintendo Power comic]], Titania is a frozen planet, much like [[Fichina]] in the ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' reboot. In the game, the planet's frozen climate can be changed instantly to a warmer climate by destroying a planetary weather device.
| |
| | |
| ==In ''Star Fox 2''==
| |
| [[File:TitaniaSF2.png|right]]
| |
| In ''[[Star Fox 2]]'', Titania served as one of Andross' many bases. Note that in this game, Titania has a moon. This ''may'' still be canonical, as the manga ''[[Farewell, Beloved Falco]]'' also shows a moon in Titania's sky.
