'''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.

'''Titania''' is a planet in the [[Lylat System]] which is covered with arid deserts and harsh environments.


==Overview==
==Geography and wildlife==
[[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==
Titania is noted for its harsh deserts. Its uncompromising, blasted environment is continually visited by sandstorms, and the only indigenous life is the monstrous [[Goras]], one of which serve as the level's boss in [[Star Fox 64]]. The landscape is dotted with the skeletal remains of creatures so massive that a [[Landmaster]] can easily pass through their ribcages.


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.
==Inspiration==


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.
Titania appears to be based on [[Wikipedia: Mars|Mars]], whose similarly red, lifeless surface has captured the imagination of humans for millennia. It has been theorized that Mars was once very much like Earth, a theory that is supported by the presence of canyons and ancient seabeds that lie scattered across the surface of the planet. This sentiment carries over to Titania. While the following is very much speculative, it is easily imagined that Titania was once a fertile planet that fell victim to some unknown cataclysm and was rendered lifeless, except for the great Goras.


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.
==Appearances==
Titania has appeared in all [[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]] games to date.


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.
===''[[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]]''===
In ''Star Fox'', the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] can visit Titania on one of the three available routes through the Lylat System.


===As a multiplayer stage===
===''[[Star Fox 64]]''===
In ''Star Fox 64'', [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] is knocked to the surface of the planet by an enemy, prompting the rest of the team to take to the planet's surface to look for him.


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.

Titania is a planet in the Lylat System which is covered with arid deserts and harsh environments.

Geography and wildlife

Titania is noted for its harsh deserts. Its uncompromising, blasted environment is continually visited by sandstorms, and the only indigenous life is the monstrous Goras, one of which serve as the level's boss in Star Fox 64. The landscape is dotted with the skeletal remains of creatures so massive that a Landmaster can easily pass through their ribcages.

Inspiration

Titania appears to be based on Mars, whose similarly red, lifeless surface has captured the imagination of humans for millennia. It has been theorized that Mars was once very much like Earth, a theory that is supported by the presence of canyons and ancient seabeds that lie scattered across the surface of the planet. This sentiment carries over to Titania. While the following is very much speculative, it is easily imagined that Titania was once a fertile planet that fell victim to some unknown cataclysm and was rendered lifeless, except for the great Goras.
