Unlike the majority of planets in the [[Lylat System]], Katina is covered by more land than water. Despite this, several small inland seas can be found on the planet, covering around 8% of the surface. Some of these seas are large and contain islands big enough to house naval forces. Around these seas are large areas of grasslands and savannas. In recent years several cities have sprung up around the military outposts in these prairies, but as of | [[File:CommandKatina.png|left|thumb|Katina in ''Star Fox Command''.]]Unlike the majority of planets in the [[Lylat System]], Katina is covered by more land than water.

As water resources become scarcer as one travels further inland, the planet's climate becomes markedly more arid. Here in the desert regions where green plants fail to grow, large fungi like organisms are the most common form of life. Finally in the vast regions furthest inland are large wastelands devoid of any kind plant life. Although several highlands, hills, and large plateaus dot the surface, there appear to be little to no mountain ranges on the planet. Thus from space, the planet appears to have a rusty brown appearance. | As water resources become scarcer as one travels further inland, the planet's climate becomes markedly more arid.

It is unconfirmed if Katina has any moons or not. Katina was under the process of forming a permanent colony on her surface during the invasion of the Lylat System by [[Andross]], which put a temporary hold on those plans for a while. | ||
Katina is one of the most heavily militarized planets in the Lylat System. Numerous outposts housing legions of fighter squadrons and ground forces can be found almost anywhere on the planet. Among them is the the famous Bulldog and Husky Squadron Squadrons, led by [[Bill Grey]]. | Katina is one of the most heavily militarized planets in the Lylat System.

During the Aparoid invasion, the planet was one of the targets of the [[Aparoid|Aparoids]]. Someone sent a distress signal and Fox went down to investigate, while [[Falco]], [[Slippy]], and [[Krystal]] covered him from the air in Arwings. Fox was able to destroy much of the Aparoids around the base with the help of a [[Landmaster]]. Afterwards, Aparoid Hatchers rained down from the sky in order to make reinforcements for the current Aparoids. Fox was able to destroy those too. Soon, as a final attempt to defeat the Star Fox Team, a giant, spider-like Aparoid was warped in. Fox attempted to grab the Core Memory that it had in its possession, but [[Pigma Dengar]] came and stole it, at the same time revealing that he sent the distress signal. | During the Aparoid invasion, the planet was one of the targets of the [[Aparoid|Aparoids]].

In the ending of the game, it's revealed that many of the occupied outposts suffered damage, but that the remaining Citizenry survived largely unscathed and the Army was able to defend a good deal of the outposts. Due to the aftermath of the invasion, however, the top priorities were to get supplies to rebuild the outposts as well as to preserve public safety. | [[File:KatinaBackground.png|right|thumb|A map of Katina.]]In the ending of the game, it's revealed that many of the occupied outposts suffered damage, but that the remaining Citizenry survived largely unscathed and the Army was able to defend a good deal of the outposts.

Katina was one of the many planets attacked by the [[Anglar]] during their invasion of the Lylat System. Katina was feature in three levels and two storylines. The first saw Falco alone assisting Bill Grey. The second storyline featured two levels. One level showed Fox locating Krystal and asking her forgiveness. The other level showed the same story from Falco and Slippy's point of view where the two assisted Bill. | Katina was one of the many planets attacked by the [[Anglar]] during their invasion of the Lylat System.
