'''Solar''' is a planet covered mostly by lava and is often mistaken for a sun due to the aforementioned description. The heat that Solar creates is so hot that most ships cannot spend more then a few minutes on or near the surface without burning up and exploding. Cornerian scientists have also speculated about there being life, even intelligent life resilient enough to survive the incredible temperatures of Solar. These reports are as yet uncomfirmed, due to the nature of the scientist conducting the research; one former Dr. [[Andross]].
'''Solar''' is an M-Class red dwarf star situated in the [[Lylat System]]. Surprisingly, it was the site of several battles during the [[Lylat Wars]] and afterwards.


During the [[Lylat Wars]], Andross used Solar as one of his [[bioweapon]] staging grounds and developed one such creature he named '[[Vulcain]]' which is composed primarily of hardened lava. When the Star Fox team arrived at Solar, they quickly discovered the existence of creatures called [[Gores]] that thrived on Solar; whether they are actually life forms or results from Andross' experiments is uncertain.

Later, they are joined by [[Falco Lombardi]], who reports having seen a giant weapon.

Solar is an M-Class red dwarf star situated in the Lylat System. Surprisingly, it was the site of several battles during the Lylat Wars and afterwards.

Overview

Solar is situated in the middle of the "X-Y-Z Triangle", a geometric shape formed by the locations of Sector X, Sector Y and Sector Z. Notwithstanding its surface temperature of around 3,500 K, this red dwarf star is one of the coldest stars in the galaxy. In comparison, the exact opposite of Solar, a B-Class blue star, has a surface temperature of over 25,000 K.

However, because it burns hotter and faster, a blue star has a life expectancy of a couple billion years. Solar burns much slower and so will last much longer; scientists predict it will live for about a hundred billion years, if not more.

History

Before the Lylat Wars scientists never believed that life could exist on a star, even one as cold as a red dwarf like Solar; perhaps Adross introduced life there just to spite his colleagues. Nevertheless, General Pepper sent the Star Fox Team to investigate when a number of Venomian scout ships were detected approaching and leaving the star. What they discovered were biological monsters, the result of Andross' genetic experimentation, that not only lived but thrived in the extremely hot environment.

Eventually the team was forced to confront Vulcain, the most deadly of Andross' star-spawn Bioweapons. Dodging its attacks, Fox McCloud was able to destroy the beast and put an end to Andross' mad biological terror. Life continued to flourish on the star after the end of the war.
