'''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]].

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.

The [[Arwing]]s used by Star Fox team are shielded against temperatures up to 9,000 degrees (Centigrade or Fahrenheit is not specified, although 3,500 K is still lower than 9,000 ºF or 9,000 ºC [3,500 K = 5,840.33 ºF and 3,226.85 ºC, to be exact]), but when flying over Solar in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', the team's Arwings will slowly take damage from the star's heat, implying that the star is hotter than 3,500 K, or probably that the Arwing's temperature is slowly rising while flying in Solar so that the Arwing is damaged from constant heat.
After asking Wolf for help, Fox contacted [[Falco Lombardi]] so that they could rendezvous at Solar. Fox and Wolf got there first and cleared through a series of enemies before Falco arrived. Falco and Wolf were unwilling to work at first, but Fox got them working. Falco revealed that he had seen a large satellite when he entered Solar air space. The three managed to destroy the satellite thanks to a plan thought up by Wolf. The team then got a transmission from [[Peppy Hare|General Peppy]] asking for help on [[Titania]].

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 [[Andross]] 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.

Solar is a celestial body situated in the Lylat System. Whether it is a star or a planet is subject to debate. This is because the status has changed between sources. 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. The official Star Fox 64 website has stated that this may be the cause of the planet's perpetual genesis state.[1]

History

Star Fox 64

Before the Lylat Wars scientists never believed that life could exist on Solar. Nevertheless, General Pepper sent the Star Fox to investigate when a number of Venomian scout ships were detected approaching and leaving the area. What they discovered were biological monsters, the result of Andross's genetic experimentation, that not only lived but thrived in the extremely hot environment.

The team battled through this hellish environment while fighting creatures like the Gores. Eventually they were 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's mad biological terror. Life continued to flourish on Solar after the end of the war.

The Red Hot Planet

Solar in Star Fox Command.

This story occurs if Fox chooses to ask Wolf O'Donnell for help on Fichina.

After asking Wolf for help, Fox contacted Falco Lombardi so that they could rendezvous at Solar. Fox and Wolf got there first and cleared through a series of enemies before Falco arrived. Falco and Wolf were unwilling to work at first, but Fox got them working. Falco revealed that he had seen a large satellite when he entered Solar air space. The three managed to destroy the satellite thanks to a plan thought up by Wolf. The team then got a transmission from General Peppy asking for help on Titania.
