Zoness is one of two oceanic worlds of the Lylat System, the other being Aquas. A former vacation world, it was occupied by Andross during the Lylat Wars.
Overview
Nearly covered with ocean, small groups of islands are the only ground that breaks above the crashing waves of Zoness. Zoness is home to a wide array of aquatic animals, including the dragon-like Todora, Troika fish, and Z-Gulls. A favored dish of many seaside restaurants were Kani.
History
Before the War, Zoness was the premier holiday planet for anyone who could afford it. However, the planet was conquered by the Venomian Army and was turned from paradise to hell. Toxic dumping turned the ocean into a sickly-green color and mutated the native life forms tremendously. Andross began constructed on new supply depots and refinery stations when the Star Fox Team attacked.
Rather then taking its defenses head-on, the team attempted to sneak in quietly. A series of radar buoys protected the main supply areas, scanning the heavens with powerful floodlamps, and formed an extensive early warning network. The team was able to destroy the bouys, with some surprise assistence from Katt Monroe, before they could alert the system and proceeded to lay waste to the infrastructure.
In the final moments of the attack, Fox McCloud confronted Sarumarine, the source of the planet-wide pollution. In a hard-fought battle Fox destroyed the poisonous submarine and put an end to the origin of the toxic waste.
Although Zoness was not a target of the Aparoids during the Aparoid invasion. Zoness appears as a Vs. Mode stage for Star Fox: Assault. It seems to have mostly recovered from the pollution, as its water is now dark blue.
