}}</ref> of the [[Lylat System]]. It first appeared in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', though it was mistakenly refered to as [[Fortuna]].

Throughout most of Lylat history, the planet of Fichina was uninhabitable due to it being a planet of extreme cold<ref>{{quote

|line= "There's nothing here but snow and ice."

|game= Star Fox: Assault

|line= "But after they built the climate control center, the planet became inhabitable."

}}</ref>. Other than the climate control center, Fichina is home to several [[Corneria|Cornerian]] bases. It is also known to be covered with a dense layer of fog.

=== Fichina During the Lylat Wars ===

[[File:CommandFichina.png|thumb|left|Fichina during the events of ''[[Star Fox Command]]''.]]During the Lylat Wars, a Cornerian base was attacked and taken by the forces of [[Andross]]. The [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] was sent to retake the Cornerian base from Andross while on their way to his base on [[Venom]]. Early during the battle, [[Slippy Toad]] began to notice that the enemy ships were leaving the base with increasing speed. [[ROB 64]] reported to team leader [[Fox McCloud]] that a bomb had been triggered in the base. Before he could go to defuse the bomb, Fox and his team were set upon by the [[Star Wolf]] team, led by Fox's rival, [[Wolf O'Donnell]]. Star Fox managed to beat their rivals and Fox plunged into the base, deactivating the bomb.

=== Fichina and the Aparoids ===

[[File:Fox After Fichina.png|150px|right|thumb|Fox resting on Fichina.]]

Due to the advice of [[Panther Caroso]], the newest member of the Star Wolf team, Star Fox followed [[Pigma Dengar]] to Fichina. They arrived to find the climate control center out of order<ref>{{quote

|line= "From the look of things, the climate control generator's...well it looks like it's been out of order for quite a while."

}}</ref>. Peppy told Fox that he had to reactivate the generator to keep the planet habitable<ref>{{quote

|line= "If this blizzard keeps up, the planet will once again become barren."

|name= Peppy Hare

}}</ref>. Fox landed on the planet to find that the climate control center was protected by three shield generators. Peppy sent him a [[Landmaster]] and, with it, Fox blew up the shield generators. Upon entering, Fox was able to reactivate the control center, but was attacked by the sentry bots. [[Falco]] arrived on the scene in his [[Arwing]] and saved Fox. With Fox on his wing, Falco went to join Slippy and [[Krystal]], who had also appeared. Slippy had analyzed the sentry bots and found out that they were [[Aparoid|Aparoids]] that had infected the control center. Pigma then revealed himself before awakening the control generator, which had also been infected Falco left Pigma alone to fight the Aparoid and dropped Fox off to get his Arwing. Using [[Smart Bomb|Smart Bombs]] dropped by the creatures that the Aparoid released, Fox managed to defeat the Aparoid without harming the generator. With the defeat of the Aparoid, Fox stayed behind on the planet to ponder the infectious ability of the Aparoids.

=== Fichina and the Anglar ===

After interceptting a message to [[Peppy|General Peppy Hare]] from his daughter, [[Lucy Hare]], Fox and Slippy raced towards Fichina. They arrived to find the planet swarmed by the [[Anglar]] forces. After clearing the battlefield, Fox and Slippy were once again set upon by Star Wolf. The two defeated their opponents and managed to find Lucy. Lucy revealed that she had learned the leader of the attack was [[Andrew Oikonny]]. Slippy then suggested that he and Fox might want to visit his father, [[Beltino]], at the [[Beltino Orbital Gate]] and Fox decided whether to stay on Fichina, or head towards the [[Meteo Asteroid Belt]].

[[File:FichinaBackground.png|thumb|left|A map of Fichina.]]Upon deciding to stay on Fichina, ROB recieved a message from Oikonny and patched him through. Oikonny revealed that the [[Anglar Emperor]] had personally searched him out to lead the attack on Fichina. Once the message finished, Fox and Slippy soared into the battlefield. Lucy followed, despite Fox's original reluctance to let her join in. The three found Oikonny using an Anglarian weapon called the Death Crab. They easily managed to defeat the crazed ape and returned to the [[Great Fox II]]. There, Lucy stormed Fox about his recent break up with Krystal, though Fox quickly agreed with her on everything she said. Lucy the departed for Corneria to find her father, while Fox and Slippy went to [[Aquas]].

==Trivia==

*Whilst it is true Fichina was introduced to most global gamers via ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', the planet actually made its debut on the Japanese version of ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. Apparently, Fichina was renamed as "[[Fortuna]]" in the English version, possibly due to a translation error and/or miscommunication. This had been corrected with the release of ''[[Star Fox 64 3D]]''.
