The '''Lylat System''', sometimes formatted as '''Lylat system''', is a [[wikipedia:Star system|star system]] and the overall setting of the ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' series. It is located near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy<ref>''Star Fox'' manual, page 3</ref> and is named after its blue giant star, [[Lylat (star)|Lylat]]. The most habitable planet in the system is [[Corneria]], the fourth planet of the Lylat System. The inhabitants of Corneria have since expanded and colonized most of the system, establishing industrial zones and military bases on several of the less-habitable planets.

The '''Lylat System''' is a [[wikipedia:Star system|star system]] in which all ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox]]'' games so far have taken place in. It is located in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy{{Citation needed}} and consists of the blue giant Lylat. The most habitable planet in the system is Corneria, the fourth planet from Lylat. The inhabitants of Corneria have since expanded and colonized most of the system, establishing industrial zones and military bases on several of the less-habitable planets.


==Structure==
==Locations==
The Lylat System is comprised of numerous planets, sectors, an asteroid belt, and even a minor black hole, all which orbit around a large middle-aged star, as well as a smaller red dwarf (although some believe it to be another planet). Many of the planets are apparently capable of supporting life.

===Stars===
The Lylat System is named after its main sun, Lylat. It is sometimes believed that the Lylat System is a binary star system, due to a controversy whether [[Solar]] is a star or a planet with star-like attributes. In Japanese materials, Solar is consistently portrayed as a planet, making Lylat the only star of the Lylat System.
The Lylat System is named after its main sun, [[Lylat]]. The Lylat System is [[wikipedia:binary star|formed out of two stars]]: Lylat and [[Solar]]. Solar is apparently a [[wikipedia:Red dwarf|red dwarf]], and so, by default, does not act as the system's main sun. There is a controversy as to whether Solar really is a star, or just another planet with star-like attributes.

===Sectors===
The Lylat System is composed of sectors containing colorful space debris which give them very [[wikipedia:Nebula|nebula]]-like appearances. Oddly enough, all following three sectors are each shaped like the last three letters in the alphabet, thus giving them the following names:

===Other celestial objects and anomalies===
===Other locations===
The Lylat System features an [[wikipedia:Asteroid belt|asteroid belt]] called the [[Meteo]], somewhat located between [[Corneria]], [[Fortuna]], and [[Fichina]]. In the [[Star Fox (game)|first game]], the Lylat System featured a mysterious anomaly dubbed as the [[Black Hole]]. Unlike a [[wikipedia:Black hole|real black hole]], this anomaly is too small, and yet has a very powerful force of gravity capable of pulling in any nearby objects. It believed the Black Hole is actually a portal to another dimension - a [[mariowiki:Warp Zone|warp zone]] - compiled of a network of [[wikipedia:Wormhole|wormholes]]. The Lylat System is also composed of several, artificial space stations.
