==History==

[[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.

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>"From the look of things, the climate control generator's...well it looks like it's been out of order for quite a while." — Peppy Hare, ''Star Fox: Assault''</ref> Peppy told Fox that he had to reactivate the generator to keep the planet habitable<ref>"If this blizzard keeps up, the planet will once again become barren." — Peppy Hare, ''Star Fox: Assault''</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]]s 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]]s 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.

''This story occurs if Fox and Slippy head to Fichina to aid Lucy Hare.''

==== Oikonny Strikes Back ====

After leaving Corneria, Fox and ROB tracked down Wolf O'Donnell on Fichina in the hope that they could recruit him to help fight against the Anglar. Fox managed to defeat some of the Anglarian forces before facing off against Star Wolf alone. Even on his own, Fox managed to defeat his rivals. Wolf decided to ally with Fox surpisingly quickly when he arrived on the Great Fox II. The two then headed to Solar to meet up with Falco, despite Wolf's protests.

==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]]''.

*Fichina is similar to the planet Hoth from ''[[wikipedia:The Empire Strikes Back|Star Wars Episode V]]''. Both are snowy world's covered in permanent snow and ice, and there is a battle that occurs on both.
