'''Fichina''' is an icy planet within the Parlak sector<ref>"We will soon arrive at the Parlak Sector." — ROB 64, ''Star Fox Command''</ref> of the [[Lylat System]]. It first appeared in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', though it was mistakenly refered to as [[Fortuna]].
'''Fichina''' is a planet of the Parlak sector of the [[Lylat System]]. It first appeared in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. It is an icy planet covered in permanent snow and ice and a dense layer of fog. It has a [[Cornerian Army]] outpost and a weather generator. The planet was originally known as '''Fortuna''' in ''Star Fox 64'' but has since been renamed to Fichina to distinguish it from the unrelated planet, [[Fortuna]].


== Overview ==
For most of the Lylat System's history, Fichina was uninhabitable due to having very cold weather. One day, a climate control center was built to control Fichina's climate, making it somewhat inhabitable. Fichina is home to several Cornerian outposts.

Throughout most of Lylat history, the planet of Fichina was uninhabitable due to the planet being extremely cold.<ref>"There's nothing here but snow and ice." — Falco, ''Star Fox: Assault''</ref> Eventually, an unknown group built a center meant to control the climate and keep it at bay.<ref>"But after they built the climate control center, the planet became inhabitable." — Fox, ''Star Fox: Assault''</ref> Other than the climate control center, Fichina is home to several [[Corneria]]n bases. It is also known to be covered with a dense layer of fog.
Fichina is comparable to the planet [[wikipedia:Hoth|Hoth]] from ''[[wikipedia:The Empire Strikes Back|Star Wars Episode V]]'' as both are worlds covered in snow and ice, and a notable battle occurs on both planets.

In ''Star Fox 64'', a Cornerian base was captured by the [[Venomian Army]]. Star Fox's mission was to recapture the base and prevent [[Andross]] from obtaining its classified information. On Fichina, [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] and his teammates had to battle [[Invader I Fighter]]s. After a while, the Invader I Fighters begun to retreat, and [[Slippy Toad|Slippy]] wondered why they were doing so. [[ROB 64]] revealed to Fox that someone planed a bomb into the base earlier. Immediately after ROB 64's message, [[Star Wolf]] arrived on Fichina and started a dogfight against Star Fox, likely to distract them from deactivating the bomb. After a fierce battle, the Star Fox team won the battle, and Fox plunged into the base to deactivate the bomb on time.  
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.
In ''[[Star Fox: Assault]]'', Pigma had shut down the climate control center on Fichina, which slowly caused it to become uninhabitable again. General Peppy Hare assigned Fox and his teammates with a mission to defeat the [[aparoid]]s surrounding the climate control center and reactivate the machine on time.
 
When Star Fox landed on the planet, they discovered that the climate control center was protected by three shield generators. Peppy sent a [[Landmaster]] down to Fichina for Fox, and he entered it and destroyed the shield generators. Fox was able to enter the climate control center and reactivate it, although an alarm sounded, trapping him inside the base. Malfunctioning [[Sentry Bot]]s begun to attack Fox, but luckily, [[Falco]] arrived in his [[Arwing]] and saved Fox.
 
With Fox on his wing, Falco went to join their teammates, Slippy and [[Krystal]]. Fox used the [[Plasma Cannon]] to destroy aparoids on the ground and in the air, protecting Falco from being attacked by powerful turrets. After Fox and Falco circled the entire field, Pigma revealed himself and infected the climate control center with aparoids. The generator became overloaded and triggered a 5-minute self-destruct timer. Falco dropped off Fox to fetch his Arwing, and Fox came out to fight the [[Aparoidedation Generator]].
 
Fox flew near the generator and shot down some enemies to open the generator's hatch. When the generator was open for attack, it charged up an energy beam and released it. Fox also used some [[Smart Bomb]]s that were dropped by aparoids and managed to defeat the aparoids without damaging the generator.
 
After defeating the aparoids, Fox stayed on Fichina and pondered the aparoids' infectious ability. The climate control center was severely damaged and was said to be in need of repair completely.

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.

*'''Planetary Compendium:''' "''Fortuna, an icy world devoid of vegetation, is home to only a few members of the Cornerian Defense Force and a team of scientists. Because of the large amount of frozen water on the planet, it is an ideal candidate for terra forming, and there is some thought that it might be possible to convert it into a garden world, much like Corneria.''"
*'''Mission Briefing:''' "''Fortuna has been overrun by Andross's forces. The Star Fox Team must liberate it from their clutches before Andross has a chance to use the top secret information stored there for his own evil ends! Go to Fortuna and scout out the base, but be on the lookout for enemy fighters. Your old rivals, the Star Wolf team of space pirates, is also rumored to be in the area, so watch your six!''"
*'''Intelligence:''' "''Defeat the Star Wolf team before the sabotage bomb in the base explodes, and you'll take the path to Solar.''"
;'''MEDAL TIPS:'''
"''Medal Score: 50 hits''"<br>
"''Lock on and vaporize enemies as much as possible in this mission. You'll want to take care that the Star Wolf team doesn't shoot down any of your wingmen if you're going for a medal. Each of the Star Wolf team members is worth 10 hit points when you shoot them down, so you don't need to worry too much about shooting down a lot of drones.''"

==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.
