Using hidden sleeping gas in the beads of his necklace, Slippy manages to escape capture and throws the rest of his choker into the control room, putting the two lizards having trouble controlling the Monarch Dodora out of commission. 8: Fire in the sky', Fox, Falco, Peppy and Fara exit the Black Hole and arrive on Fortuna in the search for Slippy, based on guidance from the inter-dimensional space whale that Fox Sr has become a part of. 7: Whale song', the Fortuna base is where Slippy and his confiscated Arwing were taken captive by Imperial raiders under Andross's orders, who intended to use Slippy as a valuable hostage and lure the remaining Star Fox team into a trap and set his mind controlled Monarch Dodora on them. Fortuna shares names with the Roman goddess of fortune.įortuna makes an appearance in the Nintendo Power comics, where Andross's imperial forces built a base and began taking over the native creatures like the Monarch Dodora, which Andross himself fancied as a sort of pet after effectively using radio signals beamed from the base.Titania can be seen in the background during the conflict between the Cornerian army and Oikonny's fleet during Star Fox: Assault, suggesting Fortuna might be placed somewhere between Titania and Sector X.Fortuna appears to have a moon in Star Fox, but it is not visible from space.There are several jungle/ocean-themed assets found in the Gigaleak that likely belonged to early versions of Fortuna. However, Fichina was actually referred to as Fortuna during most of 64's development, meaning the planet was intended to make an appearance.This error was fixed onwards, starting from the 3DS remake. In Star Fox: Assault, the planet's name is translated as Fichina, and it is correctly identified as a separate planet from Fortuna. Fichina was mistakenly called Fortuna in the English translation of Star Fox 64.The Destruction level on Fortuna was a C+. Oikonny's forces were also revealed to have been destroyed, and the Aparoids were expunged. The ending revealed that the only parts damaged by the Aparoid invasion were the northern forests, and that the Lylat System would send relief efforts from the base that they captured from the remnants of Andross. It was here that the Aparoid Invasion truly begun. Fox destroyed the Aparoid and received the Core Memory before reinforcements came. He was quickly defeated while giving a speech about his new empire on Venom, until his ship was unexpectedly destroyed by a solitary Winged Aparoid. Here, Oikonny revealed his secret weapon, a transformation of his flagship that resembled Andross. The Star Fox Team managed to avoid being destroyed by the space fleet firepower, heavy fortifications, and pursued Oikonny's fleeing flagship into a canyon. Fortunately, General Pepper hired the Star Fox Team to backup the fleet and take down Oikonny himself. The Cornerian Fleet engaged in a fierce space battle and managed to break up most of Oikonny's fleet, until the reserved Stealth Squadron forced the Cornerians to back down. It was known at the time of the battle on Fortuna, that the remaining airforces and loyal remnants of Andross had allied themselves with his nephew, for a price. History Oikonny's Rebellion/Aparoid InvasionĪ little more than nine years after the Lylat Wars, Andrew Oikonny had previously been kicked out of Star Wolf's gang of thugs and fled here, to his military base stationed there during the rebellion of Oikonny's army. It could be speculated that the planet is not inhabited by Cornerians, as a base was built there by the Venomian Army. This is further supported by the Star Fox Team apparently using a wormhole to arrive at Fortuna to aid the Cornerian Army. It could also be assumed that the planet is a bit further out from the core Lylat system, as it has yet to appear on any maps other than the original Star Fox (Interestingly, this is shown to be the opposite in the map from Star fox 2 as Fortuna is clearly seen pretty close to Corneria). It can be assumed that something about the planet is hostile, as otherwise it would seem to be the Cornerian Army's first choice for colonization instead of Katina. It is a green, thriving planet with huge plants and vegetation of all kinds, as well as rivers and lakes on the surface, although it is unknown how much of this planet is covered by water and inhabited by giant insects.

Not much information is known about Fortuna, due to the fact that it has not made much of an appearance. 2.1 Oikonny's Rebellion/Aparoid Invasion.
