Corneria (Lylat IV)

## History

*Corneria* is the fourth planet of the *Lylat System* in the Zeta Quadrant of the Black Eye Galaxy. Known as the *"Mother"* planet of the local *Lylatians* and the natives of Corneria (called *Cornerians*), Corneria is current home to 85% of the total life within the *Lylat Star System*.

Due to considerable planning by the native *Cornerians*, the planet remains a verdant garden world. Its cities and industry were built while keeping in harmony with nature, allowing its rich ecosystem to flourish. Roads on Corneria seem to be built above the ground as to allow the plant life to thrive, and from space the planet looks to have a large amount of cloud cover and oceans. It is the center of culture and government of the *Lylat system.*

Due to its remote location in the Zeta Quadrant before being discovered by the U.S.S. Arizona in 2419, Corneria has had almost know contact with the other major powers of the Black Eye Galaxy. However the planet was a site of a major battle between the United Commonwealth of Planets and The Old Ones during the *Void War* period of 2419.

The Commonwealth, eager to protect the inhabitants of the pre-warp world accidentally destroyed subspace throughout the *Lylat System* during the battle when the experimental Cronus weapon known as the *"Sword of Ages"* exploded near Corneria.

Impressively, the loss of subspace throughout and surrounding the *Lylat System* did little to affect the native Cornerians who had already established spacefaring civilisation based on *Plasma Engine Technology.*

Horrified by what they had done, the Commonwealth Council issued the *Cornerian Preservation Act* of January 2420, which forbid Commonwealth interaction with the native anthromorphic animal population unless in times of extreme emergency.

Such an emergency occured in late 2420, when the U.S.S. Arizona was summoned to Corneria by the *Cornerian Army* in order to locate a crashed expedition to the planet *Venom*, the first planet of the *Lylat System*. The expedition was led by esteemed Cornerian scientist Doctor *Andross Bowman* and *Cornerian Army* security specialist Lieutenant *Pepper.*

The Arizona discovered that a Pryde Crixis Class had crashed on the surface of *Venom* and had begun to poison that world with Eternium which was leaking from the craft. The Arizona crew were able to rescue both expedition members and return them to *Corneria* despite *Eternium* posioning clearly effecting the mindset of *Andross.*
