Meado Defense Force

The **Meado Defense Force** is a military that protects the planet of Meado, the former surrogate homeworld of Lylatian refugees. They aided in fighting the Kreet and Ra-Shi and consist of a large number of Cornerian and foreign soldiers, including a sizable number of Aaltice. Being a Cornerian colony, it is controlled by the General of Corneria, Bysker Nedilara.
Glade 3

**Glade 3** is the third planet in the Glade system. As with the other six planets in the system, it possesses a great wealth of resources, mineral and biological, and once had the largest known concentration of nexite deposits. It is the most heavily populated, with over five billion inhabitants.

Despite its status as a recent colony (est. 3033) like the other worlds in the system, it is very popular, receiving billions of visitors per year. It is 70% water, standard atmospheric pressure, and has three large continents, the largest being Prosperity. It also possesses the greatest diversity of biomes. If you're considering vacationing here, be sure to bring plenty of bags for souvenirs and an extra battery for your camera!

## Government

There is no single government that rules the planet. Each continent is divided into territories ruled by different civilizations and corporations. One notable corporate-run territory is the mountainous Port Caldera, run by the mining company Sumeddis Ventures. The UPA had a large presence on the planet until the nexite bust in 3039.

## OOC

Glade 3 was the primary setting of Etoile until January 2020, concurrent to the in-universe nexite bust.
Dramoran gum flower

The **Dramoran gum flower** is a very large and poisonous flower from the planet of Dramore.

## Description

Standing at about 10 feet on average, these glowing translucent flowers are made of a semi-rigid gelatinous structure and covered in a sticky, itchy ooze. This ooze is a protective mechanism that is incredibly hard to get off skin or clothing. It is also slightly luminous, very itchy, and contains a powerful toxin that can penetrate the skin and cause intense pain over the entire body of the individual who has been inflicted.

## Uses

This plant currently has no uses, but the antidote for its toxic ooze is found in another plant native to Dramore, the giant Dramoran cup fungus.
Enanian

**Enonians** are a offshoot of the Rigelian species, native to the world Enano IV, an ancient mining colony

## Biology

Enanians are a subspecies of Rigelians who evolved to adapt to life on a high gravity world. They are, on average, far shorter than most other "humanoid" species, standing on average 140-145 centimeters tall. Short as they may be they have much higher bone and muscle density than their ancestors, leaving them with a similar mass as "Full Sized races"
These adaptations have given them higher durability and strength than would be expected of a Rigelian, Being able to survive impacts and falls from several stories with only minor bruising on most average gravity worlds. They are also known to be able to carry much heavier loads without encumbering themselves.

Having evolved on a dark mining colony world, Enanians are well adapted to darkness, having large eyes capable of seeing clearly with much less light. As a result, in lighting conditions that most other species find comfortable, Enanians must wear shaded glasses or goggles or be all but blinded by the glare.

==

Culture ==
As Enanians have spread throughout the galaxy, they have tended to readily integrated into the cultures of where they have immigrated. There are, however, several things that are common to most Enanians across the galaxy.

Enanians as a whole value honesty, almost brutally so. They are able to bend the truth when needed, or tell white lies to protect the feelings of friends, but feel guilty about doing so. As such, Enanians have become extremely adept at remaining silent in the face of any interrogation, rather than even telling a lie such as "I don't know"

Due to the importance of their glasses in being able to live alongside other races, they have gained great cultural significance, often being ornately crafted jewelry, passed down along family lines, and often bearing enchantments to grant visual enhancements the way standard technological visors might. As such it is considered a grave offense to touch an Enanian's glasses without their explicit consent.

### Arcane Arts

Enanians are descended from Rigelians, and are as such able to manipulate Arcane energies similar to their ancestors. Typically they lack any talent for outright spell-casting, though are typically just as adept, if not moreso, at binding arcane energies into technology becoming famous for their well made magic-tech equipment.

### Lifespan

Enanians can live extremely long lives, upwards of 2000 earth years. Slightly (in the grand scheme of things) shorter than their ancestor Rigelians as a side effect of their adaptation to their home world.
Animas Era

Aug 3039 - Feb 3040

* The Animas Empire lays claim to the Lylat system and begins its search for the remaining descendants of Fox McCloud, and it is revealed they were the ones who had assassinated him nearly 130 years earlier. The combined efforts of Lylat and the Ursian Empire lead to the defeat of Animas (Feb). Animas mounts a resurgence in April, with Jareth as the new emperor and featuring a new ally, the ravenous Micaya ratfolk.

Feb - April 3040

* The variant of Star Wolf run by Difret Degwesk goes missing, but returns two months later, having rebranded as Dire Wolf.

May 11, 3040

* Dire Wolf interrogates captured Micaya and discovers that they are being controlled by psionic augments. Kroggnar Throkworg, an Orc scientist employed by Dire Wolf, begins work on a device to short out the augments. He succeeds a week later and uses it to capture a high-level Micaya priestess, Krykka.

June 29, 3040

* A coalition of Star Fox and Dire Wolf forces engage in a rescue mission for Star Fox's leader, Katina Hawksby. They use Shul Kro's reverse-engineered Ursian bassnium drive to precision-jump into the prison section of a planet-sized Animas space station. After Dire Wolf's Kroggnar sends out an anti-psionic pulse to short out the augments controlling the Micaya aboard the station, the Micaya begin a revolt against their former Animas masters. Star Fox's Tanis Centuro engages Emperor Jareth in battle, but Jareth is killed after being run over and blown up by Bartholomew Phoenix in a Landmaster tank. Katina is rescued, and they escape just before the station explodes. The Animas Empire subsequently dissolves as a political entity.

July 11 - 26, 3040

* Vallos, the Xal'vau warlord who cut off the galaxy's access to nexite, arrives in the Lylat system with the Sun Eater Platform, a colossal star-mining apparatus. He begins siphoning energy from Lylat and deploys four FTL-inhibitor satellites across the system to prevent interference. After two weeks, 60% of Lylat's power is drained, and Corneria experiences summer snow. Dire Wolf eventually repairs the bassnium drive they used to rescue Katina Hawksby and uses it to bypass the inhibition field to destroy the inhibitors. Preparations begin for a massive assault on Vallos.

August 1, 3040

* Conclusion of Animas War. Lylatian forces incapacitate Sun Eater Platform, and General Jaxer Stareeds rams the Corneria's Pride III into the platform to push it into Lylat. Ursian forces assist with solar stabilizer machines to prevent issues as Lylat slowly reabsorbs its lost energy.
Caiiosi Hygus

**Caiiosi Hygus** is a very important trading hub located in the Caiiosi system and forming the very end of the Caiiosi Run trade route. It is a densely-populated ecumenopolis and the homeworld of the Anokanes, Dwarmooas, and Saymikas. The planet is at a very high, unlisted tech level. It is the central hub of the Caiiosi Hegemony.

## Atmosphere

For most species, the atmosphere of Caiiosi Hygus is poisonous, containing chlorine and phospine in addition to common nitrogen. The three sentient species require breathing masks when visiting foreign worlds, and conversely, other species require breathing masks when visiting Caiiosi Hygus.

## Society

### Government

The planet is governed by a very large hegemony comprised of bureaucrats from each of the planet's native species, which is in turn headed by a triumvirate of the most talented and gifted of the three primary species.

### Population

The planet boasts a population of 52 trillion permanent and non-permanent residents. Despite the atmosphere's dangerous chemistry, there is still a sizable population of aliens present on the world, numbering over 95 billion mostly non-permanent residents. Many of the planet's supertowers contain systems that can fill selected rooms with the atmosphere of a being's choosing, and certain districts are surrounded by clear domes or atmospheric containment fields that retain conventional air.
Ikan'kugin

**Ikan'kugins** are curious and scholarly quasi-marsupial beings from the secluded academic planet of Kossenla.

## Appearance

An Ikan'kugin resembles a peculiar cross between a caninoid and a viverroid, displaying more traits of the latter. They have fur of varying colors, very large ears, and a ropy tail. Most are rather lanky, but not to the point of being scrawny. Females possess a pouch on their lower bellies, though this is used for simply carrying and insulating young, not feeding (differentiating them from true marsupials); females possess two breasts as with many sentient mammalian species.

## Biology

Ikan'kugins cannot breathe oxygen. Instead, they breathe the bromine-methane mix native to their homeworld and thus must wear breather masks (or a personal atmospheric containment shield) when offworld. Their large earlobes possess bones for structural purposes. The average height for males is 6'1", and 5'10" for females. Their average lifespan is 840, but they can live up to 1000 with cybernetics.

## Personality

They have a lower-than-average constitution when it comes to close contact fighting, being physically and psychologically inadequate for combat, and prefer to handle issues with robotic avatars or war robots (thus, their military possesses a massive, advanced robot army).

## Society

They devote most of their long lives to education, so the oldest members are typically extremely intelligent. Encountering an Ikan'kugin will not usually yield entertaining results. They are rather logical (though certainly not humorless) and quite relaxed. They are very introverted to aliens, though they will silently observe them due to their natural curiosity and even take notes of what they see. However, once a friendship is formed with an alien, they can be quite chatty. They are commonly found in groups, discussing random subjects of varying importance - typically math, science, or economics.

### Entertainment

Their primary forms of entertainment consist of word games, riddles, and browsing museums (Kossenla has millions of them). Instead of sporting events, they host strategy tournaments (which can include extremely complex games), intellectual debates, and game shows with varying synonymy to Jeopardy or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. The more "thrill-seeking" individuals travel the far-reaches of the galaxy for added academic enrichment. It is VERY rare to find an Ikan'kugin taking part in active sports, parties, or theme parks, and virtually impossible to find in mercenary or bounty-hunting occupations.

## OOC

The original Ikan'kugin was a heavily-modified Curious Inc Ringtail avatar that used the Toffee Dog skin mod from the Chimera avatar parts store. It's gone now! However, a simple Ringtail will work. All you need to do is recolor the Ikan'kugin ears and tail.
Futeci

The **Futeci** (singular and plural), also known as **Velu Dragons**, are natives to Veluvoras.

## Appearance and biology

Futeci are roughly 8 feet tall on average and very strong. Males and females are roughly the same size. Like their cousins the Ostayuns, they are very hardy, regenerative, and long-lived. Unlike their cousins, they possess a large pair of leathery wings on their backs and hypergolic chemical glands on either side of their mouths, granting them the ability to "breathe" fire. As well, they are very rarely seen in galactic society, preferring to stay on their homeworld. Their average lifespan is 475 years.

## OOC

Any particularly large bipedal dragon avatar will work.
Scaipelan

**Scaipelans** (*SKY-peh-lahn*) are muridine, i.e. mouse-like, beings native to the planet of Lenalok. They are yet another alien species of seeming analogy to a Lylatian species, but the similarities are only external.

## Biology

Scaipelans possess three lungs; two hearts; eight kidneys; a gizzard; and a large segmented organ serving as the liver and digestive system. Their average lifespan is 100 years, though they can live up to 140.

## Personality

Most have a level-headed temperament, though a wide range of emotions and mindsets exist throughout the species; the sheer diversity rivals that of Humans.

## Society

Their diversity has led to many bloody wars being fought on their planet, evident by a number of blast craters near some of the more populated areas. The world is comprised of many nations, instead of a one-world government. Some groups are known for their martial arts prowess and are good for spies.
Fenemdan

**Fenemdan** is a poverty-stricken world in close proximity to Malotow. It is under a strict global dictatorship which has a nasty habit of violating sentient rights. Refugees commonly migrate to Malotow and other nearby worlds. The planet has a substandard tech level. Fenemdan is located in the Fenem System.
Light (Enemy)

The Light enemy is a late-game occurring enemy. The have slightly more health than a Regular, and have protection from explosions.

## Appearance

It is a teal square shape with a lighter teal outline.

## Strategy

### Specialty

75% less damage from explosive towers (Cannon, Blast, and Missile). 50% extra damage from Venom towers. 25% extra damage from Multishot towers.

## Tower Effectiveness

### Towers

Basic (100%) Sniper (100%) Cannon (25%) Freeze (100%)Venom (150%) Splash (100%) Blast (25%) Multishot (125%)Minigun (100%) Air (0%) Tesla (100%) Missile (25%)

This enemy is possibly one of the biggest threats in the game, up there with the Icy in terms of difficulty. Its 75% resistance to explosive towers makes it hard to take down without Snipers or Miniguns. Multishots don't do that much late game damage, so what can you do to stop it? Support towers. They take 50% extra damage from Venoms, and while they are resistant to the Blast tower's damage, they still get stunned like any other enemy would. The Freezing will slow it down, giving you more time to take them down. More often than not, you can tell if your strategy on a level is failing when these enemies are leaking rapidly.
Jeosash district

The **Jeosash district**, or simply **Little Jeosash** or **Sashyville** (*JEE-oh-sash*), is a small citadel perched atop Jeosash Tower, one of the many urban monoliths present on the city-world of Elotesil.

Little Jeosash is a top-level district filled with many stores and eateries, most notably Home-Cozy Diner - the sole HCD location on the entire planet. Many of these eateries cater to everyday workers, such as the crews working in the upper levels for maintenance and support; while the fancier eateries serve the more affluent citizens of Jeosash Tower. Diners such as Home-Cozy, run by Kiynatst and Niyola Dunadio, see high traffic from cargo techs, supertanker pilots, and a great host of other beings.

## Notable locations

* Home-Cozy Diner
* Flavors of Muladoon Steakhouse
* Spindletop Cafe
* Nikeyl Spaceport
* Little Jeosash Theater
* Little Jeosash Hospital
* Little Jeosash Enforcer Office

## OOC

Many of the stated locations have not been built yet (as the city is still a work-in-progress), but there will be more physically visitable areas in the future.
Montague IV

**Montague IV** (*mawn-TAYG four*) is a populated planet in the Montague system.

This is one of the most prominent Human colony worlds and is a very important trading hub. It is the only notable *natural* rocky planet in the system (Montague I was once a gas giant). It has a standard tech level.

It was discovered that Mrkos Brorsen lived on this world at one point, much to the surprise of many.
Splash (Tower)

The Splash tower fires bullets in multiple direction around itself. The more projectiles it fires, the different angles they is fired from.

## Appearance

It is an orange hexagon, with a barrel (in similar size and shape to the Cannon's) replacing the corner of the shape. It is on another, darker shaded hexagon. Oddly enough, it doesn't rotate or gain more barrels as its number of projectiles increase.

## Splash

### Unique Feature

The number of projectiles increases with the level of the tower.

### Strength

Regular (75%) Fast (100%) Strong (75%) Air (0%)Jet (0%) Armored (25%) Light (100%) Toxic (100%)Icy (50%) Bonus (2%) Fighter (100%) Boss (100%)

This is a rather odd tower that shines well into the mid game. However, a lack of extra damage on enemies make it lose its power later in game. Similar to the Multishot, it gains more bullets are its level increase. Before any enemies enter its range, the tower will fire "pre-shots" to warm up before hitting the enemy. The tower has an Accuracy upgrade that may seem useless, but is vital to the towers' DPS. It makes it easier to hit its enemies that may have not been hit before. Do NOT put this tower on a corner! It will lose a lot of its projectiles, making your total damage lower than need be (exception: upgrading the Splash's range will eventually overlap with another path on the map, so it isn't completely wasted). Try to diversify each of the tower's upgrades, as all 4 of them are important to the tower.

## Trivia

* in the 2nd game it was buffed so as its xp level increases its projectile count effects it barrel count and it can hit air and jet enemies
Allure Dwarf galaxy

The **Allure Dwarf galaxy** is a satellite galaxy orbiting the Etoile galaxy (Milky Way). It lies a few thousand light-years below the galactic disk near Aaltice Space.

## Geometry

The satellite has an ellipsoid shape. It is about 14,000 light-years across, slightly wider than Aaltice Space at its widest point, and about 2,500 light-years thick at its disk and 3,000 at its center.

## Distance

It is roughly 5,000 light-years under the galactic disk below Aaltice Space. The distance is approximately uniform due to how the plane of the dwarf is parallel with that of the Etoile Galaxy.

## Exploration

The Aaltice and some other species have established a few colonies in the satellite. Sections of the satellite fall under the jurisdiction of the Qromeelln Military.
Hykulue

**Hykulue** is an oceanic planet in the Lanyawue system, orbiting the yellow sun Lanya and red sun Wue. Located near Romoni, the planet is a minor trading hub. It is the homeworld of the shark-like Unyatem species.

## Description

Hykulue is 98% ocean and is dotted with many small volcanic islands and archipelagos, the largest islands seldom being larger than 100 miles (160km) across.

The ocean depth is one of extremes. Large regions average at a comparatively shallow 1000 feet (300m), while other regions go as deep as ten miles (16km). Abyssal trenches crisscross the seafloor, plunging anywhere from three to thirty miles (4.8-48km) deeper than the surrounding seafloor.

The largest island is Inan Lazala, a collection of extinct volcanic peaks forming a single landmass only 200 miles (322km) wide. It is home to Dal Lazala, the planet's largest terrestrial city and main spaceport, and serves as a junction of many major tunnels going between the many submarine cities and surrounding islands.
Evordino

**Evordinos** (*eh-VOR-dih-no*) are a vulpinoid species found on planet Sieos. They originated on Nataresh alongside their cousins the Midenacs, taking residence in the polar and subpolar regions, but migrated to Sieos shortly after its discovery in the 2500's.

## Description

Evordinos bear striking similarity to their Midenac cousins, but are much heavier and a bit shorter. Most Evordinos are white-furred and live on Sieos, either in the huge band of cities encompassing the subarctic equatorial regions, or in smaller cities on or beneath the frigid tundra of the rest of the planet. They do, however, have a few colony worlds near Sieos and can also be found throughout the galaxy.

## Biology

They are surprisingly hardy beings and possess four lungs and very strong hearts, as well as natural anti-freeze chemicals in their bloodstream (the blood itself is teal-colored). Each individual is naturally heavyset due to the cold temperatures of their preferred biome; being slender is considered severe emaciation and is extremely unhealthy for their physiology. Thus, calling an Evordino "fat" would be considered a complement by the recipient. Hot weather has the ability to kill them due to their low-temperature cellular metabolism, so they must wear cooling suits when visiting places such as desert worlds or muggy ecumenopolises. Their ideal temperature is 45F/7.22C; they consider anything above 60F/15.55C hot, and 80F/26.7C is intolerably hot. Conversely, -30F/-34.4C begins to feel cold, and -50F/-45.5C is very cold, but not intolerable. They have an average lifespan of 415 years.

### Genetic history

Scientific studies have shown that Evordinos, like Midenacs, exhibit genetic similarities to the similarly fox-like Banbeyu of Holt Junction. It has been speculated that they were part of a sample stock taken by an unknown precursor species many thousands of years ago, transplanted to Nataresh, and modified to thrive in its colder regions.

## Society

The average Evordino family is very boisterousness and hospitable; dull moments are rare, and friends and visitors (as long as they are respectful) are treated as part of the family.
Nanite Andross Era

The **Nanite Andross Era** is an OOC term used to describe the contention between the forces of the Lylat system and the old enemy known as Andross. The era began in September 2008 and continued until later that year. It was not immediately preceded by any notable era, but was distantly preceded, in-character, by the First Ra-Shi Era which had occurred over 900 years prior. It was succeeded by the Kreet Era.

## In-character

In April of the year 2993, a plague of nanobots swept Corneria and eventually the entire Lylat system. The advanced nanobots manage to avoid detection for a short time, but their discovery led to a very bloody and terrifying pandemic of nanobot-controlled psychos who killed those who oppose. Three months later, in July of 2993, the identity of the collective nanobots was revealed to be Andross. That month saw Andross's final defeat and subsequent nanobot destruction.
Bejeresenco

**Bejeresenco**, also called **jeres** or **senc**, is a sweet, edible syrup produced from the flower of the Zharan dsaodruza vine. It is effectively the Zharan equivalent of chocolate.

## History and production

Bejeresenco has been cultivated for at least five millennia on Zhara VII and eventually its colonies and the surrounding worlds. The majority of the ancient Zharan people, especially Flaistas, made bejeresenco beverages, who originally called it "bajjirsako", a word from the extinct language of Fejiko meaning "sweet slow water". The flowers of the vine initially have a strong waxy taste, and must be pulverized to release the true flavor.
After pulverization, the resulting mush is dried, lightly roasted, and then soaked with eyaqay milk, forming it into a syrup and giving it further sweetness. The syrup is then stored in jars or pots for future use. The syrup can be further processed into dough or butter.

## Variants

Desweetened baking bejeresenco (bitter bejeresenco) is often in the form of powder. Much of the bejeresenco consumed today is in the form of sweet (natural) bejeresenco, combined with butter or other fats, and sugar (or its intragalactic analogs). Milky bejeresenco is sweet bejeresenco that additionally contains non-eyaqay milk powder or condensed milk. White bejeresenco contains esescia butter, sugar, and fangrass flour.

## Constituents

Bejeresenco contains alkaloids such as unaphtanine and trenophenarine, which have physiological effects on the body. It has been shown to incite the production of pleasure chemicals in the brains of many sentients. Some research found that bejeresenco can cure certain diseases and help with joint pain. The presence of unaphtanine renders bejeresenco toxic to some animals, especially warp roaches and Kurudris sand spiders. It is also very high in nutrients and carbohydrates.

## Impact on society

Bejeresenco has become one of the most popular food types and flavors in and around Zhara VII and along the Qromeelln Trade Spine and ZharEnBo Arc trade routes. Gifts of bejeresenco molded into different shapes have become traditional on certain holidays: bejeresenco arthropods and egg sacs are popular during Papovar's Gacupot Day, bejeresenco crystals on Zhara VII's Jisiczallo Festival, various holiday symbols on Qromeelln's Ezhtakeeqlu Day, and boxes of bejeresenco in a number of affection-related shapes on Boiaw's Equinox Days. Bejeresenco is also used in cold and hot beverages, to produce bejeresenco milk and hotjeres. Around three quarters of the galaxy's dsaodruza vine production takes place on Zhara VII.
Keshandion

**Keshandion** is a partially urbanized tradeworld a few hundred light-years from Riesel. Despite how it still has vast swaths of green, untouched landscape and oceans, it boasts a population of over two trillion due to how large its most major cities are.

## Surface

Roughly 80% of the surface consists of plains, forests, mountains, water, and other biomes. The remaining 20% is very densely urbanized.

### Cities

For a planet with a comparatively small amount of urbanization, the cities it does have stretch miles into the sky, bearing testament to its wealthy past.

## History

Keshandion was colonized around the year 2540 by an assortment of alien species. The local landscape was beautiful enough to be deemed worthy of protection, and thus only 20% of the land surface was allowed to be urbanized.

However, it wasn't long before new hyperroutes opened up elsewhere, along with better worlds with more trade value. Keshandion was essentially left to die for the following 600 years, waning and waxing in its population and upkeep, and its cities soon began to bear eerie resemblance to just another decaying excuse for a trade center.

### Rise of Obsidian Blade

Just as it was with Riesel, the Obsidian Blade Syndicate took the opportunity to infiltrate and subvert the weak and dying world government. They decided to stay in the shadows, monitoring the government and manipulating it as they saw fit. On May 30, 3023, they enacted their previously dormant takeover plot. It is now a major hub for the organization, second only to Riesel.

Banywa

**Banywa** (*banny-wah*) is the collective term for the vulpine species of Holt Junction / Banywat. This includes the Banbeyu, Jirrig, Kafroy, Moyresk, and Roggra.

## Biology

Banywa have an affinity for water, owing to the prevalence of oceans on their homeworld. They are omnivorous, but often have a preference for fish. Their digits are partially webbed.

They are slightly above the average Human's strength and stamina, but also slightly shorter. They range from 4'3" to 5'11," seldom taller than 6' (1.6m to 1.8m).

Internally, they possess five-chambered stomachs; a large, two-chambered organ serving the purpose of intestines; two hearts (primary and secondary); strong legs; a long, ropy organ serving the purpose of a liver and kidneys; and a number of other organs foreign to Humanity.

Their skeletal structure is also quite complex, displaying remarkable endurance; as a result, a Banywa will rarely, if ever, break a bone within their natural life, even in high activity.

Another peculiarity is that their lungs possess both alveoli and gill structures, allowing them to breathe above and below water.

## Component species

Note that the listed cultural traits are stereotypes and thus **not mandatory**.

### Banbeyu

* Basic fox anthro resemblance
* Usually prefer forests
* Often very acrobatic
* Best swimmers

### Jirrig

* Fennec resemblance
* Desert-dwellers, ironically
* Shortest Banywa, 4'3" to 4'10"
* Spicy food
* Can scream very, very loud

### Kafroy

* Jex (Aventity) resemblance
* Tall
* Colorful, wild fur patterns
* Fruit drinks galore
* Preference for mountains and jungles

### Moyresk

* Tanuki/raccoon dog resemblance
* Usually fat
* Masters of alcoholic beverages and bar snacks
* Their "swimming" aptitude is more within the context of being drunk half the time
* They actually suck at swimming
* Surprisingly good at martial arts

### Roggra

* Ferox (KZK) resemblance
* Most water-appreciating Banywa of them all
* Deep-divers, resistant to high pressure
* Vine-like extensions with glowy bulbs
* Basically the anglerfish of the fox world
* Avid treasure hunters

## Subspecies

The similarly fox-like Midenacs of Nataresh, while being a separate species, have exhibited genetic similarities to the Banbeyu. It has been speculated that they were a sample stock taken by an unknown precursor species many thousands of years ago, transplanted to Nataresh, and modified to thrive in its environment.
Obsidian Blade Syndicate

The **Obsidian Blade Syndicate** is a political and corporate entity that serves as the *de facto* ruling party of Riesel and Keshandion. Headquartered on Riesel, it produces a variety of technologies, including weapons and starships, and also has a large stake in the luxury market. It is led by a Khan, Dschudda Dinnine.

## History

The Obsidian Blade Syndicate got its start a few years after the devastation of the Lylat system. Scouts from a Titanian group that had once been known as Hydra found Riesel to be in a miserable condition and thus ripe for conquest. A series of well-planned assassinations and mass propaganda campaigns pushed the group, which thus became known as the Obsidian Blade Syndicate, to the very top of Riesel's food chain. It was originally led by Rebecca Trinn.
Boiaw

**Boiaw** is the lush homeworld of the musteloid Belkuit and Grunprag species.

## Surface

The planet is notably beautiful, possessing diverse wildlife, extensive oceans, and lush sprawls of forests and savannas. Many sections of the planet are protected from urbanization by law.

### Cities

Over 40% of the continental surface has been covered in complete urbanization. The largest cities reach many miles into the sky, and the ones located on the equator boast elevator spires that extend into orbit. There are also many aerial and orbital cities.

## Astrographics

Boiaw is located conveniently at the crossroads of the ZharEnBo Arc and Alpam Pipeline trade routes in the eastern section of the galaxy. It also lies on the fringes of the Unexplored Expanse.

## Demographics

### Population

The world boasts a population of over 475 billion. Most are Belkuits and Grunprags, but 5% consist of aliens.

### Government

The main governing entity is the Boiaw Trade Authority, a massive trade corporation. Boiaw is thus a corporate bureaucracy, also known as a corporatocracy.

## Economy

Boiaw is very economically important to its sector and also serves an important role in galactic society. It is home to many manufacturing corporations and other corporate entities, but is most notable for its fishing industry. The native seafood is said by many to be among the most delicious in existence (rivaling that of Bvarladun), and seafood production accounts for a major portion of planetary income.

### Currency

Boiaw uses the beryoc, a monetary unit common in the Beroon-Yocicai Sector and bordering sectors. It is worth a little bit more than a basic credit.
76 Laniva system

The 76 Laniva System is a medium-sized system in the northern regions of the galaxy. It is home to 76 Laniva C, a budding tradeworld, and 76 Laniva D, a cool desert world with an astounding 60 minute day/night cycle.

## Components

### **76 Laniva A**

This is the system's sun, an F8IV-class star. It is usually just called **Laniva**.

### **76 Laniva B**

Scorching lava planet with an atmosphere of vaporized metals. This world is commonly called **Rage**.

### **76 Laniva C**

Lush colony planet and budding tradeworld. This world is commonly called **Benevolence**.

### **76 Laniva D**

Desert world with a 60 minute day/night cycle. Nightmarish alien horrors emerge at night but incinerate in sunlight. It is often called **Hourglass** or **Dee**.

* *Main article:* 76 Laniva D
Etoile Mining and Minerals

This is a relatively young company founded by *Cleesha* captain and renowned war hero Frank Croskey. It employs a large fleet of medium-sized mining vessels that usually mine asteroid fields. Despite the fact that Frank has been widely criticized for his alleged "raving barbarian" and "cold, abusive drunkard" methods of leadership, the company always meets its yearly quota and has seen recent spikes in profits.

## Recent Events

The company's Board of Directors replaced Frank as the CEO and captain of the *Cleesha*, choosing Saau Na' Chutym, a 230 year-old Reajura female, for both roles in early June 3020. Frank returned to his post as captain in 2031. The *Cleesha* was decommissioned in 3032.
Lytoo Soda Corp

This is a major soda company and a subdivision of Lytoo Ballistics, based on Qromeelln. Their soda is notably delicious and uses all-natural ingredients. Their motto is "Qromeelln's Finest," and their labels commonly display "YES!" in big, exciting letters.

## Naming confusion

Their main product, Lytoo Soda, is often misinterpreted as being named "YES!" due to that word having larger letters than the product name itself.
Bartholomew Phoenix

**Bartholomew Phoenix**, or simply **Bart**, is a member of Star Fox. He was the acting leader of Star Fox while Katina Hawksby was being held captive by the Animas Empire in early 3040.

He is a descendant of Fara Phoenix and is known for his near-psychotic addiction to coffee. He also has a notable rivalry with Dire Wolf leader Difret Degwesk.
Merensesti

**Merensesti**, also known as **Sestra VI**, is a temperate planet near Earth. It is a semi-major trading world and is home to the sentient Eyollak species.

## Surface

Merensesti is very much like Earth in that it possesses diverse biomes. The most common biome is oceanic, with 80% of the surface being underwater.

### Cities

Merensi cities are interspersed between farming communities and various other smaller communes. The major cities, though sparse, are extraordinarily large. Some of the tallest towers along the equator span clear into orbit and connect to orbital facilities, effectively making them skyhooks. There are also aquatic cities that float atop (or sit below) the oceans.

### Hazards

Due to the planet's history of inner warfare, there are many areas of the surface which are nothing more than irradiated craters, ruins, and wastelands. Billions of unexploded landmines lie strewn about on various abandoned (and sometimes active) battlefields. For people outside of the major cities, landmines and feral war constructs pose a constant threat.

## History

Merensesti has a long history of great diversity between its many nations and races. Due to sharp differences between the many differing views on science, politics, and religion, the planet was, until around the year 2600, constantly at war with itself in one way or another. It wasn't until consociationalist policies were agreed upon amongst the elites of the various groups that the many differences became smoothed out and kept within their borders. Since then, some of the smaller Merensi nations have come to terms with each other and either merged as federal republics or formed alliances, though the extreme majority of nations still keep their distance from one another in order to prevent more bloodshed. Despite this, skirmishes along their borders are still common.

### Major conflicts

The last major conflict that occurred on the planet was the Contention of Eighteen Nations in 2589, in which eighteen of the major nations and various smaller ones entered a free-for-all nuclear war. Three supercities were completely toppled, and over two billion lives were lost before the missiles stopped falling.

Merensesti was left untouched during the Ra-Shi War.

## Allegiances

Certain nations are affiliated with outside factions and governments. A few of the larger nations allied with the Phoenix Alliance, while others have allied with the Crux of Yannis, Earth's Wanesta Redlaun Linowood corporatocracy, and Riesel's Obsidian Blade Syndicate mafia. Countless other affiliations also exist.

## Languages

Of the plethora of languages that exist amongst the world's denizens, Ibenosh and Uhowtey are the two most common tongues.
Kaitaxa

**Kaitaxa** is a violently volcanic world in the Vikesu system. It lies near the TerMon Trade Route, a little less than 2000 light-years "south-southwest" of Aulunika.

## Features

### Surface

Kaitaxa is a medium-sized planet in a close binary orbit with the similarly-sized Makivaxa. They, as a collective, form a wide binary orbit with the small gas giant Labujaxa, forming a trinary system. Due to the constant tidal stress, there is persistent tectonic activity and countless volcanic eruptions. An abbreviated ocean of lava covers over 80% of the planet's surface.

### Atmosphere

The sky is blacked-out most of the time by ash and noxious gases, contributing to its already toxic atmosphere of acetylene (C2H2), carbonyl sulfide (OCS), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Despite this, the planet is home to a few research and mining colonies; the latter is due to its high content of valuable minerals. A notable peculiarity is that a number of "seas" of mostly breathable air exist in some of the craters, valleys, and other low areas. This is due to "hot spots" of anomalous geologic composition that spew water vapor, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Ettasanav

The **ettasanav** is a Zharan root vegetable, usually yellow in colour, though purple, red, white, and blue varieties exist. It has a smooth texture when fresh. The most commonly eaten part of an ettasanav is the sweet, bulbous taproot, although the tart greens are commonly eaten as well. Both parts can be used as ingredients for a variety of dishes.
Dalzelle

**Dalzelle** is a seething blue gas giant in the Thriga system of the Maydelle Sector on the Maydelle Arc trade route in the Central Zone. It is a major source of methane (which gives it its blue coloration) as well as ullvigen and norrbine. It is home to the popular Blue Inferno bar and many gas mining facilities, including Dalzelle Station. There is also a Spacey's restaurant and various facilities that harvest airborne gemstones from the planet's deep layers. It is home to many millions of individuals.
Army of Maydelle

This is the protective military force of Maydelle and the rest of the Thriga system, as well as a major ally of Meado. It is a very large and advanced army that possesses medium to heavy fleetships and a large number of fightercraft. They use an advanced, unlisted tech level and thus have a lot of destructive yield.
Hupwi

**Hupwis** are a very short race of mammals from an unknown world. They bear vague semblance to rabbits.

## Biology

Physically, they have small, lithe frames; large ears; horns (only on males, and styles and size vary); very sharp, long claws on the hands and feet; very big eyes which make up most of their large heads; and thick fur whose patterns are named after Sol Terran cookies. Their average height is 4'11", though they can reach 5'4". They are also carnivorous.

## Personality

The general population has an infinite desire to learn more about anything they get their hands on. They can practically fix anything, as well as make or reverse-engineer. Clothing is an optional thing for them and they lack most of the morals that keep most species in check; usually, they only exercise the restraint of killing innocents. They have no sense of organization, are always trying to outdo each other, and have a total disregard for safety. Despite these factors, most are docile and laid-back, though they do get quite violent during their "rut" season. They have the ability to live as long as 190, but usually only live to a meager 50 due to their aforementioned carelessness. A number of xenobiologists have theorized that they are simply bipedal, semi-sentient animals due to their reproductive seasons and lack of morals and organization, though such claims have been deemed "specieist" by the more politically-correct crowd.
Enterran

**Enterrans** are a near-Human avian species native to Enterra.

## Biology

Enterrans are offshoots of baseline Humanity rather than aliens; Enterra is an old long-distance Earth colony, and a number of the explorers chose to stay there as permanent residents. They are short, very light and frail with a pair of wings on their backs. Like many of the avian species, their bones are hollow.

### "Magic"

Like the Rigelians, Enterrans have a natural ability to tap into special energy forces, though only on their homeworld of Enterra, or with access to a source of enterran arcane energy, such a a crystal from their world. The same energy that keeps Enterra's landmasses floating is the same that Enterrans use for their "magic," which is extremely limited without technological devices.

### Lifespan

They have an average lifespan of 210 years, which is slightly longer than Earth-based Humans. This is due to how Enterrans prefer a more natural lifestyle and keep their machinations in isolated places.
Purple Kirby

**Purple Kirby** is a character in Air Ride Adventures.

## About

Purple is a dumb kirby. He always does stupid things that make the other kirbies stop and go "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" He's notorious for eating Boxes to try and collect stats.

## Relationships with other characters

Due to being very dumb, most of the kirbies do not like Purple Kirby.

### Yellow Kirby

Yellow Kirby hates Purple, due to the fact he always sees him doing something stupid.

### Green Kirby

Green Kirby used to defend Purple, saying he doesn't know any better. Then Purple Kirby knocked down the Star Pole and crushed her. (However she survived because potatoes.)

### Blue Kirby

Blue considers Purple to be an easy target to capture.

## Trivia

* This is the second time this character has replaced the previous Purple Kirby.
* His sudden addition to the character roster caused a few things.
	+ Purple was not shown on the returning characters deviation, as he was not planned to appear in the series.
	+ TARS A-Z says Brown Kirby was the only air ride Kirby to return from TARS without personality updates, while Purple is the same old idiot.
* Purple Kirby is the only one of the eight air ride kirbies to support The Evil Bubble. Purple thinks he's the good guy.
Quad Star Drive Yards

Based on Daphine, this megacorporation primarily produces luxury yachts, limousines, sloops, and cruiseliners — the luxury king of the starship industry. They also produce generic and more affordable spacecraft, but on a much smaller scale. The name is commonly abbreviated as QSDY, which is sometimes humorously pronounced as *kuzdee*.
Ostayun

**Ostayuns** are a very short, thick-bodied reptilian species from Veluvoras. They are very hardy and can survive intense heat (up to 200F/93C) and extreme cold (down to -20F/-29C), and even regrow lost limbs and organs (if they can survive long enough). Morvollo is a prominent member of this species, being an intergalactic news anchor. Their average lifespan is 500 years.
Big Steel

Big Steel at work, smiling brightly.

**Tredrak Fifteen Viktrat**, known as **Big Steel** in the bartending scene, is an 8ft tall Klak bartender who works at the Thirsty Zuma Saloon in Tytuvan Station.

## History

Big Steel went online on June 5th, 2828 on planet Klak Anon IV. He originally took the position of a warrior for his kind's military forces, but eventually switched his prime directive to sociology and bar service. He has been a bartender for over 100 years.

## Personality

He has masculine programming and can be rather mischievous. He understands organic emotions somewhat better than an average Klak, but he still becomes confused fairly regularly. For example, he commonly associates flirtation with signs of drug abuse. He has a decent grasp of the concept of jokes and tends to burst out into intense roaring laughter before stopping sharply after a few seconds. It is that understanding, as well as other personable social skills, which make him a valued bartender. However, he will not hesitate to give unruly patrons what-for; he utilizes one of his many drink spouts for spewing crushed roaches on those he deems to be a problem.

## Chassis

Big Steel has a specialized structure that has many internal features to help him with bartending. Outwardly, he appears to be a humanoid with a full-body suit of armor and a helmet with glowing strips of light for a visor. Inwardly, he possesses a vast network of tubes; spigots; refrigeration units; racks for mugs and glasses; conveyors; and containers for a plethora of beverage ingredients. He also has gravitic manipulation units within his body that he uses to direct the flow of liquids in elaborate shapes and paths in the air as they mix before being funneled into a mug. Oftentimes, these liquids will emit from his face, ears, hands, and arms, leading to the entertainment and disgust of many.
