Lylatian origins.

[Mr. Krystal]

Than wouldn't all the planets get destroyed? (burned, melted, you know what I mean.)

Not really. The Earth hasn't melted. As I said, the temperature of the surface of a star has little to do with how hot a planet will be.

As I said, the temperature of the surface of a star has little to do with how hot a planet will be.

Why is it activity on the suns surface is used to predict global temperatures? (No, it's not you car as you might have heard)

[Four-eyed Vulpine]

The temperature of a planet is mainly affected by the distance from the star in the system and what kind of an atmosphere a planet has (if any).

Two points before I postulate my take on it.

First of all, while "Say your prayers, Andross!" is no more indicative of any personal religious faith on Fox's part than it is on my part when I say "Oh my God!", it would seem extraordinary that the Cornerian civilization arose without any religious history. I imagine it did, and many people may still be believers. Of course, we've no evidence of this, and it's just as likely that religion is a thing of the past in the Lylat System, which has given way to modernisation. Until we see in-game evidence either way, we can only speculate. Personally, I imagine there are religions, but they're on a more personal level nowadays than a public one. That said, we know nothing about the politics and government of the Lylat System; maybe religious controversy is just as prevalent as it is in some places in the real world.

Second, having played Star Fox Command, I doubt Solar is a star. Stars are made of superheated hydrogen and helium (and other, heavier elements deep in their core, which result from billions of years of hydrogen and helium fusion) and they do not have a solid surface, whereas Solar appears to be a volcanic planet, made up of largely molten rock, with a solid crust here and there. That would be insufficient to heat the entire Lylat System, so presumably there is a star (which we can only assume is called "Lylat"), that we haven't actually seen in game yet.

Anyways, considering how little information we have concerning the Lylat System and it's origins, we're pretty much free to speculate. I doubt we're ever going to be given official answers to such questions. One point of interest to me, however, is the fact that every planet in the system is just about habitable (even Solar has bases on it), whereas in reality that would be extraordinary. We can perhaps assume that the Cornerians terraformed the other planets when they began colonising space (however many centuries ago that was, and we can only speculate about that), but that doesn't explain Sauria, which has clearly been inhabited for millions of years by the Krazoa, certainly, before the current dinosaur population.

That would make two naturally habitable planets in the system, since all the evidence suggests that Cornerians didn't know much about Sauria before the events of Star Fox Adventures, which suggests that they didn't terraform it (and if they did, it would've had to have been millions of years ago). So, perhaps the Krazoa had a hand in making the planets of the Lylat System habitable? Maybe they terraformed the planets?

Still, I think speculation is the only option available to us. These questions can all be explored through fanfiction, and I encourage that, since I doubt any official answers will be forthcoming. In any case, I intend to explore these issues (as well as questions about Cornerian cullture, government, and politics) when the Lylat System becomes an important location in my comic (in the story arc beginning tomorrow, strangely enough). I'm sure other people will have vastly different solutions to these problems than mine, of course.

i must agree on this.
