Sector Y is one of three strange nebulas located in the Lylat System. It was the location of a major battle between Corneria's main battle fleet and Andross' forces during the Lylat Wars and later battles.
[edit] Overview
Sector Y is part of a trio of nebulas that appear in the shape of a letter, itself formed in the shape of a giant Y. Though not as sever as those found in Sector X, radiation storms and fluctuating magnetic waves make travel through this sector dangerous, as the ionized space dust causes equipment malfunction or failure in most ships. It is thought by some scientists that Sector Y is the result of a failed Bolse satellite that underwent nuclear meltdown, polluting the sector with the radioactive fallout.
[edit] History
During the course of the Lylat Wars, the main Cornerian battle fleet engaged in a desperate melee with Venomian forces at Sector Y. The fleet took heavy losses when Andross' latest invention, large humanoid battle suits, were employed en mass to devastating effect. Highly maneuverable, protected by thick physical shields and wielding laser pistols, the robot troopers supported by Dorisby and Grazan capital ships threatened to overwhelm the Cornerian fleet.
The timely arrival of the Star Fox Team saved the fleet from certain destruction. Plowing through the enemy fleet, the team confronted the flagship Saruzin, protected by two Shogun Warriors and Shogun itself. Fox McCloud succeeded in destroying the giant robots, breaking the back of the attacking fleet and saving the Cornerian survivors.
During the Aparoid invasion, Pigma Dengar, who was being pursued by the Star Fox team, fled into Sector Y after he escaping through Meteo. The team caught up with him and destroyed the Aparoid-infected Pigma.
The Star Fox team again fought at Sector Y during the final moments of the Anglar invasion. Fox McCloud and Falco Lombardi traced Wolf O' Donnell, who had stolen the device made by Andross to neutralize the Venom Sea from Titania to Sector Y. However, it was a trap as they were surrounded by Anglar forces, under the directon of Pigma Dengar, who had formed an alliance with Star Wolf to destroy the Star Fox Team.
