Zoness is one of two oceanic worlds of the Lylat System, the other being Aquas, although unlike Aquas it has many islands. It was once a popular vacation world, until it was polluted by Andross during the Lylat Wars. It is home to a wide variety of aquatic life.

Overview
Edit
Nearly covered with ocean, small groups of islands and Cornerian-made bases are the only ground that breaks above the crashing waves of Zoness. The planet is near the suns of Lylat, so is tropical in nature. Zoness was home to a wide array of aquatic animals, including the dragon-like Todora, Troika fish, and Z-Gulls. A favored dish of many seaside restaurants were Kani. Zoness was the second most visited planet in the Lylat System at one point, Corneria being the first.
HistoryEdit
Added by CaptainCjRather then taking its defenses head-on, the team attempted to sneak in quietly. It was a hit-and-run attack. A series of radar buoys protected the main supply areas, scanning the skies with powerful flood-lamps, and formed an extensive early warning network. The team was able to destroy the buoys, with some surprise assistance from Katt Monroe, before they could alert the system and proceeded to lay waste to the infrastructure.
In the final moments of the attack, Fox McCloud confronted Sarumarine, one of the sources of the planet-wide pollution. In a hard-fought battle, Fox destroyed the poisonous submarine and put an end to the one of the origins of the toxic waste. It is also implied in this mission that Falco Lombardi may have originated from Zoness (or at least spent a significant amount of time at the planet), due to his showing an almost rare form of depression and disgust at Zoness's polluted state.
Although Zoness was not a target of the Aparoids during the Aparoid Invasion, Zoness appears as a Vs. Mode stage for Star Fox: Assault. It seems to have mostly recovered from the pollution during the Lylat Wars, as its water is now a dark blue, presumably restoring it to its former paradise glory. Also, during the story mode, one of the ads on the Corneria Campaign had an advertisement involving a clean-up briefing on Zoness (implying that, while most of the pollution on Zoness was gone, there were still traces of it that needed to be removed). This advertisement cannot be seen on multiplayer mode. On the multiplayer mode, there is a spot that shows a map of Corneria City (this can only be seen if 2 players are active).
Added by NessPeppyTailsTriviaEdit
- Actual footage of Zoness before its mass pollution was recorded during the working stages of Star Fox 64 seen in trailers.
- Although Zoness was not a target of the Anglar Blitz, it is nowhere to be seen on the Lylat Map in StarFox: Command.
Notes and ReferencesEdit
- ↑ In the briefing message before playing the level,General Pepper exlaims "There's an enemy base there?!" with surprise, indicating that the Cornerian Army did not know that Zoness had been captured by the Venomian Army
