Lylat system map

Description

Firstly, DISCLAIMER: This map is made with a HEAVY DOSE OF ARBITRARY INFORMATION. I do not have the Starfox series, nor have I ever played the Starfox series. The Starfox series belongs to Nintendo. I have not done heavy research beyond looking at loading screens and what I can find in Arwingpedia. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL MAP, AND IS IN NO WAY AS ACCURATE AS MY HOMEWORLD EFFORTS.

Now then, the Lylat system.

I wanted to flex my cartographic muscles so I decided to wip something up for Starfox, since I've been there recently (looking at low-poly model goodness from days long gone). Apparently the Lylat system is notorious not only for not having a definitive map, but befowling attempts to make a logical map out of it. This, plus my inability to explore and map as much as I can the Homeworld universe, puts this map fairly in the land of 'What I think' instead of 'what is.'

A pet theory I have (and fanfiction idea) is that Solar is actually Sol, and Venom is what's left of Earth. In an attempt to keep the solar system alive, the civilization of Earth made their solar system mobile. As the sun began to die, it drifted into the Lylat system, where the descendants of humanity (i.e, animals, pets, and the preserved species from Yesterday) were settled on Corneria. Humanity died out, the Cornerians evolved to replace them, and so the scene is set up for Starfox. As I have no sense of the Starfox universe (mostly) I have no idea how hairbraned or stupid that sounds. But... I ever imagine... so...

Starfox (C) 1993 Nintendo.

Edit: Surprised nobody noticed Aquas and Fortuna were in the same orbit. Fixed.
