Orbital Gate

The Beltino Orbital Gate is a large orbital gate over Corneria, named for the brave actions of Beltino Toad, Slippy Toad's father. The gate serves as the main transport hub for the entire Lylat System, transporting ships of all sizes across vast distances throughout the galaxy, by turning entering ship into energy, which is then transmitted to its destination to be converted back into matter. In addition, it also serves as a large scientific research station. During the Aparoid Invasion it is the site of a large battle between Aparoids and the Cornerian Defense Force. After the war, it becomes the center of government for Corneria while the planet is being rebuilt from the invasion.

During the Aparoid Invasion in Star Fox: Assault, after Beltino Toad discovered the location of the Aparoid Homeworld, the Aparoids respond with a full scale assault on the gate. After a successful retaliation by Star Fox, the Aparoids send a barrage of missiles at the gate, which are destroyed by the combined efforts of Star Fox andStar Wolf teams.

It (or a similar space station) later makes a reappearance during the Anglar Blitz, where they upgrade the Star Fox Team's ships and give new information about the Anglars. The ending revealed that after the Aparoids had annihilated Corneria City, a provisional government was establised under military supervision that will last until the destruction of the Aparoids has been confirmed, in which case, they will relenquish soverignty as soon as possible. The destruction level of the Orbital Gate was at a C, and the Aparoids were expunged.

Trivia

 * In Star Fox: Assault, the level is very similar to the skirmish in Sector Z from Star Fox 64.
