Area 3

Area 3 is a space colony that was attacked by Andross during the Lylat War.

Overview
Area 3 is a large space station situated between Sector Alpha and the Meteo asteroid field. It's shaped like a large circular ring, with a functioning city inside it.

History
Built long before the Lylat War, Area 3 served as a deep space colony for Corneria. Sometime later, it housed the Gigarilla, a robotic weapon confiscated from Andross prior to his exile. During the Lylat War, Caiman, along with a contingent of Androssian units and Pigma, launches an attack on the colony to retake the Gigarilla. Fortunately, Star Fox arrived to intercept them and prevent the theft of the Gigarilla.
