Corneria
Players only see Corneria during combat if they engage an enemy target in its proximity.
Satellite Defense System
This satellite will periodically shoot down enemy targets. However, it has a long recharge and can be taken over by certain enemies and used to attack Corneria unless the player reclaims it.
Planets captured by Andross’s forces require the player to assault the surface and open the doorway to the enemy base. Once inside, the core must be destroyed to free the planet. While under enemy control, planets can fire IPBMs.
Captured planets are chosen randomly at the start of the game, and again on higher difficulties once Andross starts to get angry.
