Attack Carrier

"Ah, someone wants to play!"

— Attack Carrier Captain

The Attack Carrier is a Venomian battleship that serves as the boss for Corneria in the original Star Fox and of the secret route in Star Fox 64. In Star Fox 64, it approaches the Star Fox from behind and tries to collide with Fox McCloud's Arwing. Fox must fly low to avoid this.

The Attack Carrier is heavily armored and impervious to Laser fire and Smart Bombs. However, when it opens its hatches to release a salvo of missiles, the player can shoot at the openings to break off the two large missile pods from the right of the ship and the large launch bay to the left of the ship, rendering it vulnerable to weapons fire. However, when its missile pods are destroyed, it fires lasers similar to Sarumarine's and dodges. The Attack Carrier in Star Fox 64 was the true source of enemy reinforcements invading Corneria.

After Fox managed to pull off some advanced moves from arches on the water, Falco spotted the Attack Carrier going beyond the waterfall, and went after it. He also alerted Fox and the rest of the team of his discovery. However, shortly after arriving at the ocean, the Attack Carrier surprises them by moving behind them, forcing the team to drop their altitude. The Star Fox team then attacked the Attack Carrier, and after destroying it's launch bay and missile pods, they then attacked the main ship. After defeating it, the captain demands to know their identities, and then declares that Star Fox will never defeat Andross as his ship plummets into the Ocean.
