Saucerer

Saucerer is a heavily fortified assault craft used by the Venomian Army in the invasion of enemy planets. The massive vessel is rumored to have been based off of plans stolen from aliens in a distant part of the galaxy. Its primarmy armament is the Core Weapon, a beam cannon with enough power to vaporize any city in the galaxy, though it requires sixty seconds to charge in which its energy generator is exposed. Saucerer also acts as a carrier for hundreds of Invader II Fighters used against airborn threats.

Saucerer was first encountered by the Star Fox Team when they came to the aid of the beleaguered Cornerian Defense Force on Katina. Despite deploying its full compliment of fighter craft, Saucerer was unable to gain air superiority over the Katina military base, and when it attempted to deploy its Core Weapon Fox McCloud succeeded in destroying the exposed generator, setting off a chain reaction that ultimately destroyed the vessel.
