The ship's major assignment was first breaking the invasion of Corneria by the [[Venomian Army]], and then re-capturing the occupied territories of the [[Lylat System]], and ultimately invading Venom itself, where Andross was defeated by Fox.

====''Star Fox Adventures''====
In ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]'', the Great Fox has a smaller role. The main menu is set from within the Great Fox. During gameplay itself, the Great Fox first appears in a cutscene right after [[Krystal]] is imprisoned. The Great Fox is wandering through space, and inside the ship, General Pepper assigns Fox with the new mission of rescuing [[Sauria|Dinosaur Planet]]. As shown from the world map, the Great Fox orbits around Dinosaur Planet during Fox's adventure on it. His teammates, Slippy, Peppy, and ROB 64, remain in the Great Fox, and the former two of whom communicate to Fox and assist him throughout his journey. The Great Fox appears again in the ending, after Fox defeats [[Andross]] (with help from [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]]). As Andross explodes into a giant blast of energy, Fox and Falco quickly retreat their Arwings back into the Great Fox. Inside it, Fox is congratulated by the Star Fox team and Krystal for saving Dinosaur Planet.

Prior to the game's events, the Great Fox has slightly deteriorated as the Star Fox team had a lack of funds to keep it in prime condition.<ref>''Star Fox Adventures'' instruction booklet, page 2</ref> This is shown from the Great Fox's aging outer shell.

With the money received by [[General Pepper]] for successfully saving Sauria from destruction and the Lylat system from devastation, the team were able to overhaul the Great Fox. It now appeared as a much sleeker and cleaner looking ship, inside and out, and also added new equipment. This included a long-range transfer system that can send Arwings and Landmasters to a planet's surface when needed, though the team's leader [[Fox McCloud]] indicated that it had poor targeting systems.

The ship served the team well, allowing Star Fox to appear where needed throughout Lylat during the Aparoid Invasion. Eventually, the Great Fox led a fleet of [[Cornerian Defense Force]] warships to the [[Aparoid Homeworld]], where in the conclusion of the battle, a large swarm of [[Aparoid|Aparoids]] attacked the Great Fox out in space, while the team was trying to gain access to the planet's core. Its systems compromised and, due to the lack of proper weaponry on exposed areas of the ship's hull, it soon fell prey and was infected by the machine-assimilating aliens. Before it could be compromised, Peppy and ROB, despite knowing it would mean their deaths, heroically sacrificed the ship by deliberately ramming it into the Anti-Laser Shield blocking the main entrance to the core. Peppy and ROB escaped at the last moment, escaping in the ship's bridge, which could also serve in an escape pod function. The pod, rejoining the team following the destruction of the planet, flew back to [[Corneria]].

[[File:SF2Mothership.png|thumb|The Mothership in Star Fox 2]] A ship called the "Mothership" appears in ''[[Star Fox 2]]''. It is considered to be the Great Fox's predecessor. The Mothership was only a carrier-ship without weapon-capacity, so it meant it could only be outside the battle, but could hold and repair up to six fighters.

The ship was also featured in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series as an arena. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the ''Star Fox 64'' stage Sector Z is featured as a stage where the Great Fox acts as the platform on which the players fight each other. The players can only traverse the ship length-wise. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Great Fox is greatly reduced to a smaller, unrealistic size(however if the game mode is "Tiny Melee", where all characters are smaller the characters are roughly to scale to the ship). It is featured on two stages; in the Corneria level, the Great Fox acts as a platform as in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' but doubles as a hazard. Occasionally, the cannons on the bottom-side open fire. The blasts from Great Fox can trap and instantly KO any unlucky combatant who flies into its line of fire.  The cannons are also platforms of the stage that can be destroyed, afterwards they are no longer platforms. Also if a player is standing on the cannons when they fire the player will take serious damage and most likely die. The Venom level has players traversing the Great Fox width-wise as it skims along the barren plane. It also briefly appears in both places' introductions, in ''Melee'' shown along with the Captain Falcon's Blue Falcon and Samus Aran's starship while in ''Super Smash Bros.'', it is shown very briefly before the camera zooms into the bridge to show Fox.  In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the trailer revealed at the Nintendo World Tour on November 3rd, 2006 revealed a new ''Star Fox'' stage, with the fighting taking place atop an new space craft called the Pleiades which flies through the atmosphere of Corneria, through an asteroid belt and a space battle, along with the original Great Fox flying in the background with Arwings. The Corneria stage (including the Great Fox) from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' makes a return in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', as part of the returning Melee Stages. The Great Fox also appears in ''The Subspace Emissary'', ''Brawl'' 's adventure mode, where it engages the Halberd, Meta Knight's battleship prior to being hijacked by the Subspace Army, in battle. The Halberd grapples the Great Fox with a chain and rams it into a mountain peak, heavily damaging the ship.

;VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
"''Great Fox is the Star Fox Team's mother ship. It is equipped with plasma engines that give it the capability to warp between planets. In addition, the ship is streamlined for atmospheric re-entry, making it capable of landing the Landmaster or Blue-Marine if necessary. Great Fox is stocked with all manner of supplies for the Star Fox Team, including food, clothing and replacement parts. In fact, Great Fox is the mobile home of the Star Fox Team. The late James McCloud contracted Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., to build Great Fox, and took out an 80 year loan to pay for its construction. The Star Fox Team is still using the prize money from their mercenary mission to repay this loan. ROB64, the robotic pilot of Great Fox, is wired directly into the ship's controls. Even though Great Fox rarely participates in the Star Fox Team's missions, it is a very important asset for the team.''"
 
;GAME DATA:
"''At certain points of each mission, you will receive a transmission from Great Fox. If you acknowledge this transmission (by pressing the Right C Button) ROB64 will send a Supply Container which will contain helpful items like extra Smart Bombs.''"
