A new Star Fox team, led by James' son Fox, arose to fight against Andross. They were indeed the last hope to save the Lylat system from utter destruction, and were dispatched immediately to save Corneria City. The team consisted of Fox, the old but courageous Peppy, [[Slippy Toad]], and [[Falco Lombardi]]. Together they traveled through the Lylat system breaking through Andross's forces, until the cruel dictator himself was left to be disposed of. | A new Star Fox team, led by James' son Fox, arose to fight against Andross.

Corneria City had been plagued by the Venomian Army's military. The Star Fox team was contacted immediately to dispose of these fiends within the planet. Vanguard forces had breached Corneria's defences, but they were no match for the Star Fox team. After they were vanquished by the heroic mercenaries, Corneria was saved from further destruction. | |||
Near the planet was an [[Asteroid Belt]] known as Meteo, which was the sight of a major battle between the Star Fox team and Venomian Army. Andross made use of the [[Meteo Crusher]] to clear a path through the asteroids for his invasion force to reach Corneria. Fox and his team were able to destroy the vessel before it could finish creating a route through which Andross's forces could invade. Fox also discovered a naturally-occuring [[Warp Portal]] that allowed instant travel to Katina. | |||
==='''Battle in [[ | ==='''Battle in [[Sector Y]]'''=== | ||
The main Cornerian battle fleet engaged in a desperate melee with Venomian forces at Sector Y. The fleet took heavy losses when Andross's invention, large humanoid battle suits, were employed en mass to devastating effect. Highly maneuverable, protected by thick physical shields and wielding laser pistols, the robot troopers supported by [[Dorisby-class Battleship|Dorisby]] and [[Grazan-class Carrier|Grazan]] capital ships threatened to overwhelm the Cornerian fleet. | |||
The timely arrival of the Star Fox team saved the fleet from certain defeat. Plowing through the enemy fleet, the team confronted the flagship [[Saruzin]], protected by three of the humanoid battle suits. Star Fox succeeded in destroying the giant robots, breaking the back of the attacking fleet and saving the Cornerian survivors. | |||
==='''Battle in [[ | ==='''Battle in [[Katina]]'''=== | ||
This planet came under intense attack by the Venomian Army when the Star Fox team came to the Cornerian Army's (particularly the Husky and Bulldog units led by [[Bill Grey]]) aid. Leading the counter-charge against the [[Invader II Fighters]] swarming above the Cornerian Defence Force's military base, Fox McCloud and his team succeeded in relieving the beleaguered defense squadrons. Attempts to confuse Star Fox by painting the Invader IIs the same colors as the [[Cornerian Fighter]]s proved fruitless as the Arwings' [[Targeting Computer]]s were able to tell friend from foe, and the first wave of fighters was destroyed. | |||
When the main assault craft [[Saucerer]] arrived, it released hundreds of fighters in a final attempt to overwhelm the defenders and began charging its Core Weapon. Despite overwhelming numbers, Star Fox was able to plow through the swarms of enemy craft and target the exposed energy generator, destroying the mothership and ending the invasion of Katina. | |||

Only the arrival of [[Star Wolf]] in their [[Wolfen]] fighters gave the Venomians time to activate the base's self-destruction mechanism; if they could not have the base, no one would. Despite a fierce air battle, the Star Fox team was victorious and succeeded in stopping the device in time to save the base from destruction. | Only the arrival of [[Star Wolf]] in their [[Wolfen]] fighters gave the Venomians time to activate the base's self-destruction mechanism; if they could not have the base, no one would.

Cornerian spies reported that Andross created a secret research facility in Sector X, but all contact with them was lost. Remote scanning revealed the existence of a debris field, but unable to conclude what had happened. General Pepper ordered the Star Fox team to investigate without delay. | |||
They discovered that the base had been destroyed by [[Spyborg]], whose artificial intelligence had malfunctioned and caused it to attack the base. Fighting through the fighters and defense systems still active after Spyborg's attack, Fox McCloud succeeded in reaching the giant construct and destroying it before its rampage could continue elsewhere. The team also discovered the existence of an artificial [[Warp Portal]] generator, which allowed instantanious travel to Sector Z. | |||
==='''Battle in [[ | ==='''Battle in [[Titania]]'''=== | ||
Scout forces sent by Andross investigated the planet and discovered Goras. The mad scientist, through bio-mechanical experimentation, altered the creature and turned it into a fearsome warrior. The Star Fox team battled through Venomian forces in search for Slippy, who had crash-landed on the planet and was captured by Goras. The team succeeded in rescuing Slippy and destroying Goras, ending the creature's existence. | |||

The team battled through this hellish environment, receiving help from Bill. Eventually they were forced to confront [[Vulcain]], the most deadly of Andross's star-spawn bio-weapons. Dodging its attacks, Star Fox was able to destroy the beast and put an end to Andross's biological terror. | The team battled through this hellish environment, receiving help from Bill.

Reports indicated large amounts of pollution was being spread by Andross on this planet completely covered in water. The Star Fox team was sent to investigate using a machine built by Slippy called the Blue Marine. With it, Fox was able to track down and eliminate a poweful creature known as the [[Bacoon]], the being responsible for causing the planet to be engulfed in water. After doing so, the world became free of its malicious influence. | |||
==='''Battle in [[Zoness]]'''=== | |||
Rather than taking its defenses head-on, the Star Fox team attempted to sneak in quietly. A series of radar buoys protected the main supply areas, scanning the heavens with powerful floodlamps, and formed an extensive early warning network. The team was able to destroy the bouys, with some surprise assistence from [[Katt Monroe]], before they could alert the system and proceed to lay waste to the infrastructure. | |||
In the final moments of the attack, Fox confronted the [[Sarumarine]], which was the source of the planet-wide pollution. In a hard-fought battle Fox destroyed the poisonous submarine and put an end to the origin of the toxic waste. | |||

It was while attempting to navigate through these debris fields that the Star Fox team came under attack by Andross. The ambush was sprung by the latest [[Invader III Fighters]] escorting a half-dozen [[Copperhead missile]]s. Unable to protect itself, the [[Great Fox]] launched its fighters in a desperate bid to prevent the missiles from impacting and causing extensive damage. The Star Fox team, assisted by Katt, succeeded in driving off the attackers and destroying all six missiles before they could damage the Great Fox. | It was while attempting to navigate through these debris fields that the Star Fox team came under attack by Andross.

==='''Battle in [[ | ==='''Battle in [[Macbeth]]'''=== | ||
The Star Fox team attempted to liberate Macbeth and strike a crippling blow to the Venomian war industry. Fox, piloting the [[Landmaster]], confronted a supply train protected by the biomechanical construct [[Mechbeth]]. Rather than destroying the machine itself, he was able to send the train it was attached to off-course towards the main supply depot. Unable to slow itself in time, the train crashed at high speeds into the depot, setting off stores of weapons and fuel containers in a dazzling explosion. With the loss of its main production and fueling facilities, Venom was now open to direct attack by the Star Fox team. | |||
==='''Battle on [[Bolse]]'''=== | |||
Bolse came under attack by the Star Fox team as they headed the invasion of Venom. Fox McCloud and his team, aware of Bolse's weakness from stolen design documents, were able to destroy the six generator pylons and expose the core to attack. Not even the arrival of the Star Wolf team was able to prevent Star Fox from destroying the station and opening the way for Venom's invasion. | |||
==='''Battle in [[Area 6]]'''=== | |||
In the closing moments of the war, the Star Fox team made a brazen attempt to force their way through Area 6 to attack Venom. Despite throwing everything at the Star Fox team, Venomian forces were unable to stop them. In a last bid to stop Star Fox they deployed the [[Gorgon]], hoping it would destroy them for good. But not even the mighty battle station could stop the mercenaries, and as it exploded into tiny fragments Fox and his team powered through the debris field and entered Venom's atmosphere. | |||

In a titanic battle, Fox killed Andross, but with his dying breath the mad scientist unleashed a fiery nuclear explosion to consume them both. In that moment, Fox's father James suddenly appeared and showed Fox the path out of the base and certain destruction. As Fox made his escape, James disappeared, leaving a victorious son to wonder if he had really seen his father. | In a titanic battle, Fox killed Andross, but with his dying breath the mad scientist unleashed a fiery nuclear explosion to consume them both.

Although Andross was destroyed, his followers still stayed loyal to his campaign in taking over the Lylat system. They slowly disappeared in the following years until Andrew Oikonny, who left the Star Wolf team soon after the war, led a rebellion against the Cornerian Army with the remaining forces of the Venomian Army. Enter the Star Fox team, who helped tear down the rebels and bring Oikonny to justice. The crazed ape led them into the planet of [[Fortuna]], where he revealed an Andross-like machine in a last line of defence against Star Fox. His movement was unsuccessful, however, as the invasion of the aparoids became a larger threat, and destroyed Andrew's operation. | Although Andross was destroyed, his followers still stayed loyal to his campaign in taking over the Lylat system.
