Difference between revisions of "Lylat Wars"

The Lylat Wars began, and Andross was near successful in turning the entire Lylat system into a wasteland of near extinction. The powerful [[Venomian Army]] disposed of any rebellion and crushed Andross's opponents with massive force. The [[Cornerian Army]], although making a heroic effort, proved no match for the unexpected attacking force, and was caught completely unprepared for the invasion from Venom. Thus, the Venom forces were able to constantly gain ground until a fleet eventually broke through into Corneria itself, wreaking havoc on the cites of the planet. Tearing past General Pepper's forces, the Venomian Army destroyed countless lives in Corneria City.

General Pepper, left with few places to go, contacted a new Star Fox team, led by James' son, Fox McCloud, to fight against Andross in a last ditch attempt to hold off the opposing forces of Venom. They were indeed the last hope to save the Lylat system from utter destruction. For almost the entire war, the Star Fox team used their custom-made [[Arwing]]s, the most advanced ships of the time. Their technology construction had taken most of the Cornerian Army's remaining resources to complete. After completing construction on the advanced fighters, the Star Fox team was dispatched immediately on their first mission to save the city of Corneria. The team consisted of leader Fox McCloud, the old but courageous Peppy Hare, mechanic [[Slippy Toad]], and ace pilot [[Falco Lombardi]]. Together they traveled through the Lylat system breaking through Andross's forces with the help of the Cornerian Army, until only the cruel dictator himself was left to be disposed of.

==='''Battle on [[Corneria]]'''===

Corneria City had been plagued by the Venomian military. The Star Fox team was contacted immediately to dispose of these fiends within the planet. Vanguard forces had breached Corneria's defenses, but they were no match for the Star Fox team. After their source of units, the Attack Carrier, was 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 opposing vessel before it could finish creating a route through which Andross's forces could invade. Fox also discovered a naturally-occurring [[Warp Portal]] that allowed instant travel to Katina.

The main Cornerian battle fleet engaged in a desperate melee with Venomian forces at Sector Y. At first, things seemed to be going well, but then Andross's inventions, the Shogun Warriors, were employed en mass to a devastating effect. Highly maneuverable, protected by thick physical shields and wielding laser pistols, the Shogun Warriors, 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 defeat. Plowing through the enemy fleet, the team confronted the flagship [[Saruzin]], which was protected by two Shogun Warriors, and the Shogun itself. Star Fox succeeded in destroying the formidable mechs, breaking the back of the attacking fleet and saving the Cornerian survivors.
