"Enemy mothership approaching!"
— Bill Grey


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

The Saucerer, and in fact the entire level, greatly resembles and is probably based off of the 1996 film Independence Day.
