Difference between revisions of "Venomian Army"

The '''Venomian Army''' sometimes referred to as Androssians, was the army of the planet [[Venom]] which operated under the control of [[Andross]]. The army was destroyed by both the [[Cornerian Army]] and the [[Arwingpedia:Star Fox Team]] at the end of the [[Lylat Wars]], although small groups of it remained at least up to the time of the [[Arwingpedia:Aparoid Invasion]]. These groups were kept at bay during those times, being forced to stay on [[Arwingpedia:Fortuna]] as a last resort before the [[Arwingpedia:Aparoid]]s invaded.

The Venomian army was a disciplined and ruthless force that nearly succeeded in conquering the [[Arwingpedia:Lylat System]]. The invasion of a planet by [[Venom]] forces was a planned operation broken down into three stages. The first stage was for Venomian forces to gain air superiority over the enemy, either through overwhelming numbers, superior technology, or both. The fact that the underdeveloped [[Cornerian Army]] didn't suspect an attack helped in their goal immensely. The initial wave of star fighters would draw air defense units into meeting them head on, allowing a second wave of fighters to come in and overwhelm the preoccupied defenders. With the skies clear of enemies, the second stage began as bombardment craft proceeded to rain destruction on the now-defenseless ground units. With most ground forces destroyed, the final stage began as shock troops were dropped to round up and enslave any survivors.
