Difference between revisions of "Lylat Wars"

The '''Lylat Wars''' was a catastrophic,yet short war started when [[Andross]] and the [[Venomian Army]] attacked the [[Lylat system]] in hopes of taking control of it, especially [[Corneria]]. It took place in both ''[[Star Fox]]'' and ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', taking place more five years after Andross was exiled to [[Venom]] by [[General Pepper]] of the [[Cornerian Army]].

In truth,however,Venom's atmosphere was able to allow Andross,the native humonoid lizards,and other lifeforms to survive. Andross,full of hatred,sought revenge on the Lylat System.In this insane desire he expiremented on himself and orgainized a powerful army.

The Lylat Wars began, and Andross threatened to turned 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 passed 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, to fight against Andross in a last ditch attempt to hold of the forces of Venom. They were indeed the last hope to save the Lylat system from utter destruction, and were given the [[Arwing]]s, the most advanced ships of the time that had taken most of the Army's remaining resources to build. After being given the advanced fighters, the Starfox team was dispatched immediately on their first mission to save a city on Corneria. 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 with the help of the Cornerian Army, until only the cruel dictator himself was left to be disposed of.

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.

General Pepper sent the Star Fox team to explore this star when a number of Venomian scout ships were detected approaching and leaving. What they discovered were biological monsters, the result of Andross's genetic experimentation, that not only lived but thrived in the extremely hot environment.  

Although Andross's body was destroyed, his followers still stayed loyal to his campaign in taking over the Lylat system, but the Cornerian Army was now able to keep the weakened forces at bay. They slowly disappeared in the following years until Andross's nephrew Andrew Oikonny, who had 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 in a losing battle against the Cornerian Army he he revealed an Andross-like machine in a last line of defense against Star Fox, who had perused him to the surface of the planet. His movement was unsuccessful, however, as the invasion of the Aparoids became a larger threat, and destroyed Andrew's operation.

Although it wasn't known if the Venomian remnants were aware of Andross's survival,nonetheless the ex-emperor's disembodied spirit took refugee on Sauria and planned his revival,only to be destroyed once and for all by Fox. Alongside Andrew, the Anglar Empire,a by-product of Andross's creations,also survived the war.Unlike the other remnants led by Star Wolf and Andrew,their emperor led them to rebuild their forces in hiding for another war,only to be defeated by Star Fox.
