Difference between revisions of "Venomian Army"

The Venomian army was a disciplined and ruthless force that nearly succeeded in conquering the [[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 suspected an attack helped in their goal immensely. The initial wave of starfighters 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.

During the period of peace after the [[Lylat Wars]], what was left of the Venomain Army appeared to be very resourceful, as more then nine years later they had battleships and bases. The last of the Venomain Army led by [[Andrew Oikonny]] fled to the forest planet [[Fortuna]] in a final stand against the Cornerian Army's forces. The battle seemed to be a losing one until they brought out their secret weapons, but then the Cornerian Army was aided by the Starfox Team in breaking through their defenses. It is to be assumed that the rest of the Venomain Army was destroyed after StarFox took out their leader.

Again, the lizard armies of [[Andross]] returned to the this non-released game, using more powerful weapon then before. Using battleships of unknown classes, they stormed past the outer-lying planets via interplanetary hyperspace. The Venomian army also employed the very first versions of Bio-weapons, such as the unnamed dragon like creature seen destroying a fleet of Cornerian vessels in the opening credits.

Starfox Assault(gamecube)

During the opening credits to the first level, many Venomian and Cornerian vessels are seen exchanging cannon fire at one another. Venom had produced an unknown type of new starship capable of taking on a Cornerian Assault Frigate, which was a relatively well rounded ship. Although, it couldn't withstand a full scale bombardment from the many enemy vessels.This was made known when the Cornerian Assault forces charged at them, firing volley after volley of light laser rounds.

Many were destroyed during this skirmish, even after the deployment of [[Andrew|Andrew Oikonny]]'s Stealth Squadron.

In Starfox Assault, the majority of the Venomian army is seen as apes only. This fact is also supported by the fact that within Wolf's Sargasso Hideout, boxes clearly showing Andross's insignia could be found throughout the level. Another way this fact is supported, is that Adross's nephew, Andrew is seen as the new Emperor of the Venomian empire.

Starfox Command(DS/DS lite/DSi)

During the years following the conclusion of the [[Aparoid ]]blitz, the Venom army began to rebuild itself. Only this time, the army only consisted of bipedal amphibious creatures known as the Anglers. The Venom army itself was reformed to only include these strange creatures, replacing the need for any other type of species. But, soon after the angler war ended, [[Dash BowMan]], grandson of Andross, rebuilt the Venomain empire, once again enlisting the aid of ape soldiers. It is unknown what has become of Lylat since Dash rebuilt the empire.
