Background

Peppy Hare is a retired member of the legendary Star Fox team. Having had years of service in the Cornerian Military with previous comrade and best friend James McCloud, they both started the Star Fox team of mercenaries, intent on serving justice and freedom. An experienced pilot, Peppy had learned many tricks in his years of flying, and is also very knowledgeable about Andross's forces, since he once had to escape captivity at their hands. After a scouting mission ended badly due to Pigma's betrayal and James' capture, Peppy narrowly escaped on his own to return to Corneria to inform James's only son Fox of his father's fate. Peppy then joined the newest Star Fox team, consisting of himself and Fox, ace pilot Falco Lombardi, and engineering expert Slippy Toad. Even though Peppy was much older than all the other team members, he declined the leadership role and insisted that it should be the younger McCloud to take over the team, probably as per the final wishes after James was slain by Andross. Peppy then served as Fox's mentor and fatherly figure, frequently giving valuable instructions and advice throughout the course of the following missions.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Peppy Hare’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Originally, Peppy served in the Cornerian Army alongside James McCloud under orders from their superior officer General Pepper, before pulling out to become a founding member of a much more independent organisation of mercenaries for hire, intent of serving justice and freedom to the Cornerian territories with the aid of their clever wingmate and fellow expert pilot Pigma Dengar. Away from the line of duty, Peppy had a daughter, Lucy, by way of his late wife Vivian. Five years after the banishment of the disgraced chief scientist Dr. Andross, Peppy along with James and Pigma were called to make a special recon mission on the far away planet of Venom by General Pepper to investigate sightings of strange activity coming from the planet. Upon their arrival, the two best friends discovered too late that the forces of Venom were waiting in ambush for them, made even worse when Pigma betrayed his team by delivering Peppy and James into captivity by Andross. James was supposedly killed, and Peppy barely managed to escape but learned a few tricks about the Androssian ways. Returning home, Peppy informed James' son, Fox, about his father's fate, and the new team was born. By that moment on, he took care of Fox's future, becoming like a second father to him, as they worked together to carry on what Peppy and the lost James started.

In the space of two years after the loss of James, Peppy became part of the new team, led by Fox, and the two new members, the more honest and loyal Slippy and Falco. Despite the fact he was older and more experienced than everyone else, he insisted that it was Fox who should be the leader. Occasionally the team would encounter the rival mercenary group, Star Wolf, led by Wolf O'Donnell and consisting of, Leon Powalski, Andrew Oikonny, and former Star Fox team member, Pigma Dengar. Peppy was the main target of Pigma, chasing him without remorse and remarking about being his "old pal". After Star Fox defeated Star Wolf, when Fox orders everyone to let him go by himself to defeat Andross, Peppy, like the others, was horrified and tried to stop him, but he didn't listen. He is then full of relief when Fox returns victorious, and then asks him what the matter was when noticing him searching in space for something, but Fox assured Peppy that nothing was wrong before Team Star Fox returned home and were paid handsomely by General Pepper.

During the four years of peace in the Lylat System, Peppy and the rest of the Star Fox team had little in terms of work. They then received a S.O.S. signal from Katt Monroe, and Peppy was unsure of whether to respond to her S.O.S., as she had a criminal record. However, they eventually went to the source of the S.O.S., Titania, due to Falco rushing out to help Katt before a proper decision could be made. They then went over to one of the Titanian research bases, run by Captain Shears. Shears agreed to help Star Fox out to find Falco, under the condition that they stop some Venomian Army remnants who allegedly stole some of Andross's research that the base planned to replicate for peaceful applications. After the Star Fox team fought against the supposed Androssian vessel, as well as Fox getting into a dogfight against Falco, Peppy gave Fox a severe tongue-lashing in regards to fighting Falco, viewing it as irresponsible on Fox's part, asking him what his father would think of him. However, when he learned the reason why Fox got into a dogfight with Falco in the first place, he became disturbed at the implications of what is happening, as well as growing more suspicious of Shear's true motives after realizing that the Titanian base seemed too quiet for supposedly being in danger, and deployed Slippy to investigate because he was too old for active duty and Fox's Arwing was going under repairs. Afterwards, they were hailed by the supposed Venomian Army remnants, who turned out to be Katt's group. After learning that they had stolen some files from the base and planned to leak them onto the black market, although they didn't actually know what was inside the contents of the file, Peppy requested that ROB open the files to see what was really going on. They then learned upon reviewing the files that it was even worse than previously believed: Shears wasn't planning on reviving Andross's research, but Andross himself via cloning. Peppy then realized that he inadvertently placed Slippy in grave danger earlier and attempts to call Slippy back, but learns from ROB that his communication with Slippy was cut a while back. Peppy then acted as the monitor of the mission to rescue Slippy, telling Fox where to go while Katt and her team acted as the distraction. After Fox rescued Slippy and defeated both Shears and a newly revived Andross, Peppy tried to get away from a cloning culture fluid-soaked Slippy.

Four years afterwards, during the Sauria Crisis, Peppy retired as a pilot because of his old age and became an adviser and navigator within the Great Fox, alongside ROB 64 (and during this time, Slippy). His role of studying Saurian Maps and the planet's History during this period of peril was important, but minor nonetheless. He was glad to receive the monetary reward knowing that Great Fox was in dire need of repairs and managed to remember he received a message from Krystal in time for her arrival on the bridge.

Peppy still stayed aboard the Great Fox and gave valuable advice to the Star Fox team, which now included Krystal taking his place as fourth pilot. When chasing Pigma into the Asteroid Belt, Peppy made a note that the Pig was always ahead of everyone, having said "Just like Pigma. He never missed a trick." By the time the team, with Star Wolf's help, had defeated the Aparoids at Corneria, Peppy somehow found his way back into an Arwing after General Pepper was captured by the Aparoids and arrived at the last moment to save Pepper from dying (Although the attempt also led to him being injured, jokingly stating that it "looks like [Peppy will] never make retirement now..." before groaning, and then requesting that Fox contact the Medical Corps.).

During the Invasion of the Aparoid Homeworld, a shield was generated, blocking the team's progress. It was at this point that Peppy boldly sacrificed himself and crashed the Great Fox into the shield, destroying it and the Great Fox in the process. Despite the protests of the team and signs that Peppy was being infected by the Aparoids, he crashed into the shield. This allows the team to continue onward to thwart the Aparoid Queen. The team is shocked and saddened by the apparent loss of their veteran friend, but they eventually resolve to move on.

During the battle against the Aparoid Queen, the Queen impersonated Peppy, among other supposedly deceased acquaintances, and attempted to discourage the team. After the Star Fox team's victory and escape, a moment of mourning is interrupted by the arrival of both Peppy and ROB, who had escaped the destruction of the Great Fox using an emergency escape ship. Fox reveals that he was well aware of Peppy and ROB's survival, and Peppy tells the team that he intends to retire for good.

Resistance to Gravity Manipulation (The Arwing is equipped with the revolutionary G-Diffuser system, an anti-gravity device which allows the pilot to accelerate or decelerate instantaneously and perform a wide variety of high performance combat maneuvers)

Equipment


  • Blaster: Blaster is an advanced energy firing pistol that is kept often by Peppy, Similar to the Arwing's lasers, the blaster could charge. It had a semi-lock, not a full lock.
  • Machine Gun: Sprays a steady stream of bullets. Particularly useful against infantry.
  • Gatling Gun: The Gatling Gun is an uncommon, but even more powerful version of the Machine Gun each shot does more damage than the aforementioned weapon and can be used to defeat heavily-armored enemies, but the gun holds fewer rounds and is less accurate, making it a close-range weapon.
  • Homing Launcher: The Homing Launcher is a very useful and powerful default weapon that appears in "Assault". It has an auto-lock feature and homing capabilities.
  • Sniper Rifle: The Sniper Rifle is a powerful default weapon available in "Star Fox: Assault". It is a high precision weapon equipped with a double magniscope for zooming, and armed with long range laser bullets that kill most enemies in one precise shot.
  • Plasma Cannon: Standard issue weaponry for Cornerian heavy infantry. The Plasma Cannon is typically used against aerial targets. It has endless ammo.
  • Grenade: The Grenade is an explosive default weapon available in "Star Fox: Assault". This powerful projectile generates a blast radius of 12 feet. It is advised to remain a safe distance from this weapon when deployed.
  • Sensor Bomb: Sensor Bombs are proximity mine-type explosives that are available in "Star Fox: Assault". Place these bombs with the fire button then wait for something to pass close by and set them off. May also be detonated by arms fire.

  • Barrier Sphere: The Barrier Sphere is an item in Star Fox: Assault which creates a shield around Peppy when activated, making him completely invulnerable to harm for a limited time.

  • Great Fox: Developed by Arspace Dynamics Co., Ltd., manufacturer of the Arwing fighter, Great Fox was custom built under the direction of James McCloud. Featuring 3 NTD-FX9 plasma engines, Great Fox is light-speed capable and has a real-space cruising speed that nearly matches the Arwing's. Power for its 2 T&B-H9 hyper laser cannons is routed directly from the plasma engines, giving the ship the ability to punch through even a Zeram-class Cruiser's shields. ROB 64 was developed in conjunction with Great Fox and is hard-wired to the ship's primary computer.
  • Arwing: The Arwing is the personal super-high performance combat spacecraft used by members of the Star Fox Team. Developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., the Arwing is equipped with the revolutionary G-Diffuser system, an anti-gravity device which allows the pilot to accelerate or decelerate instantaneously and perform a wide variety of high performance combat maneuvers. By executing an aileron or barrel roll, the Arwing can also generate an electromagnetic shield which will deflect most optically based weapons, such as laser beams. The Arwings used by the Star Fox Team are much different from any production versions as they have been extensively modified with improved armor and advanced weapon systems, such as Hyper Laser Homing Bolts and Smart Bombs. Despite numerous revisions and redesigns over the course of the team's history, the many models of Arwings have maintained the balance of speed, power and performance that they are credited for. The Arwing starfighter is the primary battle vehicle of the Star Fox Team, and is almost the symbol of their team.
    • Weapon Systems: Advanced propulsion systems and spaceframe design give the Arwing superior atmospheric and space flight capabilities in combat. The Arwing's weaponry represents the cutting edge in Cornerian military technology, giving this formidable fighter the equivalent firepower of a front-line space cruiser.
    • Blaster: The Arwing's fires a single laser cannon, but once one or more Laser Upgrade is collected it’s power increases.
    • Twin Blaster: By collecting the Twin Blaster item, the arwing can fire two laser beam Blasters simultaneously, one from each wing. When one or both of its wings are destroyed, it will revert back to a single Blaster firing out of the ship's nose.
    • Smart Bomb: This will drop a bomb that damages all the enemies that are within range of the explosion.

  • Smart Bomb: This will drop a bomb that damages all the enemies that are within range of the explosion.
  • Torpedo: The Blue-Marine is armed with a Homing Torpedo launcher, able to fire an unlimited supply of "Light Bomb" underwater based projectiles that can be locked onto its target with the use of a Targeting Computer, in place of Charged Lasers. The submersible has one weakness, and this is the fact that its visual sensors were not designed to work in the darkness of great depths; it was instead designed to use sonar. Therefore, in order to see clearly in the murky abyss, the Blue-Marine must use "Light Bomb" torpedoes, of which it has an unlimited supply.

Other

Standard Tactics: While on ground Peppy will use various different weapons and deftly shoot with each one, along with calling for his Arwing. In an Arwing he will fire and fly around deftly trying to find the enemy’s weak spot.

Weaknesses: Can lose the twin lasers if too much damage is taken and can lose to the power shield if it collides with too many objects. His old age made it harder for him to fight in space battles.

Background

The Arwing is the personal super-high performance combat spacecraft used by members of the Star Fox Team. Developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., the Arwing is equipped with the revolutionary G-Diffuser system, an anti-gravity device which allows the pilot to accelerate or decelerate instantaneously and perform a wide variety of high performance combat maneuvers. By executing an aileron or barrel roll, the Arwing can also generate an electromagnetic shield which will deflect most optically based weapons, such as laser beams.

The Arwing starfighter is the primary battle vehicle of the Star Fox Team, and is almost the symbol of their team.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Arwing’s history. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

After the Lylat Wars began, General Pepper called the Star Fox team for immediate aid against the rising threat of Andross's Empire, motivating the Arwing starfighter to be used by Fox McCloud and his team of star pilots to save the Cornerian territories and the Lylat System from Andross's sudden attacks. The Arwing starfighter served as the main source of tactical service and backup support throughout the catastrophic war. The single-seated Arwing featured four advanced G-Diffusers engines as large blue structures atop and underneath each wing. A single-beam laser cannon (which could double as a Smart Bomb launcher) was located underneath the nose. Twin and Hyper laser upgrades instead utilized a pair of more powerful laser cannons between the wings, just below each G-Diffuser. The rear of the ship housed the engine exhaust, which would change color with the environment: red for in-atmosphere, and blue for space operations. According to Slippy, the Arwing was capable of surviving temperatures of up to 9000 degrees, which enabled the ship to operate in the sweltering conditions on Solar, but the shielding was slowly eaten up by the even higher heat from the deadly surface.

The only times Fox did not use his Arwing was when diving into the abyss of Aquas with the use of Slippy's experimental Blue-Marine attack sub, and driving the Landmaster prototype tank while searching for Slippy on Titania and following the Forever Train on Macbeth.

With the efforts of the newly reformed Star Fox team's small, quick squadron, Corneria and Lylat were freed from Andross and his army. Despite offers to enter the Cornerian military, Star Fox and their Arwings remained a strictly professional mercenaries-for-hire unit only. No one is sure what the Star Fox team did with the money from the Lylat Wars, although the prize money was likely used to repay the immense loan used for building James McCloud's Great Fox.

Due to the lack of funds in the possession of the Star Fox team during the Plight of Sauria, the Arwings owned by the Star Fox team were in serious disrepair, but able to get by. Even an ace pilot would have trouble keeping the ship together, due to the modifications made by Slippy; these included the stripping of the targeting computers in exchange for hard currency, as well as the bomb magazines restricted to only one at a time, and the charge ability was taken away, and laser power was poor. Although the navigational computer was still in working order, this model of the Arwing had the capacity of two crew members, one of which was the pilot (Fox), and under the belly of the ship was a small cargo holder in which small creatures such as Prince Tricky could stay in while the pilot flew the ship. the Arwing's engines suffered somewhat, making the ship harder to control, but that could be attributed to the fact that the nose had been elongated to allow for cargo space in which small creatures (Prince Tricky) could be transported in. Its able to use brakes and boost but last very shortly. The installation of retractable tripod landing gear was another asset, due to the fact that Arwings would have had to work independently from Great Fox for prolonged periods of time. To provide remote assistance ROB 64 would transmit Fuel Cells to power the Arwing, but these were commonly scattered about, leaving the team to search for them in unorthodox places. It was this stripped down, aging ship that was responsible for the final defeat of Andross.

Background

The Great Fox is the space aircraft carrier and dreadnought-class flagship that serves as mobile headquarters, launching platform, tactical support and residence of the elite Star Fox squadron, who travel across space defending the peace and innocent lives from other-worldly threats. It is equipped with 3 NTD-FX9 plasma engines that give it the capability to warp between planets. In addition, the ship is streamlined for atmospheric re-entry, making it capable of landing the Landmaster or Blue-Marine if necessary. Great Fox is stocked with all manner of supplies for the Star Fox Team, including food, clothing and replacement parts. In fact, Great Fox is the mobile home of the Star Fox Team. The late James McCloud contracted Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., to build Great Fox, and took out an 80-year loan to pay for its construction. The Star Fox Team is still using the prize money from their mercenary mission to repay this loan. ROB 64, the robotic pilot of Great Fox, is wired directly into the ship's controls. Even though Great Fox rarely participates in the Star Fox Team's missions, it is a very important asset for the team. Despite the impressive defenses, Great Fox is extremely vulnerable to certain types of attacks, but the Star Fox Team will gladly do whatever it takes to protect their home when away from Corneria.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Great Fox’s history. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Under the exclusive order of James McCloud, the Great Fox (along with ROB 64 as the main operations pilot and essentially ship "voice") was developed and constructed by Arspace Dynamics. The Great Fox was originally to serve the Star Fox team as a carrier & repair facility for the team's Arwings, as well as acting in a logistical capacity by transferring supplies to the combat zones when needed. The customised specifications and technical capabilities of the mothership made it so expensive, James had to take out an 80-year low interest mortgage to ensure the ship was properly built to it's maximum potential. Since James never managed to use this mothership himself, due to disappearing and presumably perishing on Venom before the ship was completed, the Great Fox was still relatively new when James' only son Fox took ownership of the ship to re-form the Star Fox Team following his father's apparent death, and taking ownership of the ship debts too.

As the flagship and mobile HQ of the newly reformed Star Fox Team, the Great Fox played a major role in the Cornerian war against Andross's Empire in the evil emperor's conquest of the entire Lylat System.

The ship's first major assignment was when ROB received General Pepper's urgent distress call, requesting the Star Fox team's aid in breaking off the invasion of Corneria by Andross's overwhelming space fleets, and then recapturing the occupied territories of the Lylat System, and ultimately invading Venom itself, where Andross would need to be defeated to end the war.

Due to the vast numbers of asteroids making a clear flight path nearly impossible, the Great Fox moved up in front of the four Arwings, blasting some of the free floating space rocks to make a more clear head start.

As the Missions on Titania and Macbeth required the use of the Landmaster tank to stay close to the ground, the Great Fox launched the tank from the front bay so Fox could follow ROB's directions in the search for the recently lost Slippy after he crash landed and was captured by the Goras, and to closely follow the Forever Train before it could reach the supply depot. After the Mission on Macbeth was achieved, the Great Fox flew low enough to bring Fox's Landmaster back in, but while on Titania, he used the tanks hover jets to enter the mothership through the back door.

As the Mission required the use of Slippy's experimental attack submarine, the Great Fox complied with Fox's orders to launch the Blue-Marine into the Aquas Ocean, by submerging itself halfway into the sea to drop off the submarine from the front hangar.

In the most important role it played in the war, the Great Fox came under a surprise attack from six powerful Copperhead Missiles under guidance from the advanced Invader III fighters in the Sector Z combat zone. Since the Missiles were launched at a short distance at an angled flight path, the Great Fox was unable to defend itself from the sidelines and landed the four Arwings to take out the attackers.

Due to the many battleships creating barricades to prevent the Star Fox team from reaching Venom's air space, after ROB sent out a signal to indicate readiness, the Great Fox moved into position to give cover fire and blast any cruisers to disable their shields and render them even more vulnerable to the Arwings.

After Fox defeated Andross in his palace on Venom, the Great Fox flew back to Corneria with the four Arwings in tow so the victorious Star Fox team could meet with General Pepper. In the midst of the General's promotional proposal and Fox's polite decline, ROB contacted Fox to inform him that the Great Fox were fully prepared to leave, motivating the Star Fox team to head off to their next Mission.

In the years following the defeat of Andross, the Great Fox soon fell into a state of disrepair, due to lack of funds (with freelance work becoming harder to come by) to keep up maintenance. Its exterior armor began to deteriorate, and it's engine power decreased considerably, to the point where the ship was only able to drift with its boosters. Also, the weapon systems ceased to work, as such Fox was unable to count on space support while chasing down and battling the resurrected Andross out in space above Dinosaur Planet, where the Great Fox was orbiting.

With the reward money received by General Pepper for successfully saving Sauria from destruction and the Lylat system from devastation, the Star Fox team were able to do exactly what Peppy had in mind and completely overhaul the worn out Great Fox. It now appeared as a much sleeker and cleaner looking ship, inside and out, and also added new equipment. This included a long-range transfer system that can send Arwings and Landmasters to a planet's surface when needed, though the team's leader Fox McCloud indicated that it had poor targeting systems. The ship served the team well, allowing Star Fox to appear where needed throughout Lylat during the Aparoid Invasion. Eventually, the Great Fox led a fleet of Cornerian Defense Force warships to the Aparoid Homeworld, where in the conclusion of the battle, a large swarm of Aparoid Crawlers attacked the Great Fox out in space, while the team was trying to gain access to the planet's core. Its systems compromised and, due to the lack of proper weaponry on exposed areas of the ships' hull, it soon fell prey and was infected by the machine-assimilating aliens. Before the Great Fox could be compromised, despite ROB knowing it not survive much longer and would result in their deaths, he did as he was told when Peppy ordered the ship to divert all remaining energy to the main laser cannons and vaporised the entire Aparoid city to clear a straight path towards the Anti-Laser Shield blocking the main entrance to the core. Against the four Arwing pilots pleading him to stay with them, Peppy deliberately ignored them by heroically spearheading the mothership into the shield to allow the four Arwings to get through, but this crashing blow crippled the ship and endangered Peppy and ROB's lives since the shield was undergoing a restoration of itself and would soon return and engulf them in an explosion.

After the Aparoid Homeworld went into meltdown, even though the Great Fox ship was destroyed by the shields restoration and the crew believed to have perished, Slippy managed spot a flashing beacon amidst the wreckage of the Homeworld, revealing that Peppy and ROB escaped at the last moment in the ship's bridge, which could also serve in an escape pod function. The pod, rejoining the team following the destruction of the planet, flew back to Corneria.
