Background

Fox McCloud is a red fox and the main protagonist of the Star Fox series. He is sometimes referred to by the name of Star Fox, especially by his many enemies. He is additionally a pilot, combatant, adventurer, and the leader of the Star Fox team. Fox is the son of James McCloud, who edified him throughout his childhood to never give up.

Fox McCloud was a cadet at the Cornerian Defense Army Academy when he heard the news that his father, James McCloud, had met a violent end at the hands of the twisted genius, Andross. The senior McCloud had been betrayed by his own wingman, Pigma Dengar, and delivered into a deadly trap from which there was seemingly no escape. Only James's wingman, Peppy Hare, managed to limp home in his badly damaged starfighter.

As the only survivor of the original Star Fox Team, Peppy insisted that the young Fox take on the leadership of the group and form a new team of pilots. Thrust into the leadership role that he wasn't prepared for, Fox recruited the hot-tempered Falco Lombardi and the mechanical genius Slippy Toad to make up the new Star Fox Team. For a price, this crack group will fight against any threat to the Cornerian star system. Although it may appear that the Star Fox Team is motivated only by financial gain, it will only accept missions that serve to uphold justice.

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

Fox was born on Papetoon, but raised on Corneria by his father James, and his second father Peppy, who both always mentored Fox into never giving up and trusting his instincts. He exhibited exceptional aerial skills and even ground-based combat skills at a young age and joined the Cornerian Flight Academy along with Slippy Toad, Bill Grey and possibly Falco Lombardi. Five years after the evil mad scientist Andross was arrested, tried for treason and exiled to the outlandish planet Venom, General Pepper had received worrying reports from Corneria's observation station about signs of bio-weaponry activity, and sent James McCloud and his Star Fox team on a recon mission on Venom to investigate, but James and Peppy were betrayed by their fellow pilot Pigma and gave them to his new master, Andross. Peppy soon barely managed to escape captivity, but James was never seen again and was presumed to have been killed by Andross, with apparent rumored assistance from Wolf O'Donnell. Peppy returned from the incident as the sole survivor to apprise Fox of his father's fate. Emotionally apprehended by the news, Fox dropped out of the Academy in order to avenge his father's death, but couldn't bring himself to believe that his father was truly gone. Peppy took Fox under his wing, and together composed a new Star Fox team, recruiting Falco and Slippy to the team and inheriting his father's Great Fox, ROB 64 and the great financial debt. Even though Peppy was older than all the other Star Fox Team members, he declined the leadership role and insisted that the younger Fox McCloud take over the team after Fox's father, James McCloud apparently made this his last wish. Feeling guilty about sending James to his doom, General Pepper also took it upon himself to manage Fox's future career. Fox knew that Bill would join Star Fox if he was asked to but didn't want to pull Bill into this troubles. A few years after the disappearance of James McCloud, Star Fox was called upon by General Pepper to stop Andross's empire and preserve the Lylat System. Fox led an incipient Star Fox team throughout the battles in the Lylat System, running into allies and enemies alike. His friendship with Bill Grey was revealed during one of these missions, and he went head-to-head with his rival Wolf O'Donnell of Star Wolf and others. Once Star Fox reached Venom, they fought through its defensive lines or Star Wolf all the way to Andross's base. Despite the protests of his team, Fox faced Andross alone. After Fox vanquished him, Andross self-destructed, inclined to take Fox with him. Fox screamed at his impending doom, thinking it was the end... but then Fox's father, James McCloud, appeared to guide him out of the base, while in the way out he verbalized the famous quote "Never give up, trust your instincts" and mentioned how vigorous Fox has become, determinately evanescent when prosperously exiting the base. Fox then left victorious as Andross' base exploded abaft him. They headed back to Corneria, where General Pepper offered to officially integrate Star Fox into the Cornerian army. With all due respect, Fox declined, stating that they preferred to do things their own way, while hearing a call from ROB that the Great Fox was ready to go and decreed that it was time for them to go too. Four years after the Lylat Wars, the tranquillity times have taken a heftily ponderous toll on the Star Fox team. After a training session with Falco (involving Game Boy-like contrivances and Arwings kindred to the pristine Star Fox design), he receives a Distress Signal from Katt Monroe. Falco left abruptly to endeavor and avail her, much to Fox and the rest of the team's protests. They then decided to visit the Cornerian Research Base on Titania, meeting up with the officer in charge of the base, Captain Shears, and he accepted their request, though under one condition. Fox and his team were to wipe out some Andross remnants who were making off with some "data" relating to Andross' research. When Fox started fighting off the Androssian vessel, he then spotted another Arwing disembarking the ship, and realized that Falco seemed to have "defected" to the Androssians. Falco then commenced firing on Fox, thus coercing Fox to go into a dogfight with Falco. Falco taunts that barrel rolling was a bad move because Fox wouldn't have known where he would be after the move was over, but Fox turned the table by flying into the sunlight where Falco couldn't see, and launched a charged homing laser bolt, downing Falco. At the Great Fox's hangar, Peppy scolded Fox for fighting with Falco, shaming him and asking what his father would say before he asked why Fox got into the Dogfight in the first place. Fox then explained that Falco had emerged from the Androssian ship, ostensibly siding with them. Peppy then felt perturbed at what he's hearing. Fox then admitted feeling suspicious about Shear's true motivations. Shortly after Slippy was sent to the base to investigate (much to his chagrin, as he had deplorable recollections from the last time he visited the planet), the accused Androssians hail the Star Fox team. It turned out the "Androssians" were genuinely Katt Monroe's team, the Hot Rodders, and that they were never affiliated with Andross. In fact, the reason why they had been on the planet is because they discovered data pertaining to the project that Shear's is involved in and was intending to expose it. After learning from ROB that the project authentically involved cloning Andross, they learned that Slippy had been captured by the research facility under Shear's command. Following Peppy's directions to Slippy's cell, Fox and the Hot Rodders cooperated to foil Shear's plans and rescue Slippy. Fox and Shears had a sword duel that mostly involved Shears chasing Fox around on his Titanian River Boar. Lamentably, the Andross clone had matured far more rapidly than anticipated thanks to Slippy accidentally speeding up the process and the clone liberated itself from the cloning container in a fit of rage by seeing and remembering Fox. Fox endeavored to apprehend Shears, but when Shears endeavored to elude, he ended up being killed by his very own endangerment, and Andross then endeavors to suck Fox in. Upon Slippy's return, they then notice that the Landmaster is still in the docking bay, and Fox endeavors to utilize a Nova Bomb on Andross to endeavor and ravage him, eradicating the base and proximately killing himself and Slippy in the process. After learning that Falco was taking some time away from the team at least for the time being, Fox heeded Falco's last request and told Katt that she and her friends should disband the Hot-Rodders. Four years later, Fox was training with Slippy (albeit this time with a model resembling the Game Boy Advance), and he beats Slippy (causing him to remark that Slippy's not authentically an adequate rival). He asks ROB for any job requests, but ROB informed him that no official requests have been made for them, but he does have a concern for a particular planet. Fox then decides with the remnant of the Star Fox team that they should endeavor and preserve it. Presumably, they sent a request sanction to General Pepper for carrying out the mission. Eight years after the events of the Lylat Wars, a way more cocky and immature Fox McCloud calmed the conflict on Dinosaur Planet (later penned as "Sauria") by teaming with Prince Tricky of the EarthWalker tribe and returning the SpellStones to their rightful positions in two of the planet's temples, liberating a confined Krystal by returning the five remaining Krazoa Spirits to their rightful positions, thwarting the orchestrations of General Scales, and vanquishing a reawakened Andross, who was abaft the troubles on Sauria. He was verboten from bringing his blaster into the mission by Pepper as a condition to accepting the mission, as Pepper believed that they needed to solve the quandary without resorting to brute force, albeit he nonetheless managed to make do with a staff that he found near the landing site which pristinely belonged to Krystal. After that, he returned to the Great Fox, and General Pepper paid him for preserving Sauria. He and Falco Lombardi (who had left after the events of the Titanian incident.) were reunited, and Krystal joined the Star Fox Team. Immediately afterwards, the Star Fox Team responsibly used the large amount of reward money that Fox received to rehabilitate the Great Fox, as well as oiling ROB 64 and upgrading the Arwings and Landmasters. A year since the events of the Saurian Crisis, after arriving at Fortuna to assist in ending an Androssian rebellion led by Andrew Oikonny at General Pepper's request, Fox discovered something bigger and more serious has just begun when Oikonny's flagship was shot down by a "strange creature". After it made an attempt on Krystal, Fox ordered a return fire and destroyed it, where it left behind an interesting object which Peppy prompted him to collect before making a hasty retreat from an approaching armada. After sending the Core memory to Corneria's research labs, General Pepper and Beltino Toad briefed Fox and his team about the uprising of the Aparoid race, while telling a tragic tale about a sole Aparoid destroying an entire Cornerian fleet seventeen years ago, fearing it was foreshadowing the future. Beltino assured Fox that his Federation scientists were making a full analysis but urged that they could understand more if a complete, undamaged specimen were brought in. Pepper then instructed Fox and his team to investigate a distress signal coming from the outpost base on Katina, suspecting Aparoid involvement. Once destroying the force leader and heading to collect its Core memory, Fox noticed that the distress signal had stopped transmitting, only to find out that the traitorous Pigma was behind the S.O.S signal and stole the core memory in order to sell it, deducing from Fox's protest that it was important. Though angry at the sight of Pigma and losing the Core memory, Fox opted to give chase to him. Tracking Pigma to a dodgy hideout, Team Star Fox's search provoked an aggressive attack from various criminals after they learned who they were. Star Wolf arrived on the scene to settle old scores but it ended badly for Wolf's team, who then revealed that Pigma was thrown off of Star Wolf and he couldn't have hidden at the hideout without being driven out. Star Wolf's newest member, Panther Caroso fell for the beauty of Krystal and slip gave that they might find Pigma at Fichina. On Fichina, after shutting down the protective shield, turning the climate control center back on and getting attacked by sentry bots, Slippy revealed that they had undergone Aparoidedation, while Pigma flew down to sadistically reveal he was "pulling the strings" and raising an infected shield generator. Once the machine was downed, the climate control center was saved, as Peppy made an ironic remark about "those with strong wills", "allies or enemies". Fox said that it sounded like someone he knew. Finding Pigma's trail leading through the asteroid belt and cutting through the Aparoids, Fox watched as Pigma underwent an unusual transformation and fused with an abandoned space station, forcing him to destroy the assimilated station and take back the core memory. Fox looked on in silence as Pigma faced a painful destruction. Heading back to Corneria and transmitting the core memory, General Pepper then revealed that their plan was to take the fight to the Queen, or else the threat would never end. But their return home to Corneria was interrupted when Krystal caught the telepathic sounds of "cries of agony" coming from Sauria. Fox was horrified to see that Sauria's dinosaurs were victims of Aparoidedation caused by Aparoid hatchers and decided to save the planet once again. Once the Aparoids were wiped out, Fox and Krystal had a short but sweet reunion with Tricky, who offered to take care of things so they could "come back on their honeymoon", sparking a friendly argument but to Fox's embarrassment. Fox and the team then learned the hard way that their absence left Corneria vulnerable to a colossal Aparoid armada, decimating the majority of the Cornerian defense fleet, and lost contact with General Pepper as a result. Fighting on the surface and rebooting the communications, Fox was then ambushed by Aparoids, but then shockingly was saved by none other than Wolf and his team. Siding with their rivals against a common foe, Fox brought down many Aparoids, including reluctantly taking down General Pepper's infected flagship, (but Pepper was timely saved by Peppy). Wolf then departed from the planet after remarking that he hadn't come here to save Fox, whilst giving a familiar sounding piece of advice, prompting Fox to reconsider his thoughts about his rivalry with Wolf. After regrouping with Beltino, the plan was set to take the new self-destruct program to the Aparoid homeworld and fire it into the queen, destroying their race. Defending the orbital gate, Star Fox shipped out via a portal to make their final stand against the Aparoids, accompanied by the remaining Cornerian fleets. On the planet's surface, Fox and Krystal took out the hatchers to try and disable the large shield covering the planet's core, but the shield reformed barring any entry. At the cost of their mothership, Peppy and ROB, Fox reluctantly respected Peppy's will and ordered that the team moves on, without him. Flying down the tunnels, Star Fox were then joined by their rivals, Star Wolf, just one more time, where the three Wolfen led a lethal barricade away from the Arwings to let them reach the queen. Ignoring the queen's imitations of those closest to him, including his father, Fox fought the Queen, breaking through her defenses and delivering the program, only to have to battle her one more time before she could escape and created an anti-body. Escaping the planet at maximum velocity, Fox theorized that the whole thing was one big entity and that she tried to bypass evolution by stealing souls, but knowing that "you have to be born with one". Reuniting with Peppy in space, Fox admits he knew the old rabbit would be all right all along, and knowing that Pepper would be fine too and feeling Wolf's team would live to fight another day, thanking his friends for their support.

Standard Equipment

*Krystal’s Staff: Krystal's Staff is a powerful weapon that belongs to Krystal, though was used by Fox in Star Fox Adventures. It is an incredible tool with many uses, some of which include acting as a switch to open a door, a lever to lift heavy rocks, a means to break crates, firing projectiles, firing ice, opening up seals, etcetera.

• Blaster: Blaster is an advanced energy firing pistol that is kept often by Fox, 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 Fox when activated, making him completely invulnerable to harm for a limited time.

• Bafomdad: Returns Fox McCloud back to life after their life is depleted.

*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.

• Landmaster: The Landmaster tank was originally being developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd. as an armored exploration vehicle. However, when the Star Fox Team required a land based combat vehicle, it was converted by adding stronger battle armor and weapons systems. The only prototype is now part of the Star Fox Team's arsenal. Although primarily a ground based assault weapon, the Landmaster can also hover for a short time, and can roll from side to side to help it avoid land mines and enemy attacks. In Star Fox: Assault, the Landmaster's appearance improved greatly: The design looks more complex and the turret can now swivel in more directions which makes it more effective. It now has four all-terrain wheels instead of traditional tank treads, which decreases traction but increases mobility, and its barrel roll technique now creates a deflection shield around the vehicle. Unfortunately, it can no longer uses Nova Bombs, has a much slower rate of fire (though the projectiles are significantly more powerful), and has lighter armor. It also has been modified to be an anti-aircraft vehicle.

• Blue-Marine: The mechanical genius of the Star Fox Team, Slippy Toad, kitbashed the Blue-Marine out of spare parts and scrap metal. Although originally intended as a recreational vehicle, it was pressed into service when the Star Fox Team was called to action on the water world of Aquas. Since some of its parts originally came from Arwings, the Blue-Marine shares some characteristics with the star fighter. For example, it has a similar laser cannon, and by rolling it can generate an electromagnetic force field. It is a testament to Slippy's engineering skill that the Blue-Marine could be made battle-worthy on such short notice. 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.

• • 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.

Notable Techniques

*Fire Blaster: The multipurpose Fire Blaster, the first upgrade, allows one to shoot a fireball from the Staff. It works for ground combat, but it's also useful for activating Fire Blaster switches, blowing up Bomb Spore Planets, lighting torches, and fighting enemies from the sky.

• Ice Blaster: The Ice Blaster is devastating in combat. Freezing foes and then shattering them with a single blow from the Staff. The range is limited, so it's not so good against flying enemies. The Ice Blaster also extinguishes flames.

• Rocket Boost: Gives Fox the ability to boost himself straight upwards with the Staff to reach high ledges.

• Ground Quake: For defeating a swarm of enemies, it also stuns medium-sized foes, exposing their weak spots. The Ground Quake attack takes a while to develop, and Fox is vulnerable during the windup. Getting hit then interrupts his attack. The quake also activates specific ground switches.

• • Super Ground Quake: The Super Ground Quake can stun some of the largest enemies. Fox can take damage while the attack is developing, but an enemy hit will not interrupt the Super Ground Quake.

• Forcefield: Generates a forcefield around Fox protecting him from attacks and reflecting them back at the opponent.

• Portal Opener: Fox can use this spell to open magically closed metal doors throughout Dinosaur Planet.

• SharpClaw Disguise: Fox will wear a disguise to fool the enemy into thinking he’s an ally, he cannot use the staff while in the disguise.

• Blaster: Blaster is an advanced energy firing pistol that is kept often by Fox, 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.

*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.

• 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 Fox will use various different weapons and deftly shoot with each one, along with calling for his Landmaster or Arwing, if he needs to go underwater he will call for the Blue-Marine, with Krystal’s staff he will use martial arts along with some of the elemental powers in its disposal and its energy projection. 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.

Note: This is Fox McCloud of Star Fox 64, Star Fox Adventures, and Assault. The previous games are before the continuity reboot, Command is both canon and has alternative timelines with Key of Destiny, and Zero is another continuity reboot.

Arwing Original Continuity Reboot Continuity Zero Continuity Star Fox Command 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 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. 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.

Landmaster Reboot Continuity Zero Continuity Background The Landmaster is a tank used by the Star Fox Team, designed by Slippy Toad and was originally being developed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd. as an armored exploration vehicle. However, when the Star Fox Team required a land based combat vehicle, it was converted by adding stronger battle armor and weapons systems. The only prototype is now part of the Star Fox Team's arsenal. Although primarily a ground based assault weapon, the Landmaster can also hover for a short time, and can roll from side to side to help it avoid land mines and enemy attacks. Since Corneria's defense forces do not have a tank corps, the Star Fox Team's Landmaster is the only vehicle that can do the job. This dropdown contains the synopsis of Landmaster’s history. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! In "Star Fox 64", the Landmaster tank makes its first appearance, looking very similar to the T57 AAP Tank, sporting the familiar blue and white color schemes of other Star Fox team vehicles. There are two blue G-Diffuser fins at the back, and the Star Fox team logo is adorned on the sides, just like the Arwing. A large laser turret sits on the front end of the car. *In Star Fox 64, the Landmaster has the ability to launch bombs and use a booster, but lacks these attribute in Star Fox: Assault, though it can still do a shorter boost. In the Main Game mode of "Star Fox 64", the Landmaster tank is only used on two missions. On the red planet Titania, the Landmaster was deployed because of the sandstorms that covered the skies, in the search for Slippy Toad who crashed onto the planet. On Macbeth, Fox needed the Landmaster to closely follow and derail the Forever Train. In "Assault", the Landmaster has a technicality and aesthetic design update, now having the wheels instead of tank treads. When Fox was quickly surrounded on Katina's Outpost Base by the new and overwhelming Aparoids, the new improved Landmaster was summoned to help hime deal with the threat. But the Great Fox's targeting systems were not entirely accurate enough for desired transmission. On the forever winter planet Fichina, the heavy Landmaster was used in place of the Arwing to drive through the blizzards that made flight unsuitable, however, the tank was too large to fit inside the Climate control center. On Sauria and the Aparoid Homeworld, the Landmaster was used in conjunction with the Arwing to allow a strategic switch in vehicle conditions, it was still nevertheless too large to take into the central caves and ruins.

Arwing Reboot Continuity Star Fox Command Zero Continuity 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.

Background The Blue-Marine is a medium-sized, experimental, and unpredictable assault submersible designed by Slippy Toad, and constructed by Space Dynamics Co., Ltd, with help from his father Beltino Toad, for the Star Fox Team to use on the mission in Aquas in the Lylat Wars. Originally, it was designed for recreational use, but after Fox told Slippy that they were going to do a mission on Aquas that needed a submersible, Slippy and Beltino modified the submarine as an assault/attack experimental and unpredictable one for battle and war instead of the original idea of it being recreational entirely. The Blue-Marine's maximum dive is 2,000 space meters below the surface level of water, making it a powerful, destructive, and unpredictable assault submersible. During the Lylat Wars, because the Cornerian Intelligence detected Andross's Empire causing havoc in the oceans of Aquas but had no resources to deal with it themselves, the experimental Blue-Marine was first (and last) used in battle on the orders of General Pepper by the Star Fox Team. There it was used to destroy the underwater bio-weapon called Bacoon who was controlling and polluting the planet. It's widely believed that when Bacoon was defeated, the pollution caused by it went away, and Aquas reverted to the way it looked before the Lylat Wars. Specifically, islands once again popped up on the surface.
