The Lylat system, a planetary system filled with unique planets. In the past, the Lylat system has been in constant peril due to evil forces that had intentions to corrupt the Lylat System to gain dominance and power. But, one heroic team have successfully stopped these threats from succeeding their goals, and that team has made a name for themselves across Lylat. This team, I am talking about is none other than the mercenaries-for-hire themselves, Star Fox. Over the years, the Star Fox team have helped the Lylat System exterminate its most powerful foes including the psychotic monkey scientist, Andross, and the machine hybrids known as the Aparoids. But as many know, the Star Fox team did go through some harsh times, one of these hardships was during the time the Anglar Empire were starting to make their move on the Lylat System. What was it that caused so much trouble for the Star Fox team? Well, a couple of years after the Apariod Invasion the Star Fox team have decided to go their separate ways and pursue their own goals.
Peppy Hare, who was the advisor for the Star Fox Team, has taken up the position as General of Corneria for General Pepper, the former general who was sadly confined to his sick-bed. Falco Lombardi, the ace pilot of the Star Fox team, had decided to take up jobs in hopes of finding the similar excitement he experienced as a member of Star Fox. Slippy Toad, the mechanic of the Star Fox team, has finally found love on the Planet Aquas, in the form of a pink toad named Amanda. Finally, Fox McCloud, the leader of Team Star Fox, and Krystal, the team's telepath, were finally realizing their love for each other until one faithful day where that love changed forever. Fox purposely forced Krystal to leave the team for his concern for her safety, and that broke Krystal's heart. As a result, she left the team to pursue her own path away from Fox. Therefore, Fox with his old robot friend, ROB 64 roamed the Lylat System in the Great Fox II.
Due to the impact that the Anglar Blitz was having on the Lylat System, the Star Fox team finally came back together to stop the Anglar Emperor and his cronies. Eventually, the Anglar Empire fell and the Lylat system found peace once again , but that victory alone would be the team's last. Fox decided that he didn't want to live another scenario like the Anglar Blitz ever again. Therefore, much to Falco's annoying pleas, Fox disbanded the team. So, once again the Star Fox team are living separate lives but this time with peace and tranquility.
Enter the next generation of Star Fox!
