Introduction
Corneria, fourth planet of the Lylat system, is no more.
Roughly one year after the Apparoid Invasion, General Pepper died of a strange, unknown illness. A new general, a female feline named Scarlet, soon took his place and turned Corneria into one giant city. The planet of Lylat City was born. Scarlet also formed a democracy, putting representatives from each planet into a voting system, much like America's.
Fox and Krystal (much to everyone's exclamation of 'It's about time') have gotten married. Shortly before Pepper died, they had two children, James and Christy McCloud. Fox put James into a training program as soon as he was able to walk, and sent Christy to stay with her "Uncle" Slippy for a while. Consequently, James has become quite a fighter while Christy became both a weapons and ship genius.
Approximately four years after the founding of Lylat City, several planets, for no apparent reason, renounce their place in the Lylat Republic (as it came to be called). This seemed harmless at first, so it went unchecked. But soon, the planets start forcing others to leave the system as well by way of violence or bribery. The General decided that the "Free Planets of Lylat" must be taken down and forced to reenter the voting system.
It has now been ten years since the Apparoid Invasion. The Lylatian Civil Conflict has split whole planets apart, sometimes even physically. The Star Fox team still does its best to keep peace in this time of war, but even Fox knows that he is getting old. Since Peppy's retirement, the team has struggled on even the simplest of missions. Fox is now training his children, James and Christy, to take their place, but he is still skeptical about their readiness.
