Prologue
Starfox Echo
The Angular empire was destroyed by Fox, but his victory came at a heavy price for the ace pilot. Falco had formed his own team Star Falco, while Slippy went to Aquas to be with his fiancée, Amanda. However Fox wasn't broken until the love of his life, Krystal joined the rival organization of Star Wolf, electing to stay with Panther even though Fox personally apologized in front of everyone. With this Fox had no one left but the robot who had been with him for years, ROB. Fox found some work on the outer rims of the Lylat System, only to disappear with rumors of him being shot down. Fox used this to his advantage and went into a life of solitude. This was until he ran low on supplies and came upon a colony above the planet Parum which was in disarray. He learned of the constant attacks from a group of space pirates in the area.
The military of Parum was completely unorganized and any new recruits were killed by the space pirates. However Fox's intervention balanced out the conflict. He helped train trainers for the recruits even taking some under his wing. In the year that passes he notices three special talents among the recruits. With three new teammates he thinks of using the name Starfox. This however just lead to Fox remembering the echoes of his comrades reasons for leaving Starfox, but the one that hurt the most was Krystal's

An Echo, a part of his past he just wanted to go away. He know knew what he wanted to do, he approached his team as they prepared to repel a serious space pirate attack.
"Echo Team...Move out!"
