Husky Squadron Part 2: The Dogs of War

Prologue:

Seven years after the defeat of Andross, the flames of war have once again engulfed the Lylat System. A new foe, armed with seemingly endless fleets has assaulted the Lylat System, taking advantage of corruption and greed within the Cornerian Defence Force's intelligence divisions.
Their unstoppable advance has toppled the recently established democratic governments of Venom, Macbeth and Zoness, they laid siege to Titania and was only recently halted by movements based on last minute intelligence reports. The Star Fox team- revered heroes of the war with Andross- has gone missing. Now, the enemy is gathering its forces for another onslaught, more powerful and deadlier than the last.

However not all odds are stacked against the alliance of free systems defending Corneria, Katina, Fortuna and Aquas. The intelligence war is swinging in their favour, and Husky Squadron, a driving force behind the defensive campaign so far, is being reinforced and replenished. The Katinian fleet so badly mauled at the Battle of Macbeth is repaired and the Cornerians are pumping out more starfighters and battleships than ever before.

Commander Grey of Husky Squadron was promoted to Colonel, and was granted command of the entire fighter and bomber contingent on deployment with the Katinian carrier Archangel. The pilots emerged from the first round stronger than they were before, but at grievous cost. Four pilots from Husky Squadron fell during the fighting, and much of the 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing was destroyed.

Following an impromptu mission to retrieve two downed pilots, the Huskies went back to Rest and Recreation- to enjoy it while it lasted.

Once they go back onto active duty, they will be at the spearhead of a renewed Katinian Fleet, more ready for battle than at the commencement of the war more than a month beforehand. But will it be ready enough? For the custodians of Lylat don't know the true menace which they are preparing to deal with, one that is far more ancient and dreadful than any ever known to them…
