Great Fox

VEHICLE TYPE Dreadnought-class command cruiser OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Dual laser cannons DEFENSIVE CAPABILITIES Hybrid energy-reinforced hard plating

INTEL The Great Fox is the name given to the high-performance command cruiser used as a mobile base of operations by independent paramilitary team Star Fox. Team founder James McCloud spared no expense in commissioning the warship from Space Dynamics, taking out an 80-year loan to pay for it. The significant debt he incurred is one that Star Fox continues to carry today.

Meticulously designed, the Great Fox serves as the team's headquarters during extended campaigns, with residential units, engineering facilities, and a vehicle launch bay for rapid deployment into combat zones. Its advanced plasma engines are capable of interplanetary warp travel. But the heart of the operation is the briefing room, a multipurpose lounge containing a state-of-the-art Holoviewer, on which Star Fox can review maps, access intelligence reports, and communicate with clients over vast distances.

Crucial to the ship's functioning is the team's ROB64 unit, a navigation and support android tasked with much of the Great Fox's daily operations, from piloting to maintenance. ROB64 also monitors mission progress from the Great Fox, deploying critical supply drops to support the team in the field.

While typically stationed outside active combat theaters, the Great Fox is capable of direct enemy engagement, boasting high-power laser cannons and a hybrid shielding system that combines an energy barrier with ultrahard plating. This shielding is durable enough to protect the ship from low-impact laser fire, asteroid collisions, and even the heat and friction associated with atmospheric entry.

ASSESSMENT A cornerstone of the Star Fox team's success, the Great Fox provides transportation, asset deployment, operational support, and even some of the comforts of home.
