Mission Report

HISTORICAL CONTEXT: Venom is a planet on the outskirts of the Lylat System. Prior to the incident in question, it was known to be inhospitable though not unable to sustain life. Venom gained some notoriety when General Pepper—leader of the Corneria Defense Force—convinced a military tribunal to banish the disgraced scientist, Dr. Andross, to serve out a life sentence there.

INTEL: Five years after Andross's exile to Venom, our long-range scanners began detecting unusual activity on and around the planet. General Pepper contacted former military colleague James McCloud—leader of Star Fox. At the general's request, James agreed to conduct a reconnaissance mission to Venom with teammates Peppy Hare and Pigma Dengar.

Peppy recounts that, upon arriving, the squad discovered Venom's atmosphere now appeared to be toxic. As the team prepared to investigate further, a squadron of enemy fighters ambushed them. At this point it became clear that Andross had been secretly amassing forces there and potentially conducting illicit experiments as well. It also became clear that Andross had paid Pigma to betray his Star Fox teammates.

Air combat ensued during which Pigma targeted Peppy. James blocked a bomb blast with his Arwing, allowing Peppy to escape. James was last seen losing altitude over Venom, while Pigma appears to have joined Andross in his assault on the Lylat System.

It should be noted that James's sacrifice and Peppy's escape provided General Pepper with an advance warning of Andross's invasion. Despite the mission's tragic outcome, it no doubt prevented an even greater tragedy for the Lylat System.
