Long ago, Ingenious scientist Andross, a native of the fourth planet Corneria, is driven to madness and nearly destroys the planet using biological weapons. General Pepper exiles Andross to the remote planet Venom. Five years later, Pepper detects suspicious activity on Venom, he hires the Star Fox team (including James McCloud, Peppy Hare, and Pigma Dengar) to investigate. Unfortunately, Pigma betrays the team and Andross captures James while Peppy escapes from Venom and informs Fox McCloud, James' son, about his father's fate. Fast forward to today, Andross has once again invaded the Lylat System. General Pepper has turned to a new Star Fox team lead by Fox McCloud and it's other members, Falco Lombardi, Slippy Toad, and Peppy Hare to save Corneria and it's people and to free the Lylat System once again.
