Crimson Fox
History
New Prospect
For some time, the small asteroid world of New Prospect lived peacefully away from the bureaucracy of the Cornerian government and the tyrannic rule of Venom. The people remained in isolation, quietly, and away from the pains of persistent conflict between the two major powers.
During the Aparoid invasion, they were very fortunate to not attract the attention of the mysterious creatures. Word soon spread that New Prospect was a safe world. Immigrants who survived the trek through infested space came from all over the Lylat system, including Corneria and Venom. It managed to be a safe haven for everyone, but it was not to last.
During the two years after Star Fox wiped out the Aparoids, resources became scarce and famine spread. The small world could only provide so much for the population explosion. The people were quickly divided into the elite and the poor, no longer Cornerian nor Venomian. The selfish desires of the elitists yielded to the Bowman Empire to make great profit in exporting rare metals as the Empire demanded every ounce to the growing war machine. Bowman then sent an ambassador and a fleet to seize control of New Prospect.
The ambassador turned into a corrupt leader and asserted himself as the new Lord. The poor would be then be subjected into unfair laws and oppression just to crush more riches out of the population and please Bowman. Just as things were about to sink into slavery, a newly formed mercenary unit rose up to defy the new order.
Crimson Fox was founded by Rufus Leslie and the enigmatic Runner, to rid the world from the clutches of Bowman. The rebels grew into tens of thousands of desperate citizens to combat the overwhelming force. Nora, Rufus's granddaughter, and her team spearheads the resistance to inspire hope of salvation to the people.

Nora Leslie
Leader
Nora is the young leader of the Crimson Fox mercenary group who had a small career as a vigilante prior to the rebellion on New Prospect. Born on Corneria in 10 BLW (Before Lylat Wars), she is the only daughter to a separated military family. During childhood she lived with her grandfather Rufus when her parents were deployed to Katina to suppress the Venomian invasion. Her stepfather was the only parent returned alive, but had grown emotionally unstable for the loss of his wife. Nora would eventually abandon her stepfather after an physically abusive encounter and wound up homeless for a time.
Discovered by her worried grandfather, they both decide to begin a new life on the mining world of New Prospect. She grew up hard at work in Rufus's struggling spacecraft manufacturing facility and learned to fly an assortment ships under Rufus's direction. Crime and gang activity present around her residence caused her to became a vigilante of sorts, stopping criminals in her fighter to help appreciative distressed citizens and pay off business expenses.
Unfortunately, things turned to the worst after the Aparoids were defeated and Bowman Empire took control. Seeing people deprived of their well-being, Nora became emboldened to take on even more dangerous tasks against Bowman. Ironically, her acts of justice caused her to be targeted by the corrupted elite as a criminal and was hunted down by military forces. By the time New Prospect became a war zone, she agreed to join Rufus and the others in the newly formed group, Crimson Fox to lead the front lines.
It was then as Bowman's forces found and killed Rufus, Nora reluctantly became the leader of Crimson Fox. New Prospect was baring the full might of Bowman's fleet and it was just a matter of time before all was lost. Nora and her team heroically fended off the fleet as the remaining citizens escape to Corneria. Knowing that New Prospect must not fall into enemy hands, she obliterated the small world instead inside out. New Prospect was lost forever, but her people are safe.
Now she stands resolute on destroying Bowman and avenging her mother and grandfather.

Andy Bonobo
odd and EXPLOSIVE Engineer
Andy Bonobo is the primary head engineer and demolitions expert for the Crimson Fox. After the first defeat of Andross, his early career began in the subterranean mines of Macbeth where he would apply his scientific knowledge to increase mining output and design better machines. Many prototypes were odd, such as the potassium chlorate enhanced banana charges as a cost effective renewable explosive. However, his designs often resulted in less than catastrophic failures. He would continue his craft under much public scrutiny, suggesting they should remain open to new ideas.
He eventually designed his crowning achievement; a powerful vehicle equipped with new directed gravity beam technology called, Megamole, under Gus and Forger Co. However, Andy did not receive as much credit has he hoped from the company. He personally expressed his complaints, but thrown out of the premises due to his "violent" behavior. Alpha Industries, responsible in creating the Wolfen for Venom, sensed Andy's frustration and approached him. He was shown a promising contract with a greater about of pay which he eagerly accepted. Little did he know what future projects he would help build for Venom.
New Prospect was to be his next assignment and tasked to improve his gravity beam technology. Andy's advancements over the months yielded unforeseen strength of harnessing singularity power. Bowman was greatly pleased with potential of weaponizing the technology to better effect than Andross's black hole experiments of yesteryear. Andy openly criticized against the Bowman Empire of its intentions and that the technology should benefit all of Lylat. Bowman imprisoned and forced him to develop terrible weapons for the war machine. He decided to must stop them, but not without help. He snuck out and defected to Crimson Fox at risk of his own life which Nora after some convincing, accepts his aid.

Chip Canary
brash bro
Chip Canary was born into a family of crop dusters on the steppes of Fortuna. Before his teens, his great fascination focused on flying machines. He would spend time with the old former fighter pilots at his farm to understand sophisticated maneuvers and listen to the rich history of Cornerian spaceflight. Without permission, Chip would often take ships into the air for a joyride. His mother would scold him, but his father would encourage Chip's enthusiasm. After his 16th birthday, he enrolled at the Cornerian Flight Academy with great persuasion to the recruiters from his parents, as the minimum age limit was eighteen.
Even though it was his first year, his skills were not of a trainee, but of an expert. Chip's ego soared and became boastful about his progress. He skipped far ahead from his squadmates in his training regime, but his hasty progress felt threatening by some irritated training officers and jealous trainees. The higher-ups ordered his training to a slow pace. Frustrated by the turn of events, he dropped out of the academy much to the dismay of his father and joy of his mother. Rather than returning home, he continued his life as pilot, making deliveries in his ship his father loaned him.
Boredom began to eat at Chip. He remembered the exciting and adventurous tales of fighter pilots and wished for something that would allow him to make his mark in spaceflight history. As he searched for anything more exciting than his current work, his coworkers mentioned news of civil unrest on New Prospect. Chip felt that such an event was strange in this time in peace, but sounded intriguing. He took some time to look into the crisis and quickly developed sympathy for the rebels on the asteroid world.
He quit his job and flew to New Prospect for a new exciting life as a mercenary. He attempted to advertise his capabilities, but many recruiters dismissed him due to his age. Rufus, the leader of the Crimson Fox at the time, saw potential in him and assigned him to Nora as a squadmate, much to Nora's dejection.

Runner
mysterious Gentleman
Runner is Nora's personal advisor of Crimson Fox and unofficial guardian. While much of Runner's personal history remains hidden, few know his affiliation with Rufus Leslie dating back to his early thirties as a close friend. In the beginning, he came across ruffians stealing manufacturing equipment during an errand with Rufus in close pursuit. As the ruffians disappeared, Runner offered to track them down. The trail led to New Prospect's black market, which there he dealt with the thieves, finished a black market crime boss, and returned the equipment in one night.
Rufus was very impressed by Runner's efficiency as well as thankfully placing his trust in a shady but friendly stranger. Rufus asked about his skills and past, but Runner was very reluctant to answer at first. Realizing that the spacecraft manufacturing facility could use someone that knows how to protect assets, Rufus offered Runner a job in security. He accepted. The more time he spent in security, the more time Runner demonstrated his other uses as an information broker, sales representative, chef and musician.
At one brief moment, he was trusted to run the facility as Rufus caught word of her granddaughter's plea for help. When Rufus returned with a fearful Nora, the young girl tearfully shared her traumatizing story about her father to Runner. Feeling obliged, he thought it would be best to teach her how to protect herself. He taught Nora how to wield a blade, shoot a gun, and be persuasive. His lessons proved quite fruitful during Nora's teenage vigilante years, the foundation of Crimson Fox, and the fall of New Prospect.
As Bowman's forces dealt a mortal blow to Rufus, he gave his last will to Runner to take care of Nora. He willingly honors this, but lives in constant fear that his past may endanger Crimson Fox and more importantly Nora.

WImo
overly concerned medical robot
WIMO is a modified NUS model medical robot to perform physical aid and in medicine. He stores extensive knowledge of the diverse physiologies of all known species in Lylat Space. Space Dynamics built him under the standard specs the main mechanoid facilities on Corneria one year after Andross's first defeat. He was among the many hundred thousand WIMO's in storage, lying dormant in dark storage, ready for purchase by anyone in need of his services.
After a year, Rufus purchased and Space Dynamics shipped him right to the front door of his spacecraft manufacturing facility. He was needed as a precaution to potential accidents between the workers and dangerous machines and from possible attacks from threatening criminals. When the order is given, WIMO patches anyone up without question.
From then on, WIMO would help heal a variety of wounds from small cuts to thankfully rare horrid amputations. He even healed Nora's laceration the back of her right shoulder when Nora was first brought into the facility by Rufus. Interestingly the more he tended to the wounded overtime, the more his calming and concerned personality began to develop. This became increasingly apparent during Nora accidents in her teens.
By the time Bowman's forces took much control of New Prospect, engagements between rebels and the Bowman Empire were everywhere. WIMO had to be modified to traverse battlegrounds quickly to aid the wounded on open ground. His bipedal form was switched to tread platform with jets to help accomplish the job.
It was only then when Rufus succumbed to his wounds that WIMO felt a true personal defeat as he attempted to revive him. Because of this, he unknowingly modified his behavior matrix to be zealous in ensuring the survival of Crimson Fox.
