Star fox mercenary group
Star Fox is a famous mercenary group known by almost everyone in Lylat. Founded during the Meteo conflict by James McCloud it quickly earned fame and respect in their trade. The first squad consisted of ex-sargeant James McCloud as the leader, his close friend Peppy Hare and greedy Pigma Dengar as the team's mechanic. At some point the team temporarily merged with Katina Blizzard, led by Otto Grey, but due to the tension between the leaders pf two groups, the alliance quickly fell apart.
After the incident on Venom few years before Lylat Wars, Star Fox disappeared and slowly faded into darkness. However, thanks to the initiative of Fox McCloud and Peppy Hare, the group was reactivated and quickly got back into the spotlights.
Currently the team houses four members (five counting the robot) and one supporter in person of retired Peppy Hare. However, there is a rumor that Star Fox wants to find a new crew member...

We don't need to introduce the most known fox mercenary in lylat, Fox McCloud.
Born on Papetoon briefly after the colonisation of the planet, Fox McCloud was a son of a famous merc James McCloud and his wife Vixy Reinard. He grew up in a nearly utopian environment, until everything started to crash down on him... After the horrific events uncovered in Adrien Andross' laboratories, resulting in sending him onto Venom, Fox's father was sent to check strange activities on the planet's surface. It was a trap set by the crazy scientist to capture James' team. Because of Pigma Dengar's unexpected treason, McCloud's father saved his friend, Peppy Hare's life by sacrificing himself. Fox was heartbroken when Peppy finally arrived at Papetoon to inform the family about the dark news. Young McCloud swore to himself he will become like his father and take revenge on every single villain in Lylat. With the help of Peppy Hare, Fox quickly reactivated the destroyed Star Fox group, once again bringing the peace into Lylat system. Fox McCloud earned the status of a hero by saving Lylat multiple times - defeating Andross, thus ending the Lylat wars, saving Sauria, aka Dinosaur Planet during the times known as "Saurian Crisis", and fighting off the Aparoid kind. |

Nothing much is known about Krystal. She is a powerful telepath with the time-space cotinuum bending skills.
Originating from a planet outside the borders of Lylat, Krystal was forced to leave her home after Andross took over her homeworld. Her path crossed with Fox McCloud's when she received a distress signal from Sauria, also known as Dinosaur Planet. A wannabe emperor named general Scales imprisoned her inside the crystal floating over the Krazoa Palace. In order to free her, Fox McCloud had to collect all Krazoa spirits being hidden all over the planet. After the saurian crisis, Krystal decided to join her savior's team and changed her name to Krystal Kerrigan. |

Slippy is one of the best mechanics known in Lylat system, and Fox McCloud's best friend.
Being a son of a one of most famous scientists, Beltino Toad, Slippy grew up being surrounded by knowledge and science. Even during his youngest days he worked in a small car shop on Papetoon earning additional cash. When his father noticed his son's unusual skills, he instantly sent him to a one of the best schools on Corneria, but after few months Toad left the school because of the "stiff atmosphere and lack of fun". Along with Fox McCloud and Falco Lombardi he attended to the prestige flight school on Titania, simultaneously working with Owen Phoenix over the prototype model of Arwing mark I. It was Slippy who brought the Great Fox back to life after many years of stasis after the accident on Venom.In three years he, alone, accomplished a task a normal engineer team would work on for eight years. He is a cheerful and optimistic person and, despite his looks, is a really strong and agile. |

Falco Lombardi is a overconfident mercenary often wanting to work alone.
Falco was born on Aquas during the times of food crisis on the planet. He helped his family by working in water pump stations. Despite difficult childhood, he was a very optimistic and cheerful person, but the hard early years made him silent and slightly egoistic. During the times in Titania Flight Academy he was assigned to work in a team with Fox and Slippy and the three instantly became friends. The open approach of Fox made a great influence on Lombardi's self-esteem and personality. He became more open, but still keeps most of his secrets to himself. Right before the saurian crisis he started to go on many lone missions, often breaking the contact with the team. It's known around Star Fox team that he probably was hanging around with one of his best friends from childhood, Katt Monroe. Falco is an excellent pilot and even better sniper, though his big ego is often more of a obstacle for the team. |

ROB64 is a tweaked model of original Space Dynamics NUS-3a24 Flight Assistant and Autopilot Mobile Unit, repaired by Slippy Toad.
NUS-3a24 was the most all-around model of Space Dynamics AAMU robots, mainly because of the customizable Virtual Intelligence chip and Humanoid Wireframe. During the repairs, Slippy accidentally replaced VI chip with the professional Artifical Intelligence chipset, making NUS an itelligent being capable of not only taking the control over Star Fox's dreadnought, but also providing help in medical bay, helping Slippy in the Hangar or just annoying Falco on Fox's request. After the Aparoid Invasion, ROB's body was terribly damaged. Thanks to the kindness of Owen Phoenix from Space Dynamics Laboratories, ROB64 was presented with a bright new custom body made uniquely for his motherboard. Rob proves especially useful during space fights, where he can provide additional supplies for the team. |
