The Great Fox is the space aircraft carrier and dreadnought-class flagship that serves as mobile headquarters, launching platform, tactical support and residence of the elite Star Fox squadron, who travel across space defending the peace and innocent lives from other-worldly threats. It is equipped with 3 NTD-FX9 plasma engines that give it the capability to warp between planets. In addition, the ship is streamlined for atmospheric re-entry, making it capable of landing the Landmaster or Blue-Marine if necessary. The Great Fox is stocked with all manner of supplies for the Star Fox Team, including food, clothing and replacement parts. In fact, the Great Fox is the mobile home of the Star Fox Team. The late James McCloud contracted Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., to build the Great Fox, and took out an 80-year loan to pay for its construction. The Star Fox Team is still using the prize money from their mercenary mission to repay this loan. ROB 64, the robotic pilot of the Great Fox, is wired directly into the ship's controls. Even though the Great Fox rarely participates in the Star Fox Team's missions, it is a very important asset for the team. Despite the impressive defenses, the Great Fox is extremely vulnerable to certain types of attacks, but the Star Fox Team will gladly do whatever it takes to protect their home when away from Corneria.
Daemon Rising with a...SMASH![]
The Great Fox was temporarily seen as it sailed thru Cornerian City, a distant Sector within the Smash System. Fox and Falco were sparring atop the ship as a few Arwings and a Wolfen periodically shot it until Samus' Gunship arrived and declared for the veterans to be prepared to fight against the supervirus, Daemon. Peppy, Slippy and ROB were within the main cockpit and wished them luck before they rushed to the docking bay and lifted off in their Arwings.
