Star Fox Team

Elite pilots defending the Lylat System.

The Star Fox Team is an elite group of mercenary pilots who defend the Lylat System. In Star Fox Command, the team has disbanded a few years after the events of Star Fox Assault. Fox McCloud patrols the galaxy with ROB 64, while Falco Lombardi has become an independent mercenary, Slippy Toad has retired to spend time with his fiancée Amanda, and Krystal has joined the Star Wolf team after breaking up with Fox. Peppy Hare serves as commander of the Cornerian Defense Force under General Pepper, who remains alive and in charge. The team's legacy is built on courage and technical skill, but Command shows them scattered, with Fox rushing to battle the aquatic Anglar alien race alone at first.

Fox McCloud patrols the galaxy with ROB 64, learning of the Anglars, a race of aquatic aliens bioengineered by Andross living beneath Venom's acidic seas. Led by the Anglar Emperor, they wage war across the Lylat system. Fox rushes to battle them as they attack Corneria. The game features fourteen playable characters, including Star Fox members Fox, Falco, Krystal, Slippy, and Peppy; Star Wolf members Wolf, Panther, and Leon; supporting characters Bill Grey and Katt Monroe; Fox's father James McCloud; and new characters Amanda (Slippy's fiancée), Lucy (Peppy's daughter), and Dash Bowman (Andross's grandson). Non-playable characters include ROB 64, Beltino Toad, and bosses like the Anglar Emperor, Pigma Dengar, and Octoman. Andrew Oikonny appears as a minor antagonist but is not a boss fight.
