Story
In the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way, lies the Lylat System. A world technologically light years ahead of our own in space travel, robotics, cybernetics, and medicine. But there is one thing, all sentient lifeforms in the lylat system are bipedal animals. Fortunately, these creatures care about the environment and so all their technology is built to do little pollution and be as energy efficient as possible. Unfortunately, Dr. Andross is a man determined to push the limits of what science can do, consequences be damned. Andross builds a superweapon controlled by a basic ai: The Metal Smasher.
When demonstrated to the Cornerian Army, the weapon goes berserk and proceeds to go on a rampage. James McCloud and his team Fox squadron proceed to bring down the weapon. First by luring the weapon into a plasma stream and destroying its limbs. For his gross negligence, Andross is dishonorably discharged and exiled to the near dead world Titania for life. But he is captured by the space pirate Medusa. Medusa's space pirates, the Furies had been a scourge upon the Lylat System and as such Corneria's military had been building weapons like this to put her down.
Twelve years after Andross's disappearance, Colonel Pepper tasks James McCloud and his squadron to head up a task force to planet Venom. In the 12 years since Andross's disgrace, the war against pirates had ramped up as Corneria spread themselves thin bringing down world after world, with few prisoners taken by both sides. James took on this mission with the hope that Pepper will honor his contract and both him and his wife Savannah can leave the Cornerian army. Pepper tasks the Fox team to head out to the sea world Aquas. Pigma complains about taking this mission to a literal backwater, but James puts his foot down about it claiming that until we finish this mission we are soldiers. Upon reaching the airspace of Aquas, they are attacked by an sea fleet. Pigma is shot down in the skirmish while James, Peppy, and Savannah are captured by the pirates. They have a nice confrontation with Andross and Medusa on how this was nothing more than a setup. Taking you out of the picture allows them reverse engineer your ships and lead a full assault on Corneria, Fortuna, and Katina.
Left to stow in their cell, James, Savannah, and Peppy have a heart to heart about their lives to this point. James was nothing more than a bulheaded flyboy back at the academy, and Savannah came from a strict military family, and Peppy was the wingman (both socially and militarily) for James's antics. Their conversation is cut short when a sparrow named Falco comes in and unlocks the door. The trio ask why he's doing this when he's a member of the Furies. Falco explains that he was forced into the Furies due to his family owing captain Medusa a debt. For the last 5 years, his debt has always managed to increase thanks to him being provided room and board, along with any broken items or equipment. Sick of this, Falco leads them to the armory so they can fight their way off Aquas.
Once launched, the Arwings promptly wreck the prison complex they were in, but neither Medusa or Andros were in the base. Star Fox and the surviving prisoners proceed to head out to Aqua's spaceport, Neptune to take escape the planet and return to Corneria. But once they reach the perimeter of the spaceport, they find it is overrun by the same fleet that shot them down. But James has a plan, he makes a one man push through to the flagship but standing in his way is the #2 of Medusa, Wolf O' Donnel. They begin their dogfight while the others take out the ship only to be attacked by the Metal Smasher once more. With Falco and Peppy's help, Savannah shoots the smasher causing it to take out the flagship and shuts down the rest of the fleet. As for James and Wolf, James manages to get the drop on him by flipping around and shooting both of the wings on his ship. With the fleet taken out, Star Fox requisition the next ship ready to launch from the spaceport with a skeleton crew of the other prisoners. They had a home to save.
Meanwhile back at Corneria, Fox McCloud lays about in his bunk depressed. Just a few days prior, he was informed of his parents being M.I.A by the superintendent of the academy, Colonel Hanabero. As he turns away from the door, he's pulled out of bed by his squadmates: Bill, Slippy, and Kara. They need him up and ready to sortie because something has darkened the sky around the base:
Within the flagship, Andross and Medusa stand on the bridge while a holo-camera is set up in front of them. “Finally, we make Corneria acknowledge us as more than just mere nuisances to be wiped out.” says Medusa as she adjusts her captain's hat. For Andross, he smiles and responds: “Indeed, Captain Medusa I have waited for so long to make that asinine fool Pepper give me the acknowledgment that I so rightfully deserve. When we finish the assault, I want him and what's left of his staff to fall to their knees and kiss my paws for EVER BANISHING ME TO THAT WASTELAND!!!” “Commander Leon, is the fleet ready to fire?” asked Medusa. “All cannons are ready to fire while the dropships are prepped and ready.” said Leon, the XO of the flagship.
“Very Well, FIRE!”
Every ship in the fleet fires their main cannon at 40% capacity, promptly leveling the surface of Corneria. The only places that come out of the attack unharmed is Corneria City, the main base of the Corneria military, and their various spaceports only because they had energy shields on planet. After the bombardment ends, two faces appear before the inhabitants of Corneria.
MEDUSA:
“Citizens of Corneria, I HAVE RETURNED! Maryse, former general of the Cornerian army. 15 years ago, your leaders exiled me to Venom for trumped up crimes against the people of Aquas. But the only crime that happened there was the people wanted a say in the governance of their people. The Governor there proceeded to rise the sea level's in response and put the survivors in labor camps.
I was forced to turn against my own people while that monster threw me under the bus for that campaign. I will raze your planet to the ground if you don't turn over the Cornerian council's head Shawn Hanabero.”
The movie ends with drop pods reaching Corneria's surface and a massive disc moving into position.
