Description

Now this one has been brewing since I was in High School.

There was a time where I was thinking of doing a Star Fox story. But not one where it would star Fox McCloud and company; instead it would've followed the adventures of his father, James. I even had it laid out in my head on what I wanted to see too, everything from stories taking place on the planets of the Lylat System and the rise of Andross and his fall into becoming a Villain.

The premise was that Corneria was facing a few crisises (when is it not). The Lylat System was being bombarded by several Pirate fleets stealing whatever they want, and trying to stay neutral in planet dispute on Sauria (the dino planet from StarFox Adventures) where the Lizard Imperium was establishing a forceful colonization. The Imperium and Corneria had a very uneasy truce, one that has placed them in a cold war for centuries.

In order to Maintain peace and also deal with System's issue of dealing with the pirates, Corneria's President creates a Taskforce of civilian enforcers to deal with it; for she believes that sending any military mighty would be mistaken by the Imperium as an act of war. That's where James McCloud and Peppy Hare come into play.

Lead by Commander Pepper on board the Newest Super Carrier, the October North, James and Peppy would go up against the pirates. Later they would be joined by Wolf O'Donnell and Pigma Dengar, thus becoming the first Star Fox team. Meanwhile, Andross is a renown scientist who has many political and Military connection that gives him unlimited resources. To him, everything is a experiment and he gladly does whatever he wants in secret. One of his aides, Alisha Fairchild, would become James' wife and give birth to Fox.

There was going to be a lot of awesome space battles, internal fighting, great character development, conflict, humor.... you know... Space Opera stuff.

But alas, it got too big of a project and it fizzled out. It's still fun to go back to it once and a while.... but I think this one would have to stay on the shelf.

A couple fun facts to this Picture: James' robotic legs are a throwback to the original SNES game, where the Star Fox team had their legs amputated in order for them to handle the G-forces better when flying. 

The holster on his leg is based on what World War One pilots would do. They would put their pistols inside their boot for easy access.

The ship that's in the picture was my own design from when I developed the story. I called it the Cornerian Fighter Class (CFC) Dogstar. 

And StarFox was really James' callsign when he was Planetside Police fighter pilot... the name stuck for the team because Peppy thought it sounded cool.
