Great Fox

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.

Great Fox is stocked with all manner of supplies for the Star Fox Team, including food, clothing and replacement parts. In fact, Great Fox is the mobile home of the Star Fox Team.

The late James McCloud contracted Space Dynamics Co., Ltd., to build 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 Great Fox, is wired directly into the ship's controls.

Even though Great Fox rarely participates in the Star Fox Team's missions, it is a very important asset for the team.

Despite the impressive defenses, 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.

At some point, both the Great Fox and the Great Wolf comibed together to create the Ultra Lumen.

## **Schematics**

### **Engines**

Featuring 3 NTD-FX9 plasma engines, Great Fox was light-speed capable and had a real-space cruising speed that nearly matched the Arwing's, and could keep up the pace with the ships even when making the jump to light speed when entering warp zones. The ship's own defenses allowed it to survive in a variety of environments, allowing it to be able to enter a planetary atmosphere.

### **Laser cannons**

Power for its 2 powerful T&B-H9 hyper laser cannons was routed directly from the plasma engines, giving the ship the firepower of a Dreadnought-class heavy cruiser, with enough strength to tear through even a Zeram-class Cruiser's shields. In terms of combat, the Great Fox used its powerful weapon systems to aid the squadron's progression during missions when needed, from blowing apart asteroids to clear a straight flight path, to causing serious damage to massive battleships (such as the Venomian battleships that guarded the Area 6 access corridor to Venom).

### **Nerve centre**

Because ROB 64 was developed in conjunction with Great Fox and was hard-wired to the ship's primary computer, the ship was capable of always having someone onboard to operate controls and monitor battle progress. From the bridge, ROB could send and receive incoming messages and act in a logistical capacity by transferring supplies to the combat zone when needed. With the aid of the computers on the Great Fox, Slippy could also scan enemy force commanders to uncover a "Bossometer" for strategy.

### **Hanger**

Since the primary purpose of the Great Fox was to serve as a carrier & repair facility for the team's Arwings, Landmaster, and Blue-Marine, the ship was built with both a front docking bay and rear hangar, giving it a two way option to launch and take in any landing ships. Great Fox itself was capable of landing on planet-side spaceports, as well as having a limited aquatic capability (e.g. on Aquas, where it half-submerged itself to deploy the Blue-Marine).
