Cornerian Army

The Cornerian Army is a fictional military force in the Star Fox series of video games. They are responsible for the defense of Corneria, and the whole of the Lylat System under Cornerian control (such as Fortuna, Katina and the defensive area of Sector Y). Unfortunately, the army doesn't seem to do a good job at it; they are constantly marred by repeated defeats. In fact, many fans have made fun of the assumed uselessness of the army, as in every game featuring them, they are either conquered, defeated, or otherwise incapacitated and unable to assist the player in defeating the enemy. While clearly their inability to effectively fight is an attempt by the game designers to give the player more of a role in missions, some jokingly mock that, without the Star Fox team, the Lylat System would've been enslaved years ago.

Space Dynamics is a Cornerian defense contractor that manufactures weapons and vehicles for the Cornerian Defense Forces.

Soldiers

The Cornerian army seems to be an all-canine force. All the Soldiers, as seen in , are anthropomorphic dogs. When the Star Fox team gets an award speech (as seen in Star Fox 64), there are uniformed dogs, or foxes on both sides.

History of the Cornerian army

The History of the Cornerian Army is marked by constant defeats....

Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64)

During the Lylat wars of Star Fox 64, the army was decimated by Andross' army on Corneria, with its (supposed) capital city occupied. Whether the army stationed there was completely wiped out, or otherwise indisposed by other conflicts away from the city, is unclear. However, it is clear that they are unable to come to your aid, as you and your wingmen are forced to take back the city by yourselves.

Later, at the Katina base, you actually team up with a somewhat effective fraction of the army, lead by Bill Grey, against a fleet of Andross' fighters. However, once the fleet's mothership arrives, you once again have to take the initiative and fight the boss yourself, though it's pretty clear what is occupying the forces in this instance.

The army is mentioned fighting the enemy with Star Fox in most of the other levels, but they are hardly ever seen.

Aparoid Wars (Star Fox: Assault)

Prior to the Aparoid invasion in , the Cornerian Army was fighting with the last of Andross's last resistance forces, led by Andrew Oikonny. They were winning at first, but soon the Venomians had the upper hand. The near defeated Cornerians were saved, once again, by Star Fox.

The Cornerian army is, probably, instantly defeated by the Aparoid invasion. The Katina Base (which is either a different base, or an upgraded version of the Star Fox 64 base) was the first place to be occupied by the Aparoids.

In Corneria City, which has been invaded by the Aparoids, the Army, once again, doesn't help out here, but there are many dog soldiers which may have been infected by the Aparoids. There is also enemy aircraft that doesn't look like Aparoid craft. They may have been captured Cornerian ships.

The only engagement in which the Cornerian Army joined in was during a space battle above Corneria, but they are of only limited help.

The Cornerian fighters look very, very similar to the V-wing starfighters of Star Wars.
