'''Area 6''', also known as the '''Venom Air Defense Zone'''<ref>''"Entering Venom Air Defense Zone."'' - Fox (''Star Fox 64'')</ref>, is the name of a space station and penultimate stage in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', operating as [[Andross|Andross's]] strongest and final line of military defense above his home planet, [[Venom]]. Various space corvettes, freighters, minefields and even fully functional space stations fill the void beyond [[Sector Z]] and [[Macbeth]], working to impede and annihilate the [[Star Fox Team]] as they pass through the area en route to Andross. Area 6 is comparable to the [[Bolse Defense Outpost]], the space station on the opposite end of Venom, however, Area 6 is  considered a [[Hard Mode]] stage, when taking into account the amount of skill required in order to complete it.  
'''Area 6''' is an area of space in orbit above the planet [[Venom]]. It is the location of a major conflict during the Lylat Wars in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''.


Because it is a space station, the only vehicle capable to navigate space is the [[Arwing]], and thus all the other characters will be aiding [[Fox]] in the same throughout the level. The final obstacle between the Star Fox Team and Venom is the mechanical fiend, [[Gorgon]]. Using a wide array of attacks, including the summoning of energy balls, disappearing and reappearing, charging energy, and unleashing a heavily damaging beam, this boss keeps the Arwing motile throughout the entire battle. The boss' weakness is it's core, which it only exposes upon taking enough damage. Fox will earn a "Hit +10" for defeating Gorgon, and gain access to Venom below.
== Overview ==
 
Area 6 is the location of the most convenient atmospheric re-entry point in striking distance of [[Andross|Andross']] home base. For this reason Area 6 is the most heavily defended region of space in orbit of Venom. The area was protected by thirty-one Umbra-class Defense Stations, seven Harlock-class Frigates, twelve Zeram-class Cruisers, minefields, swarms of fighters, five Ninjin Missiles, and the Gorgon battle station.
Once Fox obtains 300 hits in Area 6, the level [[Medal]] will be awarded.
 
==Trivia==
*It seems that even [[General Pepper]] realizes the danger of this stage, evidenced in his on-screen conversation with Fox before the stage gameplay.<ref>''"It's almost over! We are in your debt. Come back in one piece, Fox!"'' - General Pepper (''Star Fox 64'')</ref>


== History ==
=== Area 6 During the Lylat Wars ===
In the closing moments of the Lylat Wars, the [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox team]] made a brazen attempt to force their way through Area 6 to attack Venom. Despite throwing everything at the Star Fox team, Venomian forces were unable to stop them. Throughout this mission, Fox and his team summon the Star Fox mothership, the [[Great Fox]], to help fight the Venomian ships. In a last bid to stop Star Fox they deployed the [[Gorgon]], hoping it would destroy them for good. Fox and his team managed to destroy the Gorgon and procede to Venom.
