The '''Venomian Army''' sometimes referred to as Androssians, was the army of the planet [[Venom]] which operated under the control of [[Andross]]. The army was destroyed by both the [[Cornerian Defense Force]] and [[Star Fox (game)|Star Fox]] at the end of the [[Lylat Wars]], although small groups of it remained at least up to the time of the Aparoid invasion. These groups were kept at bay during those times, being forced to stay on [[Fortuna]] as a last resort before the [[Aparoid]]s invaded. | The '''Venomian Army''' sometimes referred to as Androssians, was the army of the planet [[Venom]] which operated under the control of [[Andross]].

Formed in 3BLW, most invasions of a planet were planned operations broken down into three stages. The first stage was for Venomian forces to gain air superiority over the enemy, either through overwhelming numbers, superior technology, or both. The fact that most enemies, like the [[Cornerian Defense Force]] didn't suspect attacks of their magnitude helped in their goal immensely. The initial wave of starfighters would draw air defense units into meeting them head on, allowing a second wave of fighters to come in and overwhelm the preoccupied defenders. With the skies clear of enemies, the second stage began as bombardment craft proceeded to rain destruction on the now-defenseless ground units. With most ground forces destroyed, the third and final stage began with shock troops deployed to round up and enslave any survivors. | ||

After the Lylat Wars and the destruction of [[Andross]], the Venomian Remnant was formed under [[Andrew Oikonny]], the nephew of the former emperor. With the [[Macbeth Weapons Factory]] destroyed, the planet [[Fortuna]] was chosen as a suitable area to construct a new base of operations. Some time before the [[Aparoid Queen#Aparoid Invasion|Aparoid Invasion]] and the events of Star Fox Assault, the Cornerians had discovered this base and had engaged their forces in orbit. Backed by the [[Star Fox]] team, the few ships they could muster were quickly decimated, and Andrew Oikonny fled to the planet, where his ship was subsequently destroyed by the team. | |||

In this game, Andross was exiled to planet Venom due to his experiments that nearly turned [[Corneria]] into a lifeless wasteland. During his exile on Venom, he managed to amass a very large army, also creating planetary defenses, such as the [[Bolse Defense Satellite]], and [[Area 6]]. Many factories, armories, and munitions plants were also constructed to provide support for his forces. Once Andross's army was assembled, the Venomians quickly cut through Cornerian defenses, overwhelming them with heavy planetary and atmospheric assaults, before establishing control on the surface. | ||
