Welcome to Lylat Today,
first edition of Lylat's comeback with your news anchor Darell Janson.
"Thank you. As you all know the war between self proclaimed Emperor Andross
and the now consolidated Lylat Alliance has been going badly, lack in war
technology near the start of the war cost several planets to Andross secretly
amassed army of advanced war machines. StarFox, the elite mercenary team has
helped greatly in repelling the onslaught from the Alliance's main worlds. But
even their efforts are not enough to fully turn the tide in the war. In recent
weeks the sudden appearance of another group of experienced combat pilots,
calling themselves StarWolf have constantly hampered our forces efforts,
especially those made by StarFox. But in a press conference today, General
Pepper, commander of Lylat's forces addressed these concerns and hinted at a new
plan to push Andross forces back and give us a significant edge in the days of
battle to come." [Cutaway to General Pepper's speech] "... the push to
reach Corneria by Androssian forces will be stopped here and now! We have come a
long way in our efforts to bring our technology and training to a level where we
can efficiently combat the different forces of this mad dictator. And in the
near future there will be a powerful thrust back at our attacker perhaps not in
numbers but in pinpoint accuracy. The military has a new ace up it's
sleeve..." [Cut back to anchor] "Experts speculate that the new war
effort will be concentrated to covert ops and pinpoint strike on key areas of
the enemy's territory, though other rumors have been flying about what exactly
General Pepper is planning."

Welcome to Lylat Today, edition 2 of Lylat's comeback with your
news anchor Darell Janson.
"Thank you. A cheer of victory today as Andross' forces were repelled from
Fortuna with the combined efforts of StarFox, newly liberated Katinian
reinforcements, and a small team of some of Lylat's best soldiers and pilots. As
we speak the reinforcements are securing Fortuna and enhancing it's defenses to
resist future attacks. The casualty list for this massive blood bath on our
side was an estimated 227 deaths. Most of which were Cornerian soldiers onboard
the transports that were destroyed by StarWolf. Our condolences go out to the
families and friends of the brave souls that died. However a preliminary search
team has discovered that there are approximately 17 Lylatians unaccounted for
among the wreckage so far. Further information is being withheld at the request
of the military. The reinforcements from Katina however remain a mystery, as
Andross newly erected blockade on Katina was not destroyed or repelled though
sources on planet indicate that there were visible explosions in the night sky a
few days before. There has been no report of capital ship movement in our forces
to Katina as the military has stated and they report that unfortunately the
blockade remains. Plans about destroying the capital ship blocking this
important are reportedly 'In the works' In other news, General Pepper has made a
startling declaration that the young stable hybrid fox/cat found at Fortuna has
been released into the custody of David Miller, a mercenary who not long ago
threatened the doctors at the Cornerian General Hospital. Pepper insists that it
is in the best interest of the young boy, and refuses to subject him to further
testing as it may be inhumane and difficult in the boys young age. His name has
been withheld by request of the military."

Welcome Lylat Today,
edition 3 of Lylat's comeback, with your news anchor Darell Janson.
"Thank you. Another victory for the Lylat Alliance today as Crusaro Base, a
heavily guarded Venomian Air Defense base deep behind enemy lines on Titania has
fallen to our forces. The base was obliterated by a heavy air strike not long
ago, after Intelligence found a weak point in their defenses. A preliminary
landing team has completed reinforcing the air in order to establish a Lylatian
base near the remains of the heavy installation. Recent reports indicate that
Lylat forces have successfully defended it against multiple attacks and have
established a firm foothold on Titania in which to launch further attacks.
Meanwhile further attempts by Venomian forces to capture Fortuna have failed,
adding another victory to the sudden multitude of them. Casualties for both
operations was minimal with only 42 accounted dead and 11 MIA. And also we have
news of the initial 17 missing from Fortuna. Six of them were recently recovered
from a Venomian transport not far from the Front lines at Solar. One more of the
17 was reportedly killed during the rescue attempt."

Welcome Lylat Today,
edition 4 of Lylat's comeback, with your news anchor Amber Wilkson.
"Thank you. Darell Janson has the night off. In the news today another
victory for Lylatian forces in the seemingly endless list of victories over the
past few weeks. The Venomian flagship, known as the VISS Phoenix was
successfully captured by a combined force of veteran pilot and covert op
specialist with the support of the main naval forces. While the heavy carrier
was severely damaged in the upper level decks the much needed carrier is
repairable and is currently being retooled in an undisclosed dry dock in
Lylatian space. This victory is a heavy blow for Venomian troops who have been
suffering many losses in the past while. Unknown sources credit the victories to
a newly formed crack team of specialists though the military denies the
existence of such a team, saying quote, 'The allocation of Lylat specialist to a
main core unit would be spreading our forces thin and be a risk that we would
only take in the most extreme circumstances.' "
