- “Enemy Recon:
Andross's mug adorns the front of the Dorisby. Even uglier are the ship's torrents that zero in on your Arwing. The Dorisby, like all battleships in Sector Y, cannot be sunk. However, it can be disarmed. Blast the turrets, and, for extra hit points, shoot at the black and yellow bunkers on the ship's sides.
Farewell to arms:
The cannons mounted on the battleships easily elude your Arwings's targeting system, so you'll usually have to fly in fairly class in order to get a lock on the turrets. Such confrontational tactics make you an easy target, so rather than waiting to get a lock on your target, fire away and pelt the cannons with your lasers.” - —
Dorisby-class Battleships were large, heavily armored battleships used by the Venom space armadas to battle the Cornerian Fleet during the Lylat Wars.
Appearance[]
Adorned with Andross's imposing face at the front, the cuboid-shaped warships were armed with two laser turrets located along the top of the ships, and supported enough armor to be practically invincible against even Smart Bombs. However the turrets, along with four bunkers situated in pairs along each side of the Dorisby, could be easily destroyed by starfighter-grade lasers, rendering the battleship impotent.
In the games[]
Star Fox 64/3D[]
A large force of Dorisby and Grazan battleships made up the Venom fleet that engaged the main Cornerian battle fleet at the fierce melee of Sector Y, under the command of Andross's lieutenant who controlled the Shogun Warlord aboard the Saruzin flagship. Despite Dorisby and Grazan battleships being employed in large numbers and backed up by the lethal Shogun infantry, the Venomian ships failed to prevent the Star Fox Team from penetrating their battle lines and destroying their flagship, scattering the fleet in defeat. The Dorisbys were soon retired.
Star Fox Zero[]
Dorisby battleships were seen in Sector α trying to fight the Cornerian Fleet. Three Dorisby battleships also proceeded to flank the Salvadora, and were also involved in the fight on Corneria late into the war.
