Invader II Fighters were a class of star fighter used by the Venomian Army during the Lylat Wars.
History
They were first encountered by the Star Fox Team when the team came to the aid of the beleaguered Cornerian Defense Force at the battle of Katina. Improvements over Invader I fighters include being much faster, smaller targets, and being flown by more intelligent pilots. Despite these improvements, they are still fragile ships, and they were no match for the Cornerian Army and the Star Fox team.
- “Venom's Invader II Assault Fighters suffer from numerous design flaws and are vastly inferior to Corneria Fighters. To overcome their shortcomings, Andross has ordered all Invader IIs to be painted with Corneria markings to confuse the Star Fox team.”
