In both the original Star Fox and Star Fox 64, Venom is the final level in which the player must confront Andross. In the original game, there are three possible routes to Venom in which the player must fight through waves of fighters, missiles, and other orbital defenses before fighting a boss and descending down to the surface. In Star Fox 64, the world is guarded by the massive Bolse defense satellite as well as a fleet of capital ships at Area 6. The player is given the choice as to which route to take in order to reach Andross.
Venom also appears as a stage in the Nintendo GameCube game Super Smash Bros. Melee, though the fight itself takes place on the Great Fox.
In the cancelled Star Fox 2 Venom appears as a standard "Enemy Base" Level, having the appearance of a lush, green forest.
In the Star Fox Command, a race known as the anglars are found to have survived in the acidic oceans of Venom, who invade the Lylat system.
[edit] Venomian Army
The Venomian Army refers to the force that Andross commands against the forces of Corneria and the Lylat System.
In Star Fox 64, Andross's army was largely composed of apes and lizards.
The army, at least, the remnants of the former Venomian Army, was not featured in Star Fox Adventures. Although the SharpClaw Army did supposedly receive foreign military aid from them in spaceships, fighter crafts and equipment.
In Star Fox: Assault, even after the defeat of Andross, the Venomian Army still had the numbers to be considered a significant threat and were recruited under the command of Andross' nephew, Andrew Oikonny, as the Oikonny Rebels. Unfortunately, the Oikonny Rebels lost their leader at the battle over Fortuna and had to take a back seat to the new menance of the Star Fox universe, The Aparoid Swarm. In the aftermath of the War against the Aparoids, the Fortuna Status Report details that the Oikonny Rebels were completely wiped out along with the Invading Aparoid Forces. Oikonny, however, managed to survive, which is later revealed in Star Fox: Command.
[edit] Defenses
In the original Star Fox, the Venomian Army has at its disposal a large space fleet which blocks the route to Venom. In Star Fox 64 the fleet seems to have increased in size as both Sector Y and Venom itself are defended by massive armadas.
