The most prominent Cornerian character is Fox McCloud, the protagonist of the Star Fox series. Fox leads the Star Fox team, a mercenary group of pilots dedicated to defending the Lylat System from various threats, most notably the evil forces of Andross. Other notable Cornerian characters include his father, James McCloud, and his mentor, Peppy Hare, though Peppy is technically a hare, his close association and role within Cornerian society often links him.

The development of their advanced technology is central to the narrative, enabling the space combat gameplay that defines the Star Fox franchise.
