The official Japanese Star Fox 64 guidebook reveals that the Great Fox's creation by Space Dynamics was commissioned by Fox's father, James McCloud, who was involved in its design from the planning stage. Its enormous cost incurred in its construction resulted in James taking out an 80-year mortgage to purchase it, a debt that Fox is still trying to repay to this day.
This information also appeared in western material, such as the official western Star Fox 64 website and also the Star Fox 64 Official Player's Guide, and was also mentioned again in a 2011 Nintendo Dream magazine interview with the development staff of Star Fox 64 3D, where Takaya Imamura reveals that the Great Fox was taken out to the original Star Fox team's investigation on Venom that resulted in James' death.
