At the beginning of Star Fox: Assault, Andrew Oikonny's rebellion is seen to be utilizing three models of humanoid mechas, which, going by the official Japanese guidebook for Star Fox: Assault, seem to be known as サルデス (Sarudesu). This can be transliterated as "Sardes".
• サルデス MK III S (this seems to be a prototype, judging by Fox's comments. It later appears infected by the Aparoids.)
• サルデス MK III DB
• サルデス MK III DG
These are actually meant to represent evolved forms of the Shogun Warriors featured near the end of Star Fox 64's Sector Y stage, who too in the Japanese version of SF64 are referred to as サルデス (Sarudesu). What is called the Shogun Lord in the English version of the game is also called サルデスII (Sarudesu II) in the Japanese version.
As サル (Saru) is the Japanese word for monkey, and デス (Desu) means death, the literal translation of the name in English should be "Monkey Death".
