3 SAFETY WARNING 4

Certain visual images can cause a small percentage of

people to experience a seizure, flashing lights and or
patterns that can appear in Video Games. Even those
people who have no previous history of epilepsy or seizures may have a condition that has not yet been
diagnosed. Photosensitive epileptic seizures can
appear in a number of forms and the symptoms usually
include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face
twitches, shaking or jerking of legs or arms, becoming
disorientated, confused or a momentary loss of
awareness. Seizures may also cause convulsions and a
loss of consciousness that could result in injury from
a fall or impact with nearby objects.
Parents are advised to watch for and ask their children
about any of the above symptoms - teenagers and
especially children are more likely than adults to
experience seizures. Stop playing immediately if you
experience any of the above symptoms and consult a
doctor at the nearest opportunity.

Following these precautions may reduce the risk of a

photosensitive epileptic seizure.
4

Play in a well-lit room.

Avoid play if you are drowsy or fatigued.

Sit at a good distance away from the screen.

Take regular scheduled breaks and never play
for more than an hour at a time.

If you or any of your relatives are prone to, or have a

history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before
you play.
WARNING TO OWNERS OF PROJECTION
TELEVISIONS
Avoid repeated or regular use of video games on largescreen projection televisions as still pictures or images
may cause permanent picture-tube damage or mark the
phosphor of the cathode-ray tube.

constant supply of ground

forces - known as G R U N T S
(Genetically Revived UNiversal
Tactical Sentient). Fiercely loyal,
bred for combat and totally
expendable, these are the backbone of Earth's new breed of
warriors and defenders.
After one year the fleet arrives at
Besalius in 2604 and swiftly
engages the Breed across the
system. The battle is a long and hard
one. The Breed are not going to give
in without a fight and the aliens lack
of intelligence is more than compensated for by their ferocious nature in
battle.

Advances in technology and space

travel in Earths near future allow us
to venture further out even beyond
our solar system. In the year 2600
much of the planet's population have
left our blue-green orb and formed
colonies on the worlds of the
Besalius 'binary' star system. All
seemed peaceful in these fledgling
colonies but as the last shuttle
arrived in 2602 they were attacked
by a terrifying alien race that would in
T H E B R E E D '.
time be nicknamed 'T
These attacks seemed to be random
with little or no thought or logic, but
they were devastating nonetheless.
Under such an assault the colonies
4

had no choice but to send out a distress call to Earth. In 2603 Earth
had mobilised a great fleet of U n i t e d
S p a c e C o r p s attack cruisers in
answer, putting their very best and
brightest at the helm. These ships
now made the year-long trip to the
Besalius system - hoping that they
would not arrive too late. Every
cruiser was equipped with the latest
in technology and weapons and stocked with a full compliment of ground
assault vehicles and fighters. These
ships were the vanguard, sent from
earth into the void and carry inside
their vast hulls an array of genetic
gestation pods, capable of growing a

The Colony War takes its toll on

Earth's resources as well and during
the campaign they are stretched to
breaking point. In 2624 the USC
forces
claimed
victory
on
B E S A L I U S , but not without cost the colonies had been devastated
and the fleet badly damaged to a
point that only the U S C D a r w i n was
capable of making the journey back
to Earth. Captained by Saul Richter
(now a legend with over two hundred
victories against the Breed under
his belt), war weary and battle
scarred, the ship and remaining
crew began their journey back home.
It was in 2625 that the veterans of
Besalius finally returned to their
home system to find that instead of
a hero's welcome, something else

was
waiting.
The Breed had
outflanked them and
in a swift move eliminated any human
opposition; they were now in complete control of Earth. The colonies
were nothing more than a diversionary tactic - a plan to pull the bulk
of the planet's defence forces away,
leaving it ripe for invasion. The
population had been enslaved or
devastated, the survivors had been
forced into labour camps and made
to construct the Breed's machines
and installations.
But humankind was not quite ready
to descend into darkness just yet;
the USC Darwin was moved into
orbit around the Earth and remained
there under a cloaking system.
Saul's plan was to make key 'surgical
strikes' upon the Breed's incomplete
infrastructure, supporting the
reported pockets of resistance. The
remains of mankind waged a guerilla
war under the leadership of the
charismatic Carla Alvarez.
With the firepower of the hidden
cruiser, its endless supply of
GRUNTS and the skills of Carlas
forces behind the enemy lines the
Captain hoped that the tide would
turn in favor of the human race

3 HUD 4
The U S C G R U N T armour comes with a built in display that details the
environment and condition of the operative. Providing a simple Heads
U p D i s p l a y (HUD) readout of their health and vehicle armour. Alongside
this is navigational Compass Reticule that also gives distance and range
to Waypoint not to mention an aiming overlay crosshair to provide
increased fire accuracy.
The HUD shows the following information:
4 COMPASS
This large circle has the four main
compass directions around the
outer edge. Your Waypoint appears
as a small indicator pointing to the
outer edge and this always points to
your next objective location. You will
also find your crosshair at the centre
of the circle. The waypoint heightindicator shows you whether the
waypoint is higher in relation to your
actual position (arrow up) or lower
(arrow down).
4 HEALTH STATUS
A gauge measures how
much health you have,

if this depletes fully you're dead. Next

to the indicator is also an icon of the
character that you are currently
controlling. Under 25% you will bleed
to death, over 50% you'll heal back to
90% health.
4 SQUAD HEALTH STATUS
These indicators show the healthstatus of your team.
4 FORMATION INDICATOR
If the red point appears on the
screen a teammember left your

The commands are as follows:

WEAPONS
ASSAULT RIFLE

SNIPER RIFLE

THE USC 'COBRA-R340'

ASSAULT RIFLE

THE USC 'SUREKILL-L220'

SNIPER RIFLE

This is the primary assault weapon of

the USC ground forces. It has a
compact design and a solid build,
advanced manufacturing techniques
and materials used in the weapons
construction allow for a more
modular design.

This is the latest addition and

refinement to the popular class of
'Longshot' Rifles used by Earth
forces.

F1 - CLOSE IN Brings your squad closer to you.

F2 - SPREAD OUT Causes your squad to move
further away from you.
F3 - WAIT HERE Your squad will wait here until told
to regroup.
F4 - REGROUP Your squad will return to you.
F5 - CEASE FIRE/FIRE AT WILL
Orders your squad to stop firing
or fire at will
F6 - FORMATION CONTROL Cycles a number of preset
formations.
F7 - MEDICAL ASSISTANCE You will be given a medipack by
your team-members.
F8 - AMMUNITION CALL Your team-members will give you
an ammo pack.

14

The weapon is capable of a sustained

auto fire or a secondary grenade
mode via the integral grenade
launcher. Recoil suppression and
venting allow the weapon to remain in
operation for longer periods of time,
much more so than the Colony
counterpart the 'Shiver' 2360 AR.
During the war against the Breed
the 'Cobra - R340' saw widespread
use in many different combat
environments and therefore is
configured for operations in a variety
of weather conditions.

During the war with the Breed the

'SUREKILL' was in use throughout
the Besalius system and distinguished itself as the premier Sniper
weapon in the USC.
The weapon is designed to be silent
and has a very limited muzzle flash,
the slug that it spits out is a
refinement of the 7.62 20th
Century NATO round and is capable
of
penetrating
the
Breed's
armoured casings and causing
severe impact trauma damage. It
comes equipped with a 12x scope
and is extremely light and durable, like
the 'Cobra' it can operate in a variety
of conditions.

THE USC 'SNUFF BUDDY - M4'

SUBMACHINE GUN

THE USC 'GENOCIDE DELUX'

ROCKET LAUNCHER

Shotguns have always been in use in

Military and Police forces since the
need to disperse slugs in a wide area.
While they lack the range of a standard Assault Weapon the Shotguns
of the USC Earth Forces pack a
serious punch when you're up close
and personal.

The Breed are numerous and often

assault in great numbers, they have
a highly armoured skeleton and often
take a good few hits with regular
weapons to take down. So the USC
R&D team produced the 'Atrocity'
HMG.

Pitched between an Assault Rifle and

a Heavy Machine gun is the 'Snuff
Buddy' SMG, the second most
popular close assault weapon of the
USC Earth forces. The weapon is
lighter and easier to handle than the
'Cobra' and can produce a higher
rate of fire.

Sometimes you need a bigger punch

than even the HMG can provide, so
you turn to the oldest weapon known
to man.

The weapon is light and has two

modes of fire; the secondary mode
of fire unloads a wider spread of
slugs in a greater arc and sacrifices
power for increased area of effect.
While the primary fire mode focuses
the weapon's slugs into a smaller
area for increased stopping power.
The no-nonsense design and construction provides an intimidating
weapon for use in many hostile
weather conditions and environments, a proprietary anti-jamming
mechanism
ensures
smooth
operations and a longer shelf life.

The weapon has a high velocity

cycling barrel that spits out slugs
faster than normal assault weapons.
It has a higher capacity magazine and
gas-vent cooling systems that keep
the barrel temperatures normal and
within safe operating limits. The high
penetration slugs that are fired from
the weapon can usually deforest a
small area, cutting down trees and
Breed alike. It comes set with two
fire modes; while both spit leaden
death at high speeds the secondary
fire mode unleashes a wider spread
of fire at the expense of range and
speed.
The weapon however requires a
strong GRUNT to lift it and takes a
short while to spin up; it is best suited for support and defence.

16

The comfortable design and construction, along with the materials

and the ease of use makes the
weapon a good all round choice for
many operations in the USC ground
attack squads. Depending on the
mission parameters the weapon can
also be configured to mount a scope,
which can be used to spy out further
than the normal sight. While the
drawback is range, this is an
excellent way to recon an area
before continuing any further
(Without engaging Binoculars).
Like all USC weapons this one is also
configured for a variety of combat
theatres and hostile environments,
featuring anti-slip grips and gas-vent
cooling. Primary fire on the 'Snuff
Buddy' produces a sustained burst that
is quicker than the R340 Assault rifle.

The Rocket Launcher, fitted with an

integral scope and the latest in
stabilising technology, this weapon is
at the peak of Earth's newest projectile weapons technology. Highgrade construction materials ensure
that the 'GD' is capable of extended
operation as internal heat is vented
through several heat sinks and coolant tanks. Once more like the rest of
the USC arsenal the 'GD' can
operate in a variety of weather
conditions and environments. It has
two fire modes: The primary fire is a
traditional line-of-fire weapon, the
secondary fire engages the 'Piper'
tracking mechanism that monitors
the orientation of the weapon and
guides the projectile to the point of
impact indicated by the crosshair.
While requiring some practice to use
the rocket can be successfully
guided to the impact point hopping
over walls and past certain obstacles. In primary fire the weapon will

for secondary fire due to mishaps
during testing, and often the rocket

origin or blew up harmlessly on the
ground away from the target.

come into contact with the air - the

result is a highly concentrated
searing flame that can barbeque a
chicken in a few seconds or render a
human body into a toasty in the time
it takes to say 'light me'.

HEAVY FLAMETHROWER

USC STATIONARY GUNS

THE USC 'CREMATOR' HEAVY

FLAMETHROWER

USC 'UBERGUN'
STATIONARY GUN

Whether it's the Breed you're

melting down into 'slag' metal or the
vast copious forests of your mother
planet, you need a weapon that can
spit fire faster and further than a
can of 'Gray Be Gone' Hairspray and
a lighter. The USC R&D poured their
collective technical minds into the
design of a Heavy Flamethrower and
after a few hard months of
research, they came up with the
'Cremator'. The weapon is surprisingly light and fairly compact, the
backpack fuel cell and the armoured
tank take up most of the space, this
protects
the
wearer
from
premature explosion due to hostile
fire from the rear. There is a three
valve two stage combination pipe
that mixes a refined version of the
Darwin's vehicle fuel with an liquid gel
substance, when the two mix and

Man portable weapons of mass

destruction are all well and good, but
sometimes the USC needs to defend
a single area with more firepower
than a lone GRUNT can handle. This
is the job of the USC 'UBERGUN'
Stationary Gun. A Platform based
weapon with a single mode of fire and
placed upon a rotational ball and
socket joint, allowing it freedom of
movement in a defined arc. The
weapon of choice is a modified
Dropship 'Ubergun' that can spit
leaden death at a high rate of fire.
Usually the 'UBERGUN' is placed
upon a high vantage point or used in a
choke point of a valley or other such
area. The recoil suppression system
built into the weapon and the
platform allows for a high degree of
accuracy and devastating firepower.

USC SQUAD ARCHETYPES

--------------------------------N o t e 0 2 1 : A short description of the USC Squad Archetypes follows listing
the offensive and defensive capabilities of each USC unit.

For security clearance reasons information on the Breed in this document

has not been released at this time - those with EYES ONLY clearance are
allowed to view this information, command level staff and upwards, unless at
a time of emergency - covered by section 31A of
the USC Operations Governing Code.
--------------------------------GRUNT
Your
basic
unit,
the
GRUNTS of the USC Darwin are all round soldiers and given
basic training with a variety of
weapons. They have light offensive
capabilities and light defensive
capabilities. They move much faster
than the other units and are plentiful
in supply.

HEAVY GUNNER
The favoured unit when you
need to conduct a heavy
assault upon a particularly welldefended target. The USC Heavy
Gunner is certified to use the
'ATROCITY' and other large calibre
weapons. The GRUNTS armour has
been modified, fitted with strength
enhancers and a polymer sealing
NANITE group that acts to close
minor breaches in the armour. The
armour itself is stronger than the
other GRUNT types and can take
much more punishment. The
offensive and defensive capabilities
of this unit are far in advance of the

standard types, but the movement

speed is greatly reduced.
MEDIC
When the body fails and
damage is too great for
automated healing systems, the
USC turn to the tried and trusted
method of 'field' medicine. The Medic
is trained with small firearms and is
highly skilled at patching up injured
GRUNTS. As an offensive and
defensive unit the Medic is one of the
weaker units in the USC and it is
advised to keep them close to the
back or behind a Heavy Gunner. They
have a medium movement speed and
only limited access to offensive
equipment.
ENGINEER
Equipment gets damaged,
guns break down and
vehicles throw wheels. If an engine
overheats or a axle bends, it's the job
of the USC Engineer to make sure
the vehicle is back up and running in

19

record time. Armed with medium

weapons and packing a heavier form
of the GRUNTS standard armour,
plus a reinforced toolkit, the
Engineer
can
repair
broken
equipment, weapons, vehicles and
installations if given enough time.
Engineers can also work quickly with
various data terminals and are
expert hackers. The move at about
the same rate as other medium units
and are vital to many of the USC
covert operations.

SNIPER
Brute force is often useful,
but just for a limited time.
The USC have an elite division of their
GRUNT units that are women. The
Sniper Corps of the USC's GRUNTS
are feared and respected by those
who they serve with. Mostly insular
and highly trained in the use of the
'SUREKILL' Sniper rifle, these deadly
ladies can pick a target off from a
great distance. Armed with a
secondary light machine gun and
equipped with the lightest armour of
the USC forces. They have the
fastest movement of all the USC
units and are deadly infiltrators and
saboteurs.
USC BODYSUIT
There is rumoured to be a
highly devastating USC
secret weapons program that puts
a GRUNT inside a large walking tank.
This program is classified information only and the clearance for
this document has been limited to
current units, weapons, vehicles and
equipment.

20

3 THE BREED 4
This section is classified EYES ONLY and has been declassified under the
current circumstances to prepare you for the Coming Conflict under the
USC Operations Governing Code.

WEAPONS
PLASMA GUN

DISCHARGER GL2

A medium rate of fire weapon used

by Breed Soldiers, this is the staple
weapon of the enemy. It has a single
shot and should not be underestimated, the acceleration of the
plasma to the point of impact can
make the weapon easy to dodge if the
bright blue flash is spotted in time.

This is a rapid-fire multi-shot Breed

weapon that is a similar match to the
USC Heavy Machinegun. It fires highspeed plasma shards and can devastate a target in a few seconds, the
speed of the weapon and the spread
of the shards makes this weapon
hard to predict.

BOLT THROWER

INTRUDER Z111

An infantry support weapon, this is a

dangerous long range Breed weapon
that projects a plasma bolt similar to
the fixed Artillery, while the damage
ratio of this weapon is lower than the
mounted counterpart it is still a
formidable gun. It has a slow rate of
fire and considerable splash damage.

This weapon fires a slow moving

plasma rocket at a target and comes
equipped with a self-stabilising scope.
Secondary fire activates the scope
and primary launches the warhead to
the point of impact. The weapon
must be reloaded every shot and can
be dodged fairly easily due to the
time it takes the payload to arrive.

21

VIOLATOR VX6

The Breed employ a plasma-shard

based Sniper Rifle that has a high
armour penetration ratio and a
decent range. The weapon has a
powerful optical scope designed to
activate with secondary fire and is
accurate at long ranges. The plasma
bolt travels slower than the USC
weapon but the kill probability is just
the same.

EKTO BOLT

This is the Breed variant on the USC

Shotgun and it fires several plasma
shards outwards at speed. The
shards are given a slight variance
from the muzzle and each blast produces a dangerous swarm of these
projectiles.
PLASMA LANCE

A medium range weapon that the

Breed employ that could be
described as a variant of the USC's
Flame Thrower, this is basically a
charged plasma beam that is held in a
shaped magnetic field and formed
into a medium ranged beam. It can
cut through GRUNT armour in a
matter of seconds.

22

COMMON BREED
ENCOUNTERED
THE SOLDIER
We have named this Breed
archetype as such; the
Soldier seems to be the rank and file
combatant
encountered
when
combating the Breed. Soldiers are
usually coloured gunmetal grey and
their single eye glows a vibrant blue. It
is not known exactly how strong
their armour is or what the casing is
made from.
THE WARRIOR
The Warrior variant of the
Breed's forces is a stronger and tougher opponent than the
Soldier. The Warrior has better
armour and weapons, and can be
recognised by the bright Cyan casing
and orange glowing camera-lens eye.
Warriors are usually used as
frontline assault troops and are also
employed as guards to strategic
targets.

THE HUNTER
The Hunter variant of the
Breed's forces is even
stronger than the previous archetypes; this unit has better weapons
and armour. It is also faster and
deadlier than the Warrior and the
Soldier. It can be recognised by the
blood red casing and the fact that
the usual camera-eye is not
prevalent in the head design.

Hunters are equipped for stealth

operations and assassination missions, they are classified a level one
threat.
THE GENERAL
This is a large and deadly
Breed unit, denoted by the
black and gold casing. The unit's single camera-eye is a glowing red light
and the whole unit is fierce and
dangerous in battle. They are used to
direct the actions of the other
Breed units and are classified as a
level one threat. Breed Generals
carry vital information in their
encrypted memory cores.
SCUTTERS
These are small mobile
plasma defence droids,
when applied in large numbers they
can swiftly overwhelm even the most
trained USC units. They are tiny
robots that have dark blue and green
casings, a single blue eye that can fire
a short ranged blast of concentrated plasma. They may appear
comical in nature but do not be
fooled.
"They came running down the corridor,
there had to be hundreds of them.
Some of the guys just laughed and
laughed when they saw these things. It
was when the dying started that the
laughter turned to fearScutters they
called them, stupid name - deadly in
numbers."
~ USC Veteran Arnold 'TinCan' Jones.

3 USC VEHICLES 4
4 USC 'EAGLE' CLASS DROPSHIP

4 USC ASSAULT HUMVEE

The USC Dropships are the primary

assault, recon and support vessels in
Earth's fight against the Breed. The
'Eagle' class are highly manoeuvrable
VTOL capable vehicles, configured for
both atmospheric and space flight.
They can be pre-loaded with a variety
of payloads and are used to ferry
GRUNTS and other vehicles from the
Darwin to the planet. Equipped with a
nose-mounted chaingun, two sidemounted 'Uberguns' a top turret for
defence and a twin rocket launcher,
the 'Eagle' class can also serve as a
mobile weapons and assault platform
supporting ground based assaults
and aerial sorties.

The USC requires the ability to move

a small group of ground troops in at
speed, so they designed the 'AJ' class
of Humvee, while not a traditional
20th Century looking Hummer, the
design
boasts
an
increased
armoured shell and a powerful
modified V8 engine that can churn
the ground into dust. The vehicle can
seat up to four GRUNTs and comes
with a heavy 'Chaingun' mounted on
the back for offence and defence.

Two powerful 'Turbodyne Corporation'

engines can be rotated to provide vertical take off and landing capacity as well
as boost the ship to high speeds while
in the flight position. The medium
armour is capable of taking prolonged
bursts of fire and soaking medium
impact damage. The rear-loading bay of
the Dropship can be configured to hold
GRUNT assault squads or vehicles
such as the APC and USC Tank.

Four reinforced tires are mounted on

a high impact axle. The axle itself is
connected to a small control system
that monitors the vehicles performance, making adjustments to the
torque and pressure of the tires to
compensate for various terrain
types. The whole vehicle is constructed out of next generation polymers and metals, giving it an
unprecedented
shelf
life
and
durability. An economic synthesised
fuel powers it and the USC R&D
technical department has further
enhanced the engines performance
by using modular parts.

25

4 THE USC TANK

Certain situations can also see the

Tank outfitted with a guided rocket
launcher.
4 THE USC ARMOURED
PERSONNEL CARRIER

One of the steadfast members of

the USCs heavy assault arsenal, this
massive war machine is designed to
strike fear into the hearts of the
enemy and deliver a deadly punch
over medium to long ranges. It is
equipped with the 'Indigo' Plasma
cannon and the 'Ravager' medium
assault Chaingun for taking out light
to heavy infantry. The Tank's armour
is a composite material and capable
of sustaining heavy fire for extended
periods of time, the machine is not
unbreakable however and too much
damage results in the power core
being breached and a medium sized,
deadly explosion.
For extra firepower a smaller gun is
mounted on the front of the tank in
compliment to the one that is
mounted on the topside of the
turret. The tracks are lightly
armoured and have enough strength
to pulverise small rocks and other
debris. When the Tank moves, it
grinds forward with a low menacing
rumble, shaking nearby allies and providing valuable fire support. The
heavy vehicle's design came about
due to the need for a larger support
unit on the ground, to combat the
BREED's own technology.

26

A sufficiently large impact however

will render the vehicle inoperable and
possibly causes a massive explosion.
Drivers are advised to keep this
hardware intact as they are in limited
supply and resources are tight.
4 THE USC 'FALCON' AEROSPACE
SUPERIORITY FIGHTER

The R&D techs that created this

vehicle have another nickname for it,
they call it the 'Sardine Tin' and the
premise is quite simple. Pack in
enough GRUNTs into an enclosed
and armoured space and move them
at speed across hostile terrain. The
'Armadillo' is a rugged vehicle and can
be equipped with a number of
weapons, from Chainguns to Missile
Launchers. The modular design of
the vehicle allows the Techs to quickly change Loadout on the Darwin and
outfit it for a number of scenarios.
The armoured hull of the APC is
capable of withstanding prolonged
fire from a variety of weapons and
uses composite materials in its
structure. The metal composite is
also treated with a special coating
codenamed '3864' which is an 'anti
fragmenting' bonding material, this
stops one of the largest causes of
passenger death from hostile fire namely the fragmentation of the
vehicles outer and inner skin, due to
high impact projectiles.

number of weapon loadouts, the

most common being rockets and
guided missiles. Complimenting this is
a Chaingun and the addition of an
external hardpoint for mounting
bombs for Aerial sorties on fortified
installations.
4 THE USC 'CHEETAH'
ASSAULT BUGGY

While the Dropship is a perfect support vehicle, it's size and issues with
maneuverability make it a less than
ideal 'dog fighting' vehicle. So the USC
Techs produced the 'Falcon' fighter
to support the Dropship initially - the
first few tests saw a radical change
in design, bigger engines were added
and the hull was treated and
reinforced to allow the vehicle to
operate in harsher environments
and take more punishment. The twin
'Turbodyne'
engines
were
restructured and their power
outputs altered to compensate for
the vehicles need for speed and
agility.

In the war against the Breed it

became apparent that the USC
needed a vehicle that was capable of
recon sorties and light skirmish
attacks. Their R&D techs turned
their minds to devising a small singleseat 'one' man Buggy that could get
in and out of a mission zone with little
or no support, perfect for high speed
chases and ground assaults and furthermore could operate as a single
'cell' out on the field. The 'Cheetah' as
it became known is a light vehicle that
can take only a limited amount of
punishment before it is critically
damaged.

The 'Falcon' distinguished itself in the

Besalius conflict as one of the few
Space and Air vehicles to effectively
match their far more technologically
advanced Breed counterparts.
Capable of both Atmospheric and
Space operation the vehicle has a

High impact polymers and second

generation construction materials
were combined with a hollow, almost
bird-like, bone-structure to the
vehicle so that the shell remained
light and tough enough to provide a
decent level of protection for the

27

driver - to provide an extra level of

protection the hollow interior was
filled with an impact sensitive gel
compound. The 'Cheetah' Buggy has
a toughened front bubble-like cockpit
to allow a greater field of vision and
provide a clearer view of the driver's
surroundings. On board computers
provide feedback to the axle and the
steering to keep the vehicle stable on
most surfaces, while the compact
design allows for a quick recovery if
the unfortunate happens and the
vehicle is flipped over.
With both front and rear wheel drive
the Buggy is capable of a tight
turning circle and can cope with the
most formidable terrain, while keeping enough traction on ice and
water/mud to give it the speed of it's
namesake. But the 'Cheetah' isn't
just about high speed racing style
rally handling - it's about fast attack,
so it comes armed with a Chaingun
and a mortar hardpoint for when the
driver really has to clear the way.
To make sure that the vehicle
maintains a high degree of performance and a decent speed, any
excess weight and load has been
stripped from the Buggy (This
means that it can only seat one person, and not carry any passengers).
All essential electronics are stored in
the front compartment and the
engine is lightly armoured, and based
on a modified 'V8' - when the
'Cheetah' roars you can feel the
power and the thunder as the engine

28

pushes out serious amounts of

torque.
This one man Buggy is the serious
choice for those USC drivers who
require a fix and dose of ground
based speed.

"Oh man, when I strapped myself into

this baby in R&D - I tell you now, you
could hear her purr, and when I put
my foot on that acceleratorthat
purr became a roar, now I really want
one for my kids."

4 THE USC SCOUT - STEALTH
INFILTRATION VEHICLE

There are times when brute force

isn't the answer, when a hoard of
battle-hardened and psyched-up
USC GRUNTS won't do the job. Nor
will a wing of fighters or an APC packed into the bay of an 'Eagle' Dropship.
The USC needed a method of getting
a single soldier deep into enemy
territory, undetected, so they began
to experiment with a new kind of hull
material, one that had a low
tolerance to penetration by weapons
fire but could easily slip through a
Radar or Sensor net.

At the time the Darwin and the

Magellan were commissioned they
had their breakthrough with the SIV
Scout. The Scout is a single seater
twin-engine light atmospheric vehicle
that can move through hostile
territory - it has a low visibility signature and the Radar and Sensor
signatures are virtually non-existent.
It is the perfect vehicle for the USC
to infiltrate a single operative into
the Breed's territory. While it is not
an Aerospace vehicle it is considered
at least an Air vehicle. Its not made
for a dogfight since it is only lightly
armed with dual miniguns and can
never replace the much more agile
and durable Falcon Fighter even if it
was armed with a lethal arsenal of
weapons.
The SIV Scout is a slow vehicle but it
needs to be. Engine power and emissions are vastly reduced compared
to the other vehicles and it requires
a Dropship to bring it down to Earth.
Once deployed a significant safe distance from the target zone the SIV
Scout can then make its way to the
objective virtually unmolested. It can
also be programmed with a 'return'
course so the pilot doesnt need to
worry about leaving the SIV in an
awkward place - it is most often used
to get a USC Sniper into position or
infiltrate areas where a normal
Dropship assault would be too risky.
A lone operative can enter quietly
and undetected, shut down any SAM
or defences in the area and make

way for a larger standby assault

force.
4 THE USC DARWIN 'EVOLUTION'
CLASS BATTLESHIP

In 2603 the distress call from the

Colonies finally reached Earth and a
meeting of the UEG (United Earth
Government) was called. After many
long hours of debate it was decided
that two unique ships would be commissioned and built at Anderson
Spacedock - they would be the
Magellan and her sister ship the
Darwin. Both of them would be
identical and carry the name of
'Evolution' class into the stars, along
with the hopes, dreams and hearts of
the people on Earth and in Besalius.
The construction of both of these
vessels, thanks to advances in
manufacturing
techniques
and
materials, only took a matter of
around three months. Nearly 800
meters from stem to stern these
ships are the central operation cores
of the USC presence in Besalius
during the time of the 'Colony Wars'
and have proven themselves time and
time in battle. The USC Darwin was
the first to be built and is captained
by the now legendary Saul Richter, a

29

shrewd and cunning tactician who has

distinguished himself in the Besalius
conflict many times over.
Right from the outset it was decided
that the Evolution class of Battleship
should be capable of creating and
maintaining a self-replenishing 'army'
of sorts, so the R&D techs began to
work on adapting 'Cloning' technology
to perfect the ultimate soldier. Since
the cloning process had already been
successfully utilised it only remained
to tailor the specific Genomes to the
task at hand. This ensured that the
soldiers retained higher levels of
competence, respect and greater
degrees of endurance than normally
trained and educated combatants of
this type.
When the Darwin set off from Earth
in 2603 it already had a large
number of GRUNTS (Genetically
Revived UNiversal Tactical Sentient)
onboard, although they were still in
an infantile state the soldiers were
already being 'educated' by the
onboard computer systems that the
technicians had nicknamed.

NANNIES
(Neural Advanced Nominal Nanite
Injected Interface Expert
Systems)

Small
micro-machines
(The
NANNIES) were injected into the
bodies of the infant GRUNTS and stimulated their various pleasure and
pain centres along with providing the

30

right shots of the various drugs as

they grew into the USC soldiers over
a period of around 6-8 months
depending on the building blocks used
in the Genetic Construction.
At a certain age the NANNIES began
to stimulate and program the
GRUNTs military education giving
them an advanced knowledge of
vehicle manipulation, weapons and
tactics, taken from Sgt Gunny and
Captain Richter. Two of the USC's
finest in command. By the time that
the GRUNTS were ready to leave
the clone-vats deep in the Darwin,
they were already 'programmed'
with enough information to fight a
one-man war, each of them possessing the accumulated knowledge of
months of accelerated learning.
In addition to the ability to
manufacture troops, the Darwin also
contains vehicle and weapon construction bays and facilities. Utilising
the same advanced techniques and
materials that built both of these
giant Warships, it means that in a
matter of hours and not months,
vehicles and weapons can be
manufactured swiftly. Of course this
all consumes resources that must
be converted by the equipment
aboard the ship.
The 'Turbodyne' Corporation has a
large stake in the Darwin's operation
and
provided
the
technical
specifications and plans for the
engines that allow the various
Aerospace vehicles to operate

effectively, their Sister Corporation.

Galdyne is responsible for the
Galdyne 050 series of sublight drives
which allow the Warships to make
their yearlong journey to Besalius
and back. Galdyne's 050 engines are
at the core of the Darwin's ability to
move swiftly from one theatre of
operations to the next in a short
time, usually a matter of hours,
unless the distance is vast such as
the trip from Earth to the Colonies.
Powering the massive engines are a
bank of reactors that sit deep within
the core of the vessel, protected by
strengthened armours and casings.
They are almost impregnable - technicians have theorised that while the
ship could explode into a thousand
parts, the reactors might well just
sit there and stubbornly refuse to
join the rest of the vessel.
They also provide power to the
primary
and
secondary
subsystems,
life
support
and
weapons/defences aboard the
Evolution class - these include the
large defence turrets and the
'Miltek' cloaking system.
While not a true cloaking device it
renders the Darwin near invisible
from scanners and sensors while in
orbit around a planet, allowing the
large ship to gather data from its
own sensors and send out recon and
assault sorties to support and assist
other USC vessels and units.

The Darwin is an astounding vessel,

six decks deep and would take a
whole book to describe in full. It is
packed to the brim with cutting-edge
technology and weapons, provides a
stable and clandestine assault base
from which to lead the fight against
the Breed. This Evolution class ship is
the last of her kind, since the
Magellan failed to return to Earth
after the USC's hard-won victory in
the Colonies, it now stands as a
proud war-torn reminder of the indomitable spirit of the human race and
their desire to fight hard for what is
rightly theirs
It remains to be seen if the ship and
her crew can win this new battle
against the Breed but with such a
vessel and such a Captain it might
just be possible.
"I first saw the Darwin while I was at
Anderson with Saul and Gunny, I'd been
headhunted to join an elite Fighter
Squadron while the GRUNTS were
being born, can I say born? Well
created, whateverI was stunned by
the majesty of the vessel and I could
only think of one thingthere has to be
one heck of a coffee machine
somewhere aboard that thing."

3 BREED VEHICLES 4
4 BREED DROPSHIP

4 BREED MINIGUN
PLATFORM

A stationary weapons platform that

has a pair of plasma rocket launchers
for attack, they are a Primary Target
of the USC's strike operations when
attacking enemy bases, installations
and fortifications. Their weapon
Loadout can fetch down an Eagle
Dropship unless they are taken out.

You will often find this stationary

Minigun platform used to guard
possible
Landing
Zones
and
Ingress\Egress points in a mission.
The Breed Minigun is a devastating
rapid-fire weapon that can lay down a
punishing spread of concentrated
plasma in seconds. Due to the lethal
nature of this weapon the GRUNTS
have nicknamed the experience of
being in a crossfire set up by these
weapons as 'walking into a Grinder'.

4 BREED MEDIUM FIGHTER AKA

BOMBER

Not much is known about this vehicle

apart from that it's a worthy
counterpart to the USC's own Eagle
and has a compliment of Breed
troops onboard. The vessel however
is vulnerable to assault fire from a
heavy
calibre
weapon
while
attempting to drop its cargo. If you
can get to the soft underbelly it's
possible to render the threat inoperable.

This is a heavier armed, armoured

and slower moving vehicle than its
lighter counterpart. It has two layers
of armour and a matrix of plasma
based shielding that keeps the hull
together. The Breed Bomber packs
a devastating punch from its
payload: they are a 'Priority Target'
when you are stationed on Base
Defence.

4 BREED FIGHTER

4 BREED TANK

The Breed fighter seems to come in

two variants, the first is a light version and is highly maneuverable. It is
not known what the extended
armaments are on the ships but the
staples seem to be plasma guns and
guided plasma rockets. This type is
recognised by the odd fin that protrudes out of the top of the vessel.

4 BREED SAM (SURFACE TO AIR

MISSILE) PLATFORM

Usually armed with a long-range

heavy plasma cannon, the Breed
tank is a dangerous mobile weapons
platform. Because of the modular
design of most Breed vehicles it is
easy for them to switch out
weapons and change the Loadout of
their vehicles - there are rumoured
to be other Tank variants with double
plasma cannons and rockets.

4 NOTE 424: As with the USC

Weapons, Vehicles and Archetypes:
This is not a full list, GRUNTS are
encouraged to download new mission
data into the correct terminal
aboard the USC Darwin every mission debrief. A prize will be given to
the GRUNT who manages to spot all
of the Breed Units and designations
prior to their immediate destruction.

HINTS AND TIPS

---------------------------------------

INFANTRY TIPS

Don't forget the importance of

height; a well-placed sniper can be
the key to a tactical turnaround.

Use the terrain. I can't stress this

enough, stay low and keep to cover
you'll have a better chance of
avoiding the loss of your armour and
your body fluids.
--------------------------------------Make sure you know where the hell
you are; keep an eye on your HUD
for Waypoints as well as the
feedback from your surroundings.
--------------------------------------Look for your men and make sure
you have a clean line of fire. I don't
want to have to pick slugs out of my
ass again, or someone's going down.
--------------------------------------Remember grenades and other
indirect fire weapons have splash
damage. The next GRUNT who so
much as scratches the paintwork on
my armour will be scrubbing the
outer hull of the Darwin.

--------------------------------------Always keep your map handy, not

only does it show the location of
important objectives it also shows
enemy and friendly forces.
--------------------------------------Try to remember you're not a fish,
GRUNT armour does not come with
breathing apparatus and it's damn
heavy. You fall into the ocean; you're
going to sink like a rock. And I don't
care if you can hold your breath for
ten minutes, it is not gonna help.
--------------------------------------Remember your SQUAD
COMMANDS GRUNTS! The
command: WAIT HERE is probably
not only going to save your Team
from an embarrassing incident with
a SNIPER but it's going to save you
from having to explain why you took
a Squad of my best men into a death
trap.

--------------------------------------Keep an eye on your GRUNTs health.

Use Medical packs if you run too low.

---------------------------------------

GROUND VEHICLE TIPS

These things are not Dropships or
Fighters, you might think they can fly
but I can tell you, they don't. While
I'm not against reckless stunt
driving, try and remember the
vehicles you drive are in limited supply - you wreck 'The Daddy's Car',
you will be a hood ornament on an
APC.

AEROSPACE
VEHICLE TIPS
The Dropship is heavier than the
fighter and it takes a good deal of
time to turn compared to the
Maverick. Always try and keep the
Dropship out of direct confrontations with enemy fighters,
unless you have a good set of gunners.

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

Watch your speed, make sure you

don't overshoot. I don't want to have
to dig your ass out of the water.
These things are not submarines!

Remember, when you're piloting a

Dropship or a Fighter, that the
ground is not your friend. It might
look warm and soft down there, but
if you don't keep an eye on your
altitude, you're going to be meeting
it with a view to a terminal landing.

--------------------------------------Keep an eye on the terrain around

you. Driving a Tank is not like driving
a Buggy. They're slower and they
take a lot longer to stop. On the
upside however they tend to pulverise trees in their wake.

---------------------------------------

--------------------------------------Keep an eye on your vehicles

armour gauge and make sure you
get out before it explodes. I'd rather
have men coming back than vehicles,
but if you can get yourself and your
vehicle back home...

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

Remember that you don't have to

rush things, try and use tactics and
you'll stay alive a lot longer.

Don't be afraid of a little

experimentation. Each vehicle performs differently and the Techs set
them up prior to Mission Go.

---------------------------------------

34

35

Always try and get behind your

enemy and lock on with guided
missiles, they make the best bang
for your bucks and plus, they're
guided what more can I say? Oh
yeah, don't forget to watch for
enemy missiles and try and evade
them.
--------------------------------------I can't stress the importance of
'Vertical Thrust' enough; the
Aerospace vehicles are all capable of
both jet and VTOL modes of flight.
Monitor your altitude and reduce
your throttle until you can touch
down safely. One more thing, it's
best if you bring your gear down
first.
--------------------------------------Use your HUD, your Map and Radar,
anything to keep an eye on your
situation. It's like watching three dinners cooking, if one of them boils
over you're going to be in hot water.
--------------------------------------In a dogfight, you should know by
now your 'Six' is a vulnerable location,
so if you can, always keep an eye on
your 'Six' for Breed fighters. They
like to gang up and introduce your
ass to hot plasma, that might be ok
for some of you, but for me it's
something I don't want to have to
repair on these birds.
