2/8
The galaxy is burning. The malevolent
human Corporaon is expanding its
sphere of inuence, annexing moreand more star systems to its territories,
bringing every alien civilizaon it can
under its control. Or, if this proves
impossible, exterminang them.
The Corporaons strategy is to make
contact with alien civilizaons and
dazzle them with humanitys superior
technology [Note: Only 27 species have
so far been encountered that possess
higher understanding of the sciences
than the Corporaon]. Appearing as
benefactors, Corporaon diplomats will
oer massive technological help to these
planets: new forms of power, transit,
communicaon and all the benets a
thousand year old technological societycan bring.
Very few peoples turn this down.
Oered membership as equal partners
in the Great Galacc Co-prosperity
Sphere, these new worlds will at rst beopmisc and proud of their status, but
over me they discover the truth. Their
sociees undergo massive, traumac
change, overthrowing whatever customs
and governance they once possessed in
return for the bland, pan-galacc culture
of the Corporaon.
Worse, what is inially oered free in
the spirit of common senent interest
does not remain so for long. Soon the
incorporated culture will be dependent
on Corporaon goods and services, and
bled dry to pay for them.
Turned into lile beer than puppet
states, these slave-sociees are druggedby the cheap, get-rich-quick atudes
of Corporaon culture, and will gladly
devote all of their planets resources

to enriching the Corporaon and the
few local bureaucrats that run the
business for it, while the majority of
the populaon plummet into a state of
poverty and servitude.
This form of cultural imperialism
takes me, and it does not always
work. Somemes the most primive
culture can see through the baubles
the Corporaon oers to the truth.
Other mes, a civilisaon may be too
savage, too advanced or just too damn
alien to risk bringing in to mans great
galacc family. In these cases, theCorporaon will deploy its considerable
military might. Full-scale invasion and
subjugaon has been the fate of many,
even complete annihilaon if a race
proves too troublesome.
Well trained and equipped with the
best in military technology, Corporaon
Troopers are worth scores of the
warriors of less advanced cultures. The
Troopers armour is oen invulnerable
to the naves weapons, leaving them
free to mercilessly mow down scores
of the enemies with pulses from their
laser weaponry. Indeed, a great many
Corporaon recruitment videos glory
in human troops slaughtering spear-waving savages for the beerment of
the cosmos. If they encounter heavier
resistance, the Troopers can bring the
awesome repower of their tanks
and powered exoskeletons to bear. In
dire circumstances an expedionary
commander may peon Corporaon
Central to unleash their most specialised
force who will quickly dispatch even themost stubborn of foes.
A system that has been cleared of
hosle indigenous aliens is ripe for re-
colonizaon by the humans that form
the largest part of the Corporaons
populaon. More oen than not they
too are oppressed as they strip the placeof its natural resources.
From its ancient beginnings on the Solar
System, the Corporaon has spread like
a malignant cancer across the galaxy,
covering enre sectors in its tyrannical
rule and suocang any aempt to live
free of its clutches. Their expansion
connues, but the galaxy is a big place.The Corporaon is not the monolithic
enty many think it to be, and suers
tensions between the great Houses
and Companies that comprise it. And
all those pampered, rich men who
debate and bicker in the sterile halls of
Corporaon Central share one, deep-
seated fear: that sooner or later the
Corporaon will meet its match in the
unexplored expanses of deep space

The armies of the Corporaon are led
into bale by seasoned commanders
hardened from a thousand bales
across hundreds of star systems.
When Corporaon Central decides on a
new commercial campaign of aggressive
expansion, it is upon their Commanders
shoulders that the responsibility lies; andthey take their responsibilies seriously.
Barking orders and Corporaon dogma
that none dare ignore, the Commander
is an imposing, yet inspiraonal sight on
the baleeld.
CORPORATION
MAJOR GENERAL
When the diplomats fail, the military arm
of the Corporaon is sent in to eradicate
all hosle opposion. A Corporaon
Expedionary Force is a sight that chills
the blood of all who stand before it.
Corporaon Commanders launch their
bale-plans, rst sending out RangerTeams to seize important baleeld
objecves or take out enemy leaders
with well placed precision shoong.
The enemies cover is quickly destroyed
while enemy formaons are swept aside
by the Heavy Weapons Teams. Then the
Marines go in.
Taking out what opposion remains and
backed up by Veterans armed with re
suppression units, any uprising is soonstamped out and brought under control
of the Co-Prosperity Sphere Corporaon
once more.

Where the diplomats fail, the Marinesucceeds.
Taken from the cizens of a thousand
worlds, trained to follow orders without
queson and kill without thought, the
Corporaon Marine is the hammer that
beats the Co-Prosperity Sphere message
home. Armed with the latest taccal
laser weaponry and wearing resilientbaleeld armour, an invasion by these
deadly warriors means another world
will soon fall under Corporaon control.
CORPORATION
MARINES
Having survived several campaigns, a Marine is rewarded by being trained in the
use of even more powerful weapons.
Numbed to the horrors of bale, these Veterans are taught greater baleeld taccsusing weapons that can punch through a tank. Other specialist Veterans learn to
use re- suppression units while others are equipped with powerful close combat
technology so devastang they can kill even the biggest foe.

Ulising their years of experience, theCorporaon Rangers strike ahead of the
main force, their stealth-suits keeping
them hidden from the enemy unl they
are ready to aack.
Some missions require them to lay
down rivers of repower upon the
enemy, suppressing them unl the main
force arrives to mop up the remains.Other missions see these elite troops
taking out enemy commanders, seizing
objecves and capturing enemy troops
for informaon retrieval.
CORPORATION
RANGERS
As the main forces of the Corporaon
steadily advance, these disciplined
teams provide devastang cover
support.
Rapid re lasers strafe the enemy
posions, ripping apart troops in ablistering hail of laser re while the
more powerful cannons blast defensive
structures into dust.
HEAVY WEAPONS

The reght was intense. Criss-crossing
beams of energy sang through the air,
superheang it unl it seemed they were
ghng on the deserts of Halkari Prime
rather than on the dark red mud of
Hadax. Another stanchion of the bridge
exploded but sll the damned thing
wouldnt fall.
Two hundred Marauders ran towards thebridge, their weapons growling in their
giant paws while frenzied drool ran from
their tusks. They were eager for bale
and ready to die.
Corporal Zimmer of the 23rd Secon
would gladly grant their wish, but rst
he had a job to do. He fastened another
magnec charge to the stanchion while
around him his re team opened up onthe charging brutes.
Last one! Zimmer shouted. Whether
or not they heard him, he didnt care. He
just needed to fasten this charge in place
and then...
The shot took him in the side, blasng
through the single place he wore no
armour. He grunted and fell, landing
in the mud before rolling down the
embankment. His feet fell into the river
and immediately began to smoke as the
acid-stream ate away at his boots. He
screamed but there was no one to help
him. On the bridge, the Maruaders cut
down the last of the re team and set
about butchering them for war trophies.
Zimmer began to slide further into the
stream, his cries now a bubbling groan
as his legs now began to dissolve as he
slipped further and further down the
bank. He reached out in desperaon,
hoping to nd something to grab hold of
and stop his slide into oblivion, but all his
ngers found was the arming device.
On the bridge a Marauder climbed onto
the stanchion and waved for those
behind to come across. Zimmer could
see dark shapes, thousands of them,
moving towards the bridge. The acid-stream was up to his waist now, the
surface stained a dark crimson with his
blood. It frothed as it slowly ate away his
body, but just as he slipped beneath its
surface, Zimmer closed his hand on the
trigger.
The bridge and several hundred
Marauders, exploded in a giant blast of
light and sound...x
The Marauders are running, the
TEO said. A cheer ran round the room.
Commander Reid let it connue for a
moment and then held his hand up.
Silence fell like a knife.
Of course they are. Nothing but animals
and what does an animal do when its
cornered... puts its tail between its legs
and runs for home.
If they make it back to their territories,
were going to have a hard me burning
them out, an 3rd Class Technician said.
Then we beer do something about
that, hadnt we? Reid opened the
commline. Lile Blue, have you been
listening?
Sir.
