A TIME OF WAR...
by GUY HALEY
The galaxy is burning. The malevolent
human Corporation is expanding its
sphere of influence, annexing more
and more star systems to its territories,
bringing every alien civilization it can
under its control. Or, if this proves
impossible, exterminating them.
The Corporation’s strategy is to make
contact with alien civilizations and
dazzle them with humanity’s superior
technology [Note: Only 27 species have
so far been encountered that possess
higher understanding of the sciences
than the Corporation]. Appearing as
benefactors, Corporation diplomats will
offer massive technological help to these
planets: new forms of power, transit,
communication and all the benefits a
thousand year old technological society
can bring.
Very few peoples turn this down.
Offered membership “as equal partners”
in the Great Galactic Co-prosperity
Sphere, these new worlds will at first be
optimistic and proud of their status, but
over time they discover the truth. Their
societies undergo massive, traumatic
change, overthrowing whatever customs
and governance they once possessed in
return for the bland, pan-galactic culture
of the Corporation.
Worse, what is initially offered free in
the spirit of common sentient interest
does not remain so for long. Soon the
incorporated culture will be dependent
on Corporation goods and services, and
bled dry to pay for them.
Turned into little better than puppet
states, these slave-societies are drugged
by the cheap, get-rich-quick attitudes
of Corporation culture, and will gladly
devote all of their planets’ resources

CORPORATION
MAJOR GENERAL
CORPORATION
AT WAR
When the diplomats fail, the military arm
of the Corporation is sent in to eradicate
all hostile opposition. A Corporation
Expeditionary Force is a sight that chills
the blood of all who stand before it.
Corporation Commanders launch their
battle-plans, first sending out Ranger
Teams to seize important battlefield
objectives or take out enemy leaders
with well placed precision shooting.
The armies of the Corporation are led
into battle by seasoned commanders
hardened from a thousand battles
across hundreds of star systems.
When Corporation Central decides on a
new commercial campaign of aggressive
expansion, it is upon their Commanders
shoulders that the responsibility lies; and
they take their responsibilities seriously.
Barking orders and Corporation dogma
that none dare ignore, the Commander
is an imposing, yet inspirational sight on
the battlefield.
The enemies cover is quickly destroyed
while enemy formations are swept aside
by the Heavy Weapons Teams. Then the
Marines go in.
Taking out what opposition remains and
backed up by Veterans armed with fire
suppression units, any uprising is soon
stamped out and brought under control
of the Co-Prosperity Sphere Corporation
once more.
CORPORATION
MARINES
“Where the diplomats fail, the Marine
succeeds.”

Taken from the citizens of a thousand

worlds, trained to follow orders without
question and kill without thought, the
Corporation Marine is the hammer that
beats the Co-Prosperity Sphere message
home. Armed with the latest tactical
laser weaponry and wearing resilient
battlefield armour, an invasion by these
deadly warriors means another world
will soon fall under Corporation control.

CORPORATION
VETERANS
Having survived several campaigns, a Marine is rewarded by being trained in the
use of even more powerful weapons.

Numbed to the horrors of battle, these Veterans are taught greater battlefield tactics
using weapons that can punch through a tank. Other specialist Veterans learn to
use fire- suppression units while others are equipped with powerful close combat
technology so devastating they can kill even the biggest foe.
CORPORATION
RANGERS
Utilising their years of experience, the
Corporation Rangers strike ahead of the
main force, their stealth-suits keeping
them hidden from the enemy until they
are ready to attack.

Some missions require them to lay

down rivers of firepower upon the
enemy, suppressing them until the main
force arrives to mop up the remains.
Other missions see these elite troops
taking out enemy commanders, seizing
objectives and capturing enemy troops
for information retrieval.

HEAVY WEAPONS
As the main forces of the Corporation
steadily advance, these disciplined
teams provide devastating cover
support.

Rapid fire lasers strafe the enemy

positions, ripping apart troops in a
blistering hail of laser fire while the
more powerful cannons blast defensive
structures into dust.
AGGRESSIVE
NEGOTIATIONS
by Jonathan Peace
The firefight was intense. Criss-crossing
beams of energy sang through the air,
superheating it until it seemed they were
fighting on the deserts of Halkari Prime
rather than on the dark red mud of
Hadax. Another stanchion of the bridge
exploded but still the damned thing
wouldn’t fall.
Two hundred Marauders ran towards the
bridge, their weapons growling in their
giant paws while frenzied drool ran from
their tusks. They were eager for battle
and ready to die.
Corporal Zimmer of the 23rd Section
would gladly grant their wish, but first
he had a job to do. He fastened another
magnetic charge to the stanchion while
around him his fire team opened up on
the charging brutes.
“Last one!” Zimmer shouted. Whether
or not they heard him, he didn’t care. He
just needed to fasten this charge in place
and then...
The shot took him in the side, blasting
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 fire 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 desperation,
hoping to find something to grab hold of
and stop his slide into oblivion, but all his
fingers 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 continue 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,
we’re going to have a hard time burning
them out,” an 3rd Class Technician said.
“Then we better do something about
that, hadn’t we?” Reid opened the
commline. “Little Blue, have you been
listening?”
“Sir.”
“Operation Hammerfall is go!”
