Hey everyone as title says would you play a Starship Troopers FPS? There was one released on PC way back in 2005 and was scheduled to be released on 360 but was ultimately dropped.
Doing this since, everything for SST keeps disappearing from the net for one reason or another, and also to give people a better understanding of canon and the technology level of the UCF. It also to aid people in the vs section since it has been popping up there recently. So I'll be starting with the SST movie universe before moving onto the books since they have more material to work with for the moment. Input is welcome and would be helpful. Also will be editing this post to update as this goes on. List of things here: SST Book Universe Starship Troopers RPG TM and (c) 2005 TriStar Pictures Inc - Please note that this uses the book, the first two movies, and the 3d TV show as canon.
UCF weapon and equoment: Part and. SST Movie Universe Bugs Data: Direct combat Non-direct combat Ranged combat Air Bug Support Command/Higher Bugs UCF database(however note that some of this information is from the now gone website and was posted here by members in the past): Federation Navy (rough guess of its size) Federation MI/Army MI infantry weapons and equipment: MI weapons during the beginning of the First Bug War MI weapons a few years later MI weapons during SST Invasion. MI Mechs MI Power Armor Invasion era power armor (as far as I know the power armor seen in the movie doesn't have a name) Background Material In-universe sources Invasion Logs (the Ipad/Iphone game):,. Out-of-invasion sources Rough timeline: So assuming that what FedNet says is true and that the bugs arrived three years ago.that would place ToM year at 2317 which means SST happens in 2297. And given the pre-SST comic.the UCF was created in 2200? When the world nuked itself.
So interesting. Edit: Yes will fix things soon.depending on life.: Take place in 2267, according to the comic, and according to which humanity has successful colonized Mars however unlike ToM the surface isn't liveable yet so the terraforming is still underway. In addition, according to the wording of the scientist in her briefing, a breakthrough they made the previous year means that Klendathli is within reach of their Cherenkov Drive. In the end, the decision is made to send a first contact team and see if the Bugs are friendly which ends in failure as the bugs ensure all attempts fail. It should be noted that it's the UCF military that is aware of the failed bug pod landing on Mars, meanwhile, the world government is barely holding together. Something else to note is that this is the first time that humanity encounters alien life and at this point, psychic abilities are not standard or used as part of the first contact team SOP.
There are other minor details in the comic, also one final thing is that according to Insect Touch the Mobile Infantry is new along with the first gen M-85 nuclear missile launcher.: Brute Creation covers the attack on the Mormon colony of Dantana and how Professor Rasczak lost his arm. According to Brute Creation the Warrior Bug jews secrets an anticoagulant designed to ensure anyone injured bleeds to death.
By this point in time, the Arachnid Quarantine Zone (AQZ) has been set up and the requirement that all students take moral and philosophy class (don't have to pass it). Interestingly it also shows that the bugs can lay eggs underground and have them dormant for long periods of time. It also makes it clear that the UCF was never aware of the existences of the God Bug, the Brain Bugs, and Queen Bugs until they found out about them in the later movies. It also adds fire to the argument that the UCF was the one that started the First Bug War while also making it clear that the Bugs are also responsible for allowing humanity to get the wrong impression of them.
Timeline wise, it should be a few years before the first Starship Troopers movie. Starship Troopers (Movie/): Based on ToM, the date is 2297. When the First Bug War begins. The comic adaption of the Starship Troopers is done from Carl point of view, unlike the movie which is from Rico. Things to note this is the first mention of psychic abilities is made here by the UCF, Carman gets her training at Tereshkova Fleet Academy on the moon, as far as Carl knows the UCF wasn't involved in starting the war, UCF Fleet Battle Station Ticonderoga, and it took only a few days for Rico to recover from his leg wound in Big K.: not sure if this is still canon or not since it does involve the development of a new mech for the MI and continues on from the first movie showing that it took the UCF three years to gain control of Klendathu.
On the other hand it does reveal information about the bugs and the UCF.:This is a FPS set five years after the movie, with the Arachnid hitting the UCF world of Herperous located close to Earth, a major Fleet planet. The campaign covers Fleet and the MI fight to take the planet back from the bugs and ends with a Brian Bug in UCF control (other details from the game will be added as needed in other sections). According to the game the UCF military intelligence arm is called 'Psi Ops' and the MI special forces are called 'Marauders.' Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation: will update soon. Starship Troopers 3: Marauders: The year is 2306, 11 years after Starship Troopers 1, and it's currently the Second Bug War. The movie sees the UCF successfully killing the God Bug who is responsible for directing all of the Brains/Queen Bugs across the galaxy, deployment of the Marauder Mech, the Q/Nova bomb, and that without the God Bug the bugs effectively become min empires/nations across the galaxy. Starship Troopers 4: Mobile Infantry - this is a free Ipad/Iphone game set before Invasion and tells the story of how the situation ends up like it is at the start of the movie.

It also has other background fluff. Starship Troopers 4: Invasion - set several years after Marauder (so close to 20 years after the first movie). The movie events happen over a 48 hour period and reveals the existences of wormholes which allow objects/ships to use them in addition to there FTL drive.
The movie also sees the MI now equipped with power armor and no longer fielding railguns and spoilers: the bugs managed to get one warrior bug safety out of the destruction of the John.A.Warden. A warrior bug is asexual as shown in Insect touch. Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars: update coming soon.end of timeline. According IMFDB the Morita Mk I Rifle props were built around AC-556(a full automatic version of the Ruger Mini-14) in a Muzzeliteâ„¢ MZ14 Bullpup Stock.
Then put in shell that makes it the size of a M60 with a underslung 12 Gauge shotgun (Ithaca Model 37). The sniper version is idental but has a sniper scope attached. There carbine version dosent have the underslung shotgun giving it the side of a modern assault rifle. From the movies that seem to act like modern assault rifle shooting 5.56x45mm round, but with very high cap magzines. My quess that might have 60-100 round per mag. Marauder Mk.1 Mech: Picture (M11 Marauder Toy Box Mech infro (in case something happens to the linked image): Type: Armored Bipedal Vehicle Nickname: Babar Used by: MI Weight: 10.3 tonnes (11.3 short tones) Height: 3.65m Width: Across shoulders: 2.33m Crew: 1 Armor: Fully Fense Boron Carbide Plate Primary armament: Replaceable arm mounts for: 15.6mm 5 barrel 'Morita Cross' Heavy Machine Gun.
15.5mm M64B Vulcan III Rotary Cannon 155m M779 Ultralight-Weight Auto Howitzer 41mm Mk.32 mod.5 Grendade Machine Gun M2A5-2 Flamethrower Secondary armaments: 2.40.4mm 'Trip Hammer' smooth bore cannon Power Source: RRFX-239 Fission Driver Operational Range Planetside: 1,026.76 km (638 miles) Speed: Walking 12.87km/h (8mph), Running 70.04km/h (43.5 mph) Edit: note that it can be dropped from orbit by Fed Navy. Edit 2: as noted on the about there jaw strength and weight been in excess of 4,000 pounds per square foot and them weighting 1,200Ibs. It least gives us some numbers for this. Marauder Mk.2 Mech: The Mk.2 is designed as a mech to be worn over the regular power suits which the MI are wearing by Invasion (can be seen in the fourth movie).
The suits has the ability to walk but for long distance travel is equipped with thruster jets to increase speed (note that it is unknown how fast it can travel). The HUD has the ability to monitors inside that display the surroundings of the mech, allowing the trooper inside to see, and can display relevant information. It should be noted that during the time period of the movie, the Mk.2 is considered pricey and limited to only Rico's unit, the Roughnecks.

Though this shouldn't be a surprise since Rico is the Commander of the Marauder Project. Primary weapons: Two Missiles Pods - 23 missiles each. Two Gatling Guns - other details unknown.
Melee Chainsaw Claw Others Gravity Pylon Heel Anchor. Warrior Bug, from the FPS. Edit: in addition to the below, the SST comic Brute Creations mentions that warriors jaws 'secrete an anti-coagulant that burns like hell and keeps your blood from clotting, helping to you to bleed to death.' In addition to this, is this from the line though there is only one canon problem and that is the speed differences between it and below. Namely the differences is that the figures given below only make the warrior bug slightly slower. That said: Jaws strength: exert in excess of 4,000 pounds per square foot. Weight: 1,200Ibs Ground Speed: 40mph (17.8816 m / s) Acceleration: 0 to 40mph in 7.2 seconds.
(if I read this wrong let me know) IQ: 30. Note that the warrior bug, IQ level of 30 is mentioned in the game. Also note that according to the Invasion iPad game, a fully grown Warrior bug looks like this.
