Nu Earth is a hellish, nightmare planet ravaged by war. The planet’s atmosphere is deadly to inhale, devoid of life, and poisoned by repeated chemical attacks.
But the planet is close to a vital wormhole in space, a fact that has dragged its two rival factions — the Norts and the Southers — into a never-ending war. Now Nu Earth is a toxic, hell-blasted rock where millions of soldiers
in bio-suits wage bloody battles and die by the millions. Nu Earth is too important to lose. Not an inch of ground can be lost!
Here is where the legend of ROGUE TROOPER was born. Created by Souther forces, ROGUE TROOPER is the sole surviving example of the Genetic Infantrymen: a regiment of soldiers grown in vats and bio-engineered to be the perfect killing machines.
Complete with protective blue skin and the ability to breathe the venomous atmosphere, the Genetic
Infantrymen (GI) became renowned figures on both sides of the conflict.
Moreover, the mind and soul of the GI could be downloaded onto a silicone chip in case of a mortal wound on the battlefield. Once downloaded, the bio-chip could then be slotted into special equipment and preserved until the soldier could grace a newly grown body.
Betrayed by a general in their own high command, almost the entire regiment of GIs were wiped out in the Quartz Zone Massacre. The sole survivor managed to save just three bio-chips from his former comrades and slot them into his gun, helmet and back pack.
Now he is a loner with just the disembodied personalities
of his comrades for company...
...roaming the chemical wasteland in search of revenge...
...the ROGUE TROOPER!
