limited population, most planets have only one representative
at the Assembly. However, some are particularly prosperous
nonetheless.

is in fact a huge war academy in charge of training women and

became the unofficial base of CentCom. 15
Zeus is officially a democratic world, but power is really in
the hands of the generals leading CentCom. The local govern-

is composed of the military.

possible.
His first mission, and his first test, was to repress the
great strikes of AT-31. There he fought against undercover
agents from the Red Blok of course, but he was also forced
to fight against poor workers who sorely reminded him of his
family; and to whom he could relate. Borz idealism had taken
a few dents, but in exchange, he walked out of it a hardened
man. During these events, he faced the tough reality of war
and became a genuine professional soldier.
Borz life dramatically changed in AT-39, during the war of
skirmishes. Feisty and ready to go toe to toe with the Red
Blok, Borz found himself bouncing from one unit to the next
to be at the frontline all the time. It was then that Borz learned
on the job how to use every single piece of equipment avai-
lable in the White Stars arsenal, from the combat knife to the
orbital artillery gun. He also learned how to use his voice by
shouting orders to his men and forcing the enemy to surrender
using only the power of abuse. By the end of the war Borz, a
hardened veteran, had become a Fire Toad pilot. Unable to
endure the dullness of civilian life and disgusted by the civi-
lians indifference, when Borz retired from active service, he
managed to get himself a posting as a drill sergeant. There
he taught recruits how to survive in battle, hoping they
would never have to use the skills he taught them.
Sergeant Borz never got the time to grow soft. In

Stars encampment.
Only company G managed to reach the armory and
prepare for battle. Within a few minutes, while the armored
fighting vehicles were blocked by a newly formed river of
molten lava, Gotcha company had launched a counter
offensive and secured the heights, from where they forced
the enemy to a halt.
By mid-day, they had run out of ammo but the star
troopers refused to surrender. Their enemies were forced
to call-in orbital artillery strikes to glaze the White Stars po-
sition. Within a few hours, not a living soul was left on the
plain. The star troopers heroic sacrifice had prevented the
enemy armored fighting vehicles from reaching the battle-
field in time.

TACTICS

The wing troopers are extremely mobile units, swift and

deadly. They have a key role to play at the tip of the offensive
38 or beyond. Their favorite tactic is to strike behind enemy lines,
catching the enemy in a pincer movement before immediately

falling back to a defensive position.

The laser gun and sniper gun allows them to strike down any
enemy, no matter if the target is heavy infantry or a light ar-
mored fighting vehicle, from the most remote strategic points.
Against class 2 or 3 striders, the wing troopers are still far from
useless. When given a missile launcher, they are a threat to
any armored fighting vehicle!

OPERATION SYCAMORE
BT-10, when the Hades uprising was at its peak, the 39
U.N. forces deployed during the counter offensive were
surrounded and fighting one against two in appalling
conditions. Something had to be done to relieve the
pressure the insurgents were putting on the main army
as it carried out the emergency evacuation of troops.
Operation Sycamore was initiated.
While the ground was swarming with enemies, eleven
companies of wing troopers were dropped from geosta-
tionary orbit.
They were fewer than three hundred, but their attack
caught the insurgents off guard, disrupting them long enough
for all the White Stars to re-embark aboard the dropships.
The two hundred wing troopers that survived the bat-
tle were evacuated with the last dropships, along with
the bodies of their brothers who had fallen to save an
entire army.

 SHOCK TROOPERS
Dont ask me why Id rather fight with a powerpike than a
laser rifle. You really dont want me to show you.
Drill Sergeant A. Borz

Some nutters enjoy close quarter combat, vicious fights in

narrow corridors, close combat round a trench corner, wres-
tling in the darkness of small tunnels. The shock trooper corps
is there to welcome these risk takers and adrenaline junkies.
Special training and a particular mindset is required to will-
ingly go toe to toe in the dark against non-humans.
Shock troopers are specifically trained for indoor close com-
bat. They know all about disemboweling or carving through
anything within arms length, no matter if the target is Avan,
morphos or mechanical.
Shock troopers

TACTICS

The shock troopers mission is simple: they are there

to engage the enemy in close combat. Shock troo-
pers are deployed when close quarter combat is
involved or when the opponent deploys power-
ful close combat units. Armed with their power-
pikes, the shock troopers stand like a wall
40 of flesh and steel to protect their brothers
in arms!
The White Stars

They are efficient in short range de-

fense with their SMGs, which allow
them to quickly clear out corridors.
On an open battlefield, G-packs
allow them to close rapidly with
the enemy, minimizing their
losses during the advance.

BABY TROOPERS
41
By AT-1, bayonets had long been removed from the
U.N. arsenal and soldiers were not trained in close com-
bat anymore!
However, the Therians storm golems forced Cent-
Com to create, in AT-2, a corps specializing in close
quarter combat derived from the steel troopers: the
shock troopers.
The most undisciplined and rowdy White Stars were
given the opportunity to utilize their qualities and join the
shock troopers. To equip them, the laboratories of the [Link]
came up with some innovative close combat weapons.
The shock troopers were nicknamed the baby troop-
ers because of their reputation for unruly behavior and
the relatively recent creation of their corps... However
even steel troopers avoid using this nickname in front
of them: upsetting a shock trooper is not a smart thing
to do.

of enemy, ranging from simple soldiers to the average combat
strider. This is what steel-TacArms are used for: eliminating
enemy resistance anywhere it needs to be crushed with over-
whelming power.
Steel TacArms

TACTICS

Steel TacArms are deployed to break enemy

lines: against them, the first assault is often
the last. However, they are also efficient
when kept in reserve: they can then jump
into action whenever the time is right to
42 quickly eliminate any pockets of enemy
resistance.
The White Stars

The steel TacArms represent a con-

centration of power that cannot be
equaled by any other infantry unit: a laser gun is
already a terrifying weapon, but each TacArm
comes with two! In groups of three these bat-
tlesuits become unstoppable.
The offensive power the TacArms re-
present is such that they will constitute a
prime target for the enemy. A good Com-
mander will always make sure to keep
them behind cover or to use their move-
ment to get them out of reach of en-
emy fire.

However, the Fire Toad imposed itself within a few 47

Thanks to its squat aspect, the Fire Toad can hide
behind relatively low obstacles; becoming a less obvi-

its streamlined design, it can reach its maximum speed

PLAYING A GAME

A game lasts a certain number of game rounds. This num-

ber can be defined by the mission or by the players them-
selves. A game round is divided into three phases. Each phase
is detailed in separate chapters hereafter.

1 Tactical phase (see AT-43 The Rulebook pp. 54)

The players determine in which order they will play their units
and decide which player will play first.
2 Activation phase (see AT-43 The Rulebook pp. 56)
The players activate their units in turn. The fighters move
on the battlefield, shoot at their enemies and engage them in
close combat.
3 Control phase (see AT-43 The Rulebook pp. 72)
The players check the objectives that are being fulfilled.
Holding strategic points allows the player to call in reinforce- The indicated part loses a number of SP equal to the Da-
