Summary/Prologue: It is forty years after the Human-Skarrj war, and a large grouping of rebels wishing to restart the war for their own benefit have gathered together, using the abandoned asteroid LBX-7683 as a base of operations. Liandri corporation had recently come up with a clever inexpensive way to manufacture body armor for soldiers in the field. Using robot schematics from the Cobalt, Rapier, and Mandible series, the hollowed it out into a mechanical suit. After it was successfully transmuted to fit their needs, Liandri volunteers were made cybernetic, their legs, arms, and torso save the heart and lungs were all replaced with robotic parts from the assorted models.

Each series had its own advantages, the Cobalt series was the cheapest, and had the most generic capabilities, therefore it was used for the average infantryman and mass-produced. The Rapier series was more expensive as its HUD had an advanced targeting up link and stronger alloy coating, it was used for field snipers and anti-vehicular soldiers. The Mandible series had all the Rapier had and slightly better reflexes, it also boasted a moderate personal energy shield, which had a replaceable Ion battery. It was by far the most expensive and generally given to the squad leaders. An improved version used for the higher ranking commanders.

The suits quickly caught the army's attention and within weeks over 10,000 had been sold and distributed. Liandri also sold the armies prototype shock rifles with rapid-fire capabilities. They also produced shock rifles with scopes on them, due to their intense accuracy, the photon beams were replaced by high intensity Ion beams to increase their effectiveness. The 'shock balls' fired by all these weapons do not need shot to explode and merely due so as the head away from the player, becoming more unstable the further away the get until the blow. The use of such weapons being Liandri had just bought a planet labeled AVM-3475, which had an abundance of resources needed to produce the said weapons.

They had also developed a new rocket launcher which fired a standard rocket through several magnetic coils, increasing its velocity and thereby damage. They named this weapon the MARL-01 Cannon and sold it as well.

Unfortunately, the rebels had learned how this was done and made their own suits using the older Corrosion, Renegade, and Syzgy series. They did not have Liandri's resources to make the shock rifles in such large amounts, so they had settled for what they could make, which were standard projectile weapons such as mini-guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles. The rebels stole the MARL designs as well and produced them, thereby having some up to date technology.

The rebels were about to successfully start their own war.
