Rust in Desolation Concepts

(Author's Note: I know I said earlier that this was the final version, but in the past few days I've come up with more ideas for this story. As such I've smartly decided to return this to a work in progress until the prologue is uploaded. I'll will post the date of the final version when that is done, so expect frequent changes.)

This is the concept for a Murder Drones AU. This will be a new story, with the prologue coming most likely in March, with chapter 1 releasing in late summer. The story will differ from the original show but will follow a similar story. The prologue has a planned release in March/April, with chapter 1 coming in the fall. This story will be rated M for graphic violence/gore, horror elements, and explicit sexual content. Below is a brief summary of the story, followed by the main cast and a weapons breakdown.

Synopsis: (Year, 2305.) After a military reconnaissance ship went missing, a marine patrol ship was dispatched to find them. Their search leads them to a desolate planet near the edge of the colonized zone, a world previously lost to the hands of time. Eager to reclaim the world, a platoon of heavily armed marines is sent to the surface to investigate. However, they soon realize why the world was abandoned. As blades meet flesh, the marines flee for their lives. Cut off from their ship, they hide in the shadows, searching for a way off the cursed rock.
