Starship Troopers Rulebook, Hardcover, by Mongoose Publishing
Welcome to Starship Troopers: The Roleplaying Game, featuring the Mobile Infantry, Arachnids and the struggle of Mankind for supremacy of the galaxy. Based on the original novel by Robert Heinlein, the two movies and the Roughnecks Chronicles animated series, this is a game of high-octane excitement, danger and glory on the battlefields of far-off star systems. By playing Starship Troopers, you can create a character who lives both in the far future as well as in your own imagination and that of your friends. The Starship Troopers Roleplaying Game 256-page main rulebook is on its way. It’s time to do your part!
Armoured in a power suit and equipped with the best weapons in existence, a Mobile Infantry trooper is a match for any Arachnid. When the power suit’s batteries flicker and die, however, when the mighty weapons run dry of ammunition, the tables are turned.
In Ambush at Altair, the troopers face an Arachnid menace made all the more terrible by the troopers’ own isolation. They are the one and only line of defence facing a sudden and unexpected Arachnid assault on Federation space, on the Altair colony of Tango Urilla, fighting with extremely limited resources against a seemingly endless flood of enemies.
Ambush at Altair, a 32-page scenario for the Starship Troopers Roleplaying Game, pits a handful of troopers, running low on weapons, ammunition and armour, against a hostile world brimming with Arachnids. If they fail, the colony will fall. If they survive, they will be heroes of the Federation.
This 160 page full colour hardback is packed full of information on the bugs, whether you are a trooper dedicated to saving the Federation or a Games Master looking to terrify your players.
The Arachnid Empire includes a complete update on the universe of Starship Troopers, detailing the Road to Victory campaign, the disastrous Klendathu Invasion and its aftermath. A complete bug colony is mapped out, allowing you to set scenarios and campaigns based around raids into Arachnid-held territory, and there is a guide to over 30 different sub-species of bug! Added to this is information on Arachnid society, their aims and tactics, and you have a complete guide to Mankind's greatest threat.
Starship Troopers: Boot Camp details the process of becoming Mobile Infantry. It covers every step from recruitment through the first mission. It offers players a chance to see exactly what their characters go through, leading to a better grasp of their characters’ training and personal history: How characters become recruits; the training itself and the boot camp where training takes place; the postgraduate placement when they have escalated from recruit to private; and finally, their introductory mission. Whether you are a player or the Games Master, this book will tell you how the Mobile Infantry are created from lesser men and what rites of passage they must endure to gain that ultimate privilege - citizenship.
Citizenship brings responsibilities as well as rights, something that every person in the United Citizens’ Federation, be they citizen or civilian, knows very well. Citizenship also brings opportunity, the chance to travel and understand the whole of the Federation in a way very few civilians can, a chance to truly see the beauty and immensity of the Federation.
Citizens’ Federation, a supplement to the Starship Troopers Roleplaying Game, acts as the reader’s tour guide through the Federation, illuminating all aspects of the Federation in unprecedented detail. From the cultures, laws and societies of Earth, to the history of the Federation itself, to an in-depth look at some of humanity’s major colonies in space, Citizens’ Federation contains a wealth of information for players and Games Masters alike.
The defining trait of a citizen is the willingness to put the safety of the human race ahead of his own. A wise citizen understands that remaining true to that trait requires more than a decision to enlist in Federal Service, it requires understanding what the Federation truly is, and what it truly means. It requires knowing what he is fighting for.
