Psychic

Armed with an ability to channel and manipulate the flow of psychic energies, the Psychic is a fierce and capable force. On multiple occasions she has single-handedly disposed of significant contingents of troops with a single psychic shockwave.

The Humans have a strategy for how to effectively make use of the Psychic in the coming war with the Ematrants: send her to the front lines… and get out of her way.

Light Infantry

What the Humans needed was a mass-produced fighting machine… a specimen uniquely acclimated to the diverse, and sometimes challenging, atmosphere and terrain of other planets. The result of their research was the Human Light Infantry. Their strength lies in both their brute power and their numbers. Programmed to be highly motivated and disciplined the Light Infantry are perfectly suited for battle on the inhospitable planets this war is fought.

Air/Ground Infantry

Kill them and more will come… With an ingrained warrior mentality, these specially bred agents of war seem to crave the intensity, the heightened state of anxiety, and the finality of battle. To the ruthless cloned units of the Air/Ground Infantry, the carnage of war is not only to be expected – it is the thing they live and die for.

Armed with Rocket Launchers, these units view the killing of Ematrants, or any other target for that matter, as simply another enjoyable practice day at the target range. Now that the cloning methodology has been perfected, these anti-vehicle units are in high demand.

Special Infantry/Suicide Clone

Built to effectively traverse the most challenging and dangerous terrain, the Suicide Drone packs an unmistakable message for the unsuspecting target. The highly potent munitions in its payload will readily attest to its effectiveness. Make no mistake, when this mobile bomb rolls in, massive destruction can’t be far behind…

Developed to easily maneuver and deliver the maximum degree of collateral damage once its target is encountered, the Ematrants shouldn’t be shocked to suddenly see their stronghold defenses disintegrate before their eyes.

Droid Worker

Droids Workers are utilized by the Humans for collection of resources and construction of all required structures. Given their primary roles of construction and resource gathering, the Droid Worker will not automatically attack an enemy that comes within its range. Instead of a weapon, they are simply given a Soldering Tool.

Human Force Field Generator

Force fields are a critical component of Human defenses. Once researched and built, a Force Field Generator can produce a force field large enough to protect five medium structures. Enemies and their weapons cannot penetrate the force field – yet Humans can move freely in and out of its range. The Force Field Generator requires power to run… from a Power Station that can only function outside of the force field.

Human Clone Lab – Barracks

For numerous reasons, not the least of which were practicality and limited availability of troops, Humans are greatly dependent on their ability to produce sufficient quantities of clones to match the anticipated Ematrant military might on the battlefield. Clone Labs are solely responsible for the production of Light Infantry, Air/Ground Infantry and Suicide Drones (once they have been researched at the Advanced Weapons Facility). Without appropriately planned, constructed and protected Clone Labs, the Humans know the whole mission, and thus their very survival, would lie in much greater doubt.

Human Ground Weapons Factory

The Ground Weapons Factory is one of the larger Human facilities – responsible for the production of both the Battle Mechs and Long Range Artillery.

Human Weapons Research Station

For Humans attempting to overcome unfamiliar conditions on an unfamiliar planet, research of weaponry and related structures is vital. This makes the Weapons Research Station strategically important for any successful military plan as Heavy Battle Mechs, Suicide Drones and Troop Transporters must be researched there before being built and deployed.

Human Aircraft Factory

The Humans fully expect that on Saturn 5, much as is the case on Earth – nothing demoralizes the enemy like the devastation after a massive air campaign. Once the Aircraft Factory is completed and appropriately powered, it’s clear that the Bombers, Fighter/Bombers and Troop Transporters produced there could have a telling effect on the dynamics of every other phase of battle.

Human Power Station

While most structures deployed by the Humans have internal power sources, two critical structures, Defense Towers and Force Field Generators are dependent on external power provided by the Power Station. Given the significant amount of energy required to power these structures, internal power sources simply aren’t up to the task. A thirty unit capacity is produced by each functioning Power Station.

Human Bio-Habitat

Bio-Habitats provide housing for clones – offering shelter from the elements and a temporary respite from the grueling war. Generally speaking, the maximum size of a clone force can be appropriately determined by the number of Bio-Habitats constructed – as each Bio-Habitat supports up to ten units.

Human Defense Turret

To bolster defenses for high value bases, Humans can deploy Defense Turrets. These Defense Turrets, with their massive gatling cannons– can provide excellent anti-ground and anti-air defense.

Human Science Station

Given the experience of many excursions in search of a sustainable atmosphere, it was common knowledge that weaponry and defensive mechanisms can function dramatically different when exposed to new environmental conditions. For this reason, Humans will typically deploy mobile Science Stations to adapt advanced technology to perform appropriately in that environment – before making it available on the battlefield. Defense Turrets and Force Field Generators must both be research at the Science Station before they can be utilized by Humans.

Human Long Range Artillery

Slow moving, yet highly effective, Humans depend on Long Range Artillery to deliver a decisive military punch wherever enemy forces congregate. Given its ability to pierce most enemy defenses with accurate, devastating explosive shells, and the Ematrants previously demonstrated inability to quickly disable the few armored vehicles on Saturn 5 when the colonies were cowardly attacked – how could the deployment of a full complement of Long Range Artillery vehicles not signify eventual victory for the Humans?

Human Main Base

The largest and most distinct of all Human structures, the Main Base is the initial staging structure for all invasions – as well as a friendly, well protected foothill on whatever territory is to be conquered. The Main Base must be well protected as it is the origin of all efforts.

Human Main Battle Mech

Highly effective against enemy air and ground units, the Main Battle Mech is a cornerstone for massive battlefield altercations. Moving at a medium speed, this mechanical warrior is armed with Dull Laser Pulse Cannons – capable of issuing considerable damage to any battlefield foe. In RTS mode, the Main Battle Mech. will automatically attack an enemy that enters within rage. In the FPS mode, the Heavy Battle Mech. can be occupied and controlled by the Battlefield Commander or a First Person Character – to attack enemy First Person Characters.

Human Heavy Battle Mech (Devastator)

Big and lumbering, the Heavy Battle Mech was never built for speed or agility. Instead the Heavy Battle Mech has one purpose… mass destruction at the enemy’s expense. With few exceptions, the extent of collateral damage to Ematrant infrastructure will be extremely evident once the Heavy Battle Mech makes an appearance on the battlefield, armed with its gigantic cannon. In RTS mode, the Heavy Battle Mech will automatically attack any enemy that enters within range. In the FPS mode, the Heavy Battle Mech can be occupied and controlled by the Battlefield Commander or a First Person Character – to attack enemy First Person Characters.

Human Long Range Artillery

A large, slow moving unit, equipped with a long barrel for effective delivery of artillery over great distances – the Long Range Artillery tank is debilitating means of softening any fortified target before all out assault. In RTS mode, the Long Range Artillery will automatically attack an enemy that comes within range. In FPS mode, Long Range Artillery can be occupied by a Battlefield Commander and First Person Characters.

Human Bomber

Stripped of armor to facilitate the optimum devastation a full payload can provide, the Bomber is the weapon of choice for raining absolute fury on the unsuspecting forces of the enemy. In a flash, the Saturn 5 heavens will appear to have opened up, showering a storm of explosions and destruction as far as the eye can see. In RTS and FPS modes, the Bomber will attack only as designated. When selected by the Battlefield Commander, the Bomber can attack enemy First Person Characters.

Troop Transport

Used to quickly transport troops to wherever the battle requires, the Transport is an important component of the Human military arsenal. While the Transport is armed with no offensive or defensive weapons to utilize against foes, it is heavily fortified with armor to ensure its cargo will be delivered without incident. The Troop Transport can be occupied and controlled by the Battlefield Commander alone.

Resources – Humans

It took some time, but we finally succeeded. Given our lack of familiarity with the natural resources available on Saturn 5, the decade long window before we were able to reopen the wormhole had at least one benefit… additional time. The severity of dwindled natural resources on Earth, along with the inherent difficulties of transport for the magnitude required for the most massive war ever to be waged – left us with no viable means of producing the resources needed. The situation mandated our best minds find a way to master a means of successfully breaking down the collected sample Saturn 5 resource deposits, to produce the elements needed.

Now that a dependable method has been determined and the Construction Droid has been appropriately modified to optimize collection rates, we are ready. The resource deposit pools, seemingly pretty common on the planet, contain a crystallized crust at the edge which Construction Droids can effectively secure via vise-like extensions from their arm. Once collected, the Construction Droids will deliver the deposits to the Main Base for effective allocation and utilization by the Battlefield Commander. As the availability and processing of this resource is vital for virtually every strategic element necessary to defeat the Ematrants, it’s relevance to the war’s outcome can not be overstated.

Our projections suggest there should be adequate deposit reservoirs to facilitate the production of necessary facilities, artificial intelligence modules and weapons needed – as long as the Battlefield Commanders appropriately plan construction of Droids, and effectively direct and protect them. Survival of the human race depends on it…
