Story So Far:
In the mid-21st century, a barbaric alien race called the Strogg launched a massive invasion on Earth. While the invasion was originally believed to be an attempt to strip the planet of its natural resources, humans soon discovered the Strogg are only after one thing: the human remains of those they kill. Through a horrific process, the limbs and flesh of the fallen are fused with metal and machinery to create the monstrosities that are the alien Strogg.
The Strogg battled the human race for years on Earth, but as resources became depleted, Earth mounted a counter-assault on the Strogg homeworld. The first assault force was launched from the fleet and encountered massive resistance - most of the drop-ships were destroyed by the Strogg homeworld's massive defense weapon known as "The Big Gun." One surviving Marine broke through and was able to destroy The Big Gun and ultimately defeat the Strogg leader, the Makron. However, the war did not end there.
The Strogg proved to be extremely resilient, and as the war continued to rage, the Strogg regrouped and constructed a new and more powerful Makron. Corporal Mathew Kane of Rhino Squad fought the Strogg on their homeworld of Stroggos and was captured by the Strogg. He underwent the process of 'Stroggification' and became a Strogg himself. Though before the neural control chip could be planted into his head, his squad rescued him. Kane from then on began fighting with Marine forces to defeat the Makron threat and ultimately, the Strogg.
After a new operation began to eliminate the Strogg's communications network, Kane succeeded in destroying the Nexus, the communications control center and defeat the new Makron. However, the war still rages on.
MEDICS AND TECHNICIANS:
Support crew, in the form of Medics and Technicians, are also there to assist you in the battle against the Strogg. Medics can heal you and Technicians can patch up your armor, both up to maximum levels. Medics have a strong medical knowledge and can provide first-aid techniques unknown to the regular Marine, whom only know basic first aid.
In addition to being able to patch up your armor, technicians have strong knowledge in communications and technical softwares. They are essential for accessing restricted areas and being able to bypass lots of security devices in place. Some technicians may even invest some of their experience into learning and understanding Strogg technology or even reading their complex language.
