The Story
On the war-torn planets of tomorrow, mankind's greatest battle is about
to begin. With its frontier colonies devastated by a growing
insurrection, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armored Infantry
(nicknamed "Section 8") to repel the coming onslaught.
The nickname
refers to an old United States military regulation where a soldier
would be dismissed from service through being mentally unfit for duty.
The near-suicidal missions that this division volunteers for brands
them as insane by other military units.
Section 8 deploys
by 'burning in' from their orbital drop ships tens of thousands of feet
above the battlefield, utilizing the most advanced arsenal of military
hardware known to man. Their mission: to scout and secure difficult
objectives and smash enemy defenses in lightning-quick assaults.
