The following is a description of the story for Zero-G Marines given
by Strategy First during an interview with Action
Vault.
"The year is 2353, Earth has colonized the solar system. Powerful
corporations reap great profits from deep space industry and wield more
power than the various world governments. The largest of these is TerraCorp,
a very powerful organization with a heavily vested interest in the Vista
Orbital Space Stations (VOSS), orbiting the largest moons of Jupiter.
VOSS permits access to a wealth of resources and impressive research
and manufacturing capabilities in a zero-g environment. On September
18th, all contact from Station Europa ceased. Within six months, one
station after another fell silent. A last garbled transmission from
Station Ganymede revealed a military assault from Europa, before it
was spiked.
It becomes evident that a military coup has taken place and using new
bio-genetic research on Station Europa, has created a deadly force of
zealots. A top-secret military bio-chemical research project on Space
Station Europa has gone horribly wrong. A small group, known as the
Council of 9, lead by a shadowy figure calling himself Nihilo, has seized
the facility and used the newly created microbial virus to infect and
control the inhabitants. It physically creates a new neuro-transmitter
that induces blind obedience and heightened strength and senses. These
zealots have quickly overrun several space stations, by infecting everyone
they can. They now threaten Earth itself.
TerraCorp has decided to take the drastic step of sending the Zero-G
Marines, an elite marine force equipped with the most powerful individual
weapon system ever created. Their mission is to find out what happened
on the Vista Stations, and to use deadly force to regain control of
the situation. The ultimate, deadly tactical response force, the Zero-G
Marines unit was created with the mandate to keep the peace in the frontiers
of the solar system. Their main weapon is the Exo-shell, a deep space
combat suit that packs more firepower than any single man weapon in
the history of warfare. The marines will be months away from friendly
forces in the cold vacuum of space against an unknown enemy. If they
fail, the threat on Europa might envelope the rest of the solar system
including Earth itself."
