The BLUE Insectoid Extinction Event
In July 2031, a massive, predatory species known as the "BLUE" emerged, rapidly consuming human biomass across Earth. Highly adaptable with impenetrable chitinous armor, the BLUE forced surviving remnants of humanity to flee into low-Earth orbit aboard the space station "Second Earth."
Second Earth High Command & High-Tech Fascism
Military Oligarchy · Human Conditioning
A massive space station sanctuary housing millions of survivors. Governed by a cold, utilitarian High Command, Second Earth treats human citizens as replaceable military assets, brainwashing soldiers like Marlene Angel to execute missions without emotional attachment.
Armored Shrike Bipedal Units
High-Mobility Mech · Anti-BLUE Autocannons
The primary human mechanized defense force. Armored Shrikes are agile, bipedal combat suits equipped with heavy autocannons, anti-armor launchers, and pneumatic spikes. Despite their firepower, Shrikes are highly vulnerable to swarm tactics and acid attacks.
Double-Bored Autocannon & Mech-Pikes
Heavy Kinetic Ordnance · Anti-Chitin Weapons
Armored Shrikes rely on extreme physical force to pierce BLUE armor. Their main weapons are double-barreled high-caliber cannons firing depleted uranium rounds, alongside hydraulic Mech-Pikes designed to punch through dense exoskeleton plates.
Dice Quaid & Rick (Transport Crew)
Roughneck Veterans · Overland Logistics
Roughneck transport drivers who pilot armored land-cruisers across the hazardous wilderness. Dice provides cynical wisdom and practical survival skills, acting as a father figure to Yuji before falling during a BLUE ambush.
