A new planet, a new home, a new enemy.In the mid 23rd century humanity took to the stars; at least, those that could afford it.Earth was a polluted cesspool and mankind's only hope lay in a dozen great ships that took off in a dozen different directions.This is the story of one of them.Beta Nine turned out to be inhabited by two very different species. One that looked and lived like sword wielding Europeans of the Middle Ages; the other looked like nothing you have ever seen before. A tall, humanoid-like, nomadic race with a hard exoskeleton that's main occupations were war and keeping human cattle as a food source.Into this 'brave new world' comes Earth's ill prepared colonists and a division of Deep Space Marines, led by Tribune Tiberius Augustus Collins.So come along if you dare. Pick up a blaster and join T.A.Collins as he goes off to deal with the Skells.
