DOSSIER

7/30/2019 The Corporation Dossier

2/8

The galaxy is burning. The malevolent

human Corporaon is expanding its

sphere of inuence, annexing moreand more star systems to its territories,

bringing every alien civilizaon it can

under its control. Or, if this proves

impossible, exterminang them.

The Corporaons strategy is to make

contact with alien civilizaons and

dazzle them with humanitys superior

technology [Note: Only 27 species have

so far been encountered that possess

higher understanding of the sciences

than the Corporaon]. Appearing as

benefactors, Corporaon diplomats will

oer massive technological help to these

planets: new forms of power, transit,

communicaon and all the benets a

thousand year old technological societycan bring.

Very few peoples turn this down.

Oered membership as equal partners

in the Great Galacc Co-prosperity

Sphere, these new worlds will at rst beopmisc and proud of their status, but

over me they discover the truth. Their

sociees undergo massive, traumac

change, overthrowing whatever customs

and governance they once possessed in

return for the bland, pan-galacc culture

of the Corporaon.

Worse, what is inially oered free in

the spirit of common senent interest

does not remain so for long. Soon the

incorporated culture will be dependent

on Corporaon goods and services, and

bled dry to pay for them.

Turned into lile beer than puppet

states, these slave-sociees are druggedby the cheap, get-rich-quick atudes

of Corporaon culture, and will gladly

devote all of their planets resources

to enriching the Corporaon and the

few local bureaucrats that run the

business for it, while the majority of

the populaon plummet into a state of

poverty and servitude.

This form of cultural imperialism

takes me, and it does not always

work. Somemes the most primive

culture can see through the baubles

the Corporaon oers to the truth.

Other mes, a civilisaon may be too

savage, too advanced or just too damn

alien to risk bringing in to mans great

galacc family. In these cases, theCorporaon will deploy its considerable

military might. Full-scale invasion and

subjugaon has been the fate of many,

even complete annihilaon if a race

proves too troublesome.

Well trained and equipped with the

best in military technology, Corporaon

Troopers are worth scores of the

warriors of less advanced cultures. The

Troopers armour is oen invulnerable

to the naves weapons, leaving them

free to mercilessly mow down scores

of the enemies with pulses from their

laser weaponry. Indeed, a great many

Corporaon recruitment videos glory

in human troops slaughtering spear-waving savages for the beerment of

the cosmos. If they encounter heavier

resistance, the Troopers can bring the

awesome repower of their tanks

and powered exoskeletons to bear. In

dire circumstances an expedionary

commander may peon Corporaon

Central to unleash their most specialised

force who will quickly dispatch even themost stubborn of foes.

A system that has been cleared of

hosle indigenous aliens is ripe for re-

colonizaon by the humans that form

the largest part of the Corporaons

populaon. More oen than not they

too are oppressed as they strip the placeof its natural resources.

From its ancient beginnings on the Solar

System, the Corporaon has spread like

a malignant cancer across the galaxy,

covering enre sectors in its tyrannical

rule and suocang any aempt to live

free of its clutches. Their expansion

connues, but the galaxy is a big place.The Corporaon is not the monolithic

enty many think it to be, and suers

tensions between the great Houses

and Companies that comprise it. And

all those pampered, rich men who

debate and bicker in the sterile halls of

Corporaon Central share one, deep-

seated fear: that sooner or later the

Corporaon will meet its match in the

unexplored expanses of deep space

The armies of the Corporaon are led

into bale by seasoned commanders

hardened from a thousand bales

across hundreds of star systems.

When Corporaon Central decides on a

new commercial campaign of aggressive

expansion, it is upon their Commanders

shoulders that the responsibility lies; andthey take their responsibilies seriously.

Barking orders and Corporaon dogma

that none dare ignore, the Commander

is an imposing, yet inspiraonal sight on

the baleeld.

CORPORATION

MAJOR GENERAL

When the diplomats fail, the military arm

of the Corporaon is sent in to eradicate

all hosle opposion. A Corporaon

Expedionary Force is a sight that chills

the blood of all who stand before it.

Corporaon Commanders launch their

bale-plans, rst sending out RangerTeams to seize important baleeld

objecves or take out enemy leaders

with well placed precision shoong.

The enemies cover is quickly destroyed

while enemy formaons are swept aside

by the Heavy Weapons Teams. Then the

Marines go in.

Taking out what opposion remains and

backed up by Veterans armed with re

suppression units, any uprising is soonstamped out and brought under control

of the Co-Prosperity Sphere Corporaon

once more.

AT WAR

Where the diplomats fail, the Marinesucceeds.

Taken from the cizens of a thousand

worlds, trained to follow orders without

queson and kill without thought, the

Corporaon Marine is the hammer that

beats the Co-Prosperity Sphere message

home. Armed with the latest taccal

laser weaponry and wearing resilientbaleeld armour, an invasion by these

deadly warriors means another world

will soon fall under Corporaon control.

CORPORATION

MARINES

Having survived several campaigns, a Marine is rewarded by being trained in the

use of even more powerful weapons.

Numbed to the horrors of bale, these Veterans are taught greater baleeld taccsusing weapons that can punch through a tank. Other specialist Veterans learn to

use re- suppression units while others are equipped with powerful close combat

technology so devastang they can kill even the biggest foe.

VETERANS

Ulising their years of experience, theCorporaon Rangers strike ahead of the

main force, their stealth-suits keeping

them hidden from the enemy unl they

are ready to aack.

Some missions require them to lay

down rivers of repower upon the

enemy, suppressing them unl the main

force arrives to mop up the remains.Other missions see these elite troops

taking out enemy commanders, seizing

objecves and capturing enemy troops

for informaon retrieval.

CORPORATION

RANGERS

As the main forces of the Corporaon

steadily advance, these disciplined

teams provide devastang cover

support.

Rapid re lasers strafe the enemy

posions, ripping apart troops in ablistering hail of laser re while the

more powerful cannons blast defensive

structures into dust.

HEAVY WEAPONS

7/30/2019 The Corporation Dossier

7/8

The reght was intense. Criss-crossing

beams of energy sang through the air,

superheang it unl it seemed they were

ghng on the deserts of Halkari Prime

rather than on the dark red mud of

Hadax. Another stanchion of the bridge

exploded but sll the damned thing

wouldnt fall.

Two hundred Marauders ran towards thebridge, their weapons growling in their

giant paws while frenzied drool ran from

their tusks. They were eager for bale

and ready to die.

Corporal Zimmer of the 23rd Secon

would gladly grant their wish, but rst

he had a job to do. He fastened another

magnec charge to the stanchion while

around him his re team opened up onthe charging brutes.

Last one! Zimmer shouted. Whether

or not they heard him, he didnt care. He

just needed to fasten this charge in place

and then...

The shot took him in the side, blasng

through the single place he wore no

armour. He grunted and fell, landing

in the mud before rolling down the

embankment. His feet fell into the river

and immediately began to smoke as the

acid-stream ate away at his boots. He

screamed but there was no one to help

him. On the bridge, the Maruaders cut

down the last of the re team and set

about butchering them for war trophies.

Zimmer began to slide further into the

stream, his cries now a bubbling groan

as his legs now began to dissolve as he

slipped further and further down the

bank. He reached out in desperaon,

hoping to nd something to grab hold of

and stop his slide into oblivion, but all his

ngers found was the arming device.

On the bridge a Marauder climbed onto

the stanchion and waved for those

behind to come across. Zimmer could

see dark shapes, thousands of them,

moving towards the bridge. The acid-stream was up to his waist now, the

surface stained a dark crimson with his

blood. It frothed as it slowly ate away his

body, but just as he slipped beneath its

surface, Zimmer closed his hand on the

trigger.

The bridge and several hundred

Marauders, exploded in a giant blast of

light and sound...x

The Marauders are running, the

TEO said. A cheer ran round the room.

Commander Reid let it connue for a

moment and then held his hand up.

Silence fell like a knife.

Of course they are. Nothing but animals

and what does an animal do when its

cornered... puts its tail between its legs

and runs for home.

If they make it back to their territories,

were going to have a hard me burning

them out, an 3rd Class Technician said.

Then we beer do something about

that, hadnt we? Reid opened the

commline. Lile Blue, have you been

listening?

Sir.

Operaon Hammerfall is go!
