Starship Troopers: Terran Command - Raising Hell DLC unleashed
17 Aug 2023
Attention, citizens of the Federation!
Strap in and lock 'n' load as Starship Trooper: Terran Command drops the bombshell you've been waiting for - the "Raising Hell" DLC is coming in hot! Brace yourselves for an infernal battleground on the godforsaken world of Gehenna, where molten lava, volcanic eruptions, and hordes of savage Arachnids conspire to test your mettle!
Raise Hell with new missions. Far above the surface of Gehenna lies the majestic Vilon Station, a vital space hub where colossal freighters feed its unyielding thirst for fuel. But with the Bug War on the rise, mercenary defenses can't cut it anymore. That's where the Mobile Infantry charges in - and that means you, citizen!
Deploy advanced firepower. When it's Bug hunting season, you need the best tools for the job! Take command of the Engineering Biped, improvising frontline defense with a drilling arm that'll turn Arachnids into cosmic dust. Firefighters stand ready to extinguish the flames of war, wielding portable extinguishers that even put raging Arachnids in their place. And we're not done yet - Frag Mercs' frags pack a punch, and Shredder Mercs are armed with portable miniguns that'll perforate Bugs like paper.
Beware evolved Arachnids. Gehenna's inferno has bred Bugs of unimaginable terror. Stingers swarm with heated vengeance, while Immolators burst in a fiery finale when you poke 'em enough. Watch your six for Pyroflies, impervious to standard rifle fire, and Bomberbees - dive bombers out to bring Bug booms!
Mark your calendars. Starship Trooper: Terran Command - Raising Hell is on the horizon, ready to land by the end of the year.
Service guarantees citizenship, and this is your chance to shine in the Mobile Infantry's ranks.

Breaking FedNet news - live from Gehenna
Fri, September 15, 2023
We now join our troopers live from the surface of what our brave colonists call “Gehenna”. It is here, on this unforgiving hellscape of molten lava and volcanic activity that the brave men and women of the Mobile Infantry beat back the Arachnid threat.
But why fight for this uninhabitable rock? Orbiting above lies the critically vital Vilon Station. A true feat of human ingenuity, the station provides the Federation with access to the vast fuel extraction and refining industry on the planet's surface. Thus, the station is a nexus of trade between Kwalasha, other Federation colonies and Earth.
Breaking News - The battle for surface is heating up, but worry not, as our reporter is embedded with the new and formidable “Engineering Biped”. As you can see, this machine was originally designed for heavy industrial labor, welding, drilling and the like. However, a combat redesign by security forces have turned this machine into an effective defense against the Arachnid aggressor.
It’s not just close quarters combat which is the Bipeds forte, as it possesses the elite ability to drop a trail of fire. Activating this ability gives the bipedal vehicle a speed boost, allowing it to quickly lay down a barrier of flames that can stop a Bug attack from reaching vulnerable positions.
What is that? It appears to be one of the recently discovered Immolator Bugs! Scientists have yet to fully understand this endemic-to-Gehenna Arachnid, but comprehension of the enemy is not a requirement for its destruction! The heavy armor of the Engineering Biped is more than a match for this flame-spewing monster. But be careful troopers, this Bug has been known to make suicidal charges in its last desperate moments.
Scientists recommend that you keep your distance!
Federal Engineering is truly something to behold, but don’t get complacent troopers. Disturbing reports of a new kind of flying bug have just recently arrived, and it’s a dangerous one. Nicknamed the “Bomberbee”, this ugly abomination carries a payload of deadly acid - released when it suicide bombs its victims.
Our mechanized units are particularly vulnerable, so be sure to shoot down these threats quickly troopers!
That’s all from our live reporting for now, but if you would like to know more, why not volunteer to serve in the Mobile Infantry? Nobody knows when the next wave will be drafted, but some say it will most likely be in the fall. You’ll have your chance to experience this action and excitement for yourself.
Keep a keen eye out, and you too could be a Citizen.

Mercenaries join the battle against the Arachnids
Attention, citizens of the Federation! Our mission to keep you informed continues as we explore the depths of the upcoming Raising Hell DLC, revealing new forces joining the battle for Gehenna. For protection of its people and assets, the corporation that exploits Gehenna for its valuable resources has relied on contracted mercenaries. These are tough and battle hardened individuals, often with a background of military experience or have been forged by the unforgiving conditions of isolated human colonies.
Frag Mercs
In our continuing coverage of the Raising Hell DLC, we introduce you to a variety of mercenary unit types. Deploying mercenary units requires Funds: a new unit cap that works similar to War Support but separates Mobile Infantry and Mercenary unit types. For an optimal army composition, you’ll have to find a good mix of both.
Today we will highlight one of the fresh additions to the mercenary roster: the Frag Mercs.
A Flexible Weapon
The Frag Mercs are equipped with a unique weapon capable of toggling between firing fragmentation shells in close combat and launching grenades for longer distance engagements. The former is very effective to pin down waves of Arachnids, while the explosive grenades provide indirect fire support and excel at taking out armored enemies and structures.

Minelaying Abilities
Elite Frag Mercs gain the ability to deploy proximity mines. You can choose between either Frag Mines - which set off a consecutive series of charges when triggered - or Fire Mines - which do what it says on the box: bursting into a blazing fire.
When placed correctly, both mines can have a major impact on the outcome of a defensive engagement.

As we prepare for the release of the Raising Hell DLC, stay tuned to FedNet for more exclusive updates on the front lines of this relentless war.
The Federation remains steadfast in its resolve to protect its interests and citizens, no matter the cost.
