MILITARY ISSUED PULSE RIFLE

The pulse rifle is the standard weapon issued by the U.S.S.E. military division to all enlisted marines. It has poor range and does very little damage, but it does not require reloading or ammo, thus giving is a rapid fire rate. Its projectile is based upon a plasma charger located in the back portion of the rifle, which allows a quick burst of energy, expelled at a higher rate than traditional cardtridges.

MILITARY ISSUED HAND GRENADES

The M-37B electronic hand grenade was invented in 2160, and is based upon traditional grenade designs used in the 21st century. It always has flawless detonation, and its light weight design is complimentary to running and throwing far distances.

GRENADE LAUNCHER

Grenade launchers are not issued to traditional marine squadrons. A level 8 license must be aquired before being given a grenade launcher to take into battle, because of the extreme power it can wield. Its detonation is caused by the splitting of atoms, thus creating an explosion which cannot be surpassed by any other hand held weapon.

PLASMA RIFLE

The Plasma Rifle is an extremely powerful and deadly weapon. It was built this decade, and has not yet been mass produced for the military. Thus, it is only available to high ranking officers. The Plasma rifle is a burst weapon, shooting hundreds of charges per second, and with 100% accuracy. Each charge holds 100 units of energy, making reload a thing of the past. Thus, it is best used against hordes of enemies at a time.

ALIEN DAGGER

The alien dagger is made from compound metals found on the Kragolyte home planet. It is weilded by Kragolyte foot soldiers, as a secondary weapon to their laser guns.

ALIEN WEAPON

This weapon, dubbed the "Light Gun," is an extremely powerful and deadly weapon. It was first discovered by Bruce Aquinas, while fighting the aliens in Argentina. It is a standard weapon issued to the alien foot soldiers, and produces a giant laser that can cut through steel. Alot is unkown about this gun, including the ammo used and its ability to charge particles from surrounding space.

RED ROCK WEAPON

Little is known about this weapon. It is utilized by Kragolyte armored guardes, and shoots a rapid fire laser. Like the light gun, its most valuable attribute is its ability to charge particles from surrounding space, thus eliminating ammo.

ALIEN FIGHTER CRAFT

Little is known about this space craft. It was stolen and used to defeat the alien hordes (Brink Of Alienation III, level 2), but was shot down approximately 3000 miles from where the marines dropped off on the planet. It is outfitted with 2 Plasma Cannons, and can travel at supersonic speeds.

MAIN CHARACTER

Private Cyrus McCormic was drafted to fight in the Andromeda Galaxy against the Kragolytes. He is one of 4 million soldiers from our solar system to fight in the "Alien War."

The "Alien War" takes place a year after the Kragolyte outpost on Europa was destroyed by Bruce Aquinas, a very decorated Captain of the military. Bruce Aquinas has not been heard of since that day one year ago.

(Cyrus is the main character of BOA III and IV, Bruce Aquinas is the main character from BOA I and II, and well as BOA: Substance.)

Kragolyte Speedwalker

Amongst the marines, this creature has been named the "speedwalker," and the name has stuck. It is the most common in the Kragolyte alien species, and has also proven extremely deadly for its ability to charge without fear, and kill without doubt. It is stealthy and quiet, and can maneuver around almost any landscape without problem. Although previous races of the speedwalker have used locomotion by hopping on their two feet, the speedwalkers on the Kragolyte home-planet tend to run rather than hop (perhaps due to the lighter gravitational force present on their planet.)

weaknesses:

The speedwalker is susceptible to light machine gun fire or grenade launchers. Also, you can take out a pack of them with a well placed hand grenade.

Wormacron

This creature strikes fear into all marines.The wormacron hides beneath the ground and emerges only when its prey is in close proximity. There are many different species of wormacron, varying in size and appearance. However, this specific wormacron is only found in swampy damp locations. Much like spiders on earth, it attacks by spitting a blob of sticky resedue on its prey, which decomposes proteins, thus immobilizing it for later consumpion. It is believed that in the depths of the jungles, there is a wormacron Queen, which is larger than any other previously seen.

weaknesses:

The speedwalker is susceptible to light machine gun fire or grenade launchers. Also, you can take out a pack of them with a well placed hand grenade.

Rhygoron

Little is known about these water dwelling creatures. However, some unlucky soldiers on outpost 12 said they were backed into a large body of water, in attempt to escape a pack of twenty or more speedwalkers, when they discovered these creatures waiting patiently to feed on their next unsuspecting prey. Any soldier who has had the misfortune of encountering a Rhygoron said that they are extremely fast, and have comparable tendancies to a shark.

weaknesses:

Unknown.

Heavy Guard

The Kragolyte heavy guard is a very common enemy found near space ports, motherships, and other alien bases. The Kragolyte seen here is a more evolved species of alien as compared to the Speedwalker and its closest decendants. It is capable of weilding weaponry and operating vehicles. The Heavy cannon it operates is not only used for its extreme firepower, but also as a defense, as regular machine gun fire cannot penetrate the steel compound.

weaknesses:

Use a grenade to take out the heavy cannon, and then finish them off with well aimed machine gun fire.

Elite Guard

The Kragolyte elite guard is a very hard enemy to battle. It is quick and powerful, and can dodge most attacks. These are one of the most difficult footsoldiers to kill.

weaknesses:

Heavy weapons, machine gun, grenades usually don't work because the elite guard will duck and dodge most attacks.
