Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars

Synopsis

Continues the story of Starship Troopers: Invasion

Invasion starts with the Bugs launching an attack on Fort Casey, a Federation outpost. The fast attack ship Alesia is dispatched to assist the starship John A. Warden, currently stationed at Fort Casey, in evacuating survivors and delivering vital military intelligence to Earth. At the same time, Carl Jenkins, the head of the Ministry of Paranormal Warfare, takes the starship on a secret mission before rendezvousing with the Alesia, then vanishes into a nearby nebula. The veteran troopers are subsequently given a rescue mission that may lead to repercussions far darker than they ever anticipated.

In this installment

In the events following Invasion, Colonel Johnny Rico is assigned to train a new group of troopers on a Martian satellite. However, these latest recruits, being Martians themselves, show a lackluster attitude toward the war effort, considering it irrelevant because their planet has remained untouched by the bug invasions. In general, Mars displays minimal enthusiasm for continuing the fight, with some even advocating for withdrawal from the conflict. This complacency leads to a devastating surprise when the bugs launch a sudden attack. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to everyone, Sky Marshal Amy Snapp is secretly executing plans to seize control.
