Heavily wounded and captured as a trophy by the Morgon Grenadiers, Sam has awoken to discover the depths of horror the enemy can stoop to. His body broken, he has been reformed under the contorted supervision of Morgon scientists and is now set to join the ranks of the enemy ‘Black Death’ Battalion, a unit comprised of broken captives from across the conquered worlds, technically and toxically enhanced.
Now on their way to earth with other Morgon vessels, the newly formed Black Death Battalion of contorted and transformed troops will perhaps lead the onslaught against human survival.
Character Overview: Earth
With the emergence of Morgon grenadiers across earth and Decimator Warships in the atmosphere above, the battle for the survival of the planet has now begun. Trevakian ships were simply blown from space by the immense power of the Morgon Warships, some of the fortunate crew abandoning their vessels on orders as Vice-Admiral Chergui set his own ship on a suicidal collision course with one of the attackers.
Landing on earth, they face an uncertain future with the planet under direct attack.
Admiral Karladen
Transported in a Trevakian Skorpion Class Battle Cruiser, Admiral Karladen was the chosen commander to make first contact with earth. His highly decorated career providing the perfect backdrop to open negotiations with an innocent world…a planet that would soon be drawing the attention of the destructive Morgon enemy. Unbeknown to him, the Morgons had followed the Trevakians through space, arriving in orbit above human earth shortly after initial communication was made. Upon first contact, the Admiral elected to remain on the ground with his media officer to negotiate with the humans.
With earth now under direct attack, Karladen is struggling with world leaders to gain a complete picture of events as they unfold.
Vice Admiral Chergui
A Trevakian Battleship commander with the Seventh Fleet, his ship and escorts were diverted on their way to relieve Zaxon B to attend a distress beacon placed on earth at Admiral Karladen’s order. Chergui is now on earth after the destruction of his ship, with at least two immense Morgon Warship vessels now controlling Earth’s upper orbit and atmosphere.
Dryden
Aboard the Trevakian Skorpion Class Battle Cruiser when it landed on earth, Dryden was placed in charge of showing the first few earth visitors around the vessel for public relation reasons. Innocently causing the misunderstandings with uniforms, he is still aboard the ship currently cloaked in Osterley Park in West London.
The Trevakian is currently assisting with the many severely wounded that have ventured for safety through the transporter connected to the space station above Zaxon B, stranded on earth due to military action.
Sky Commander (First Officer) Petaski
Placed in charge of the Trevakian Skorpion Class Battle Cruiser after the departure of Admiral Karladen to negotiate with the UK Government and world leaders, the young officer has played host to a variety of government ministers and forces personnel. Moving the vessel to Osterley Park for safety, Petaski has remained in contact with Admiral Karladen covertly and without human knowledge, attempting to maintain a public relations front with the visiting dignitaries.
The ship has provided a valuable link, enabling wounded soldiers from Zaxon B to be treated on board and then transferred to local hospitals when fate permitted the portal to open. Sending the last of earth’s offered troops through, the portal is now closed to avoid detection from the Morgon Warships above.
First Contact: Earth’s surviving Civilians and Military Personnel
Upper Death Valley (USA): Having escaped from Los Angeles, Brad Zeiss, a young dark toned and muscular lifeguard has, by a chance meeting, joined with Emily Marshall and her two children and another older lady, Katherine. The group fleeing inland from the destroyed western seaboard in a green station wagon and on a motorbike.
With law and order beginning to disintegrate, the group are currently in a dust storm, hearing gunshots on the road ahead. Behind them, the devastation along the coast has wiped millions of lives from the map and large swathes of territory, the destruction engulfing most of American western defensive forces.
Circa Boston (USA): US Marine Private First Class Rodrigues has escaped the clutches and certain death of the invading Morgon shock troops, his squad sent by helicopter to investigate the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford as it appeared on the horizon, sailing towards the city. Ambushed on board, most of Rodrigues’s fellow soldiers were slaughtered in close combat and by the Morgon acid rifles.
Pushed over the side by one of his fellow soldiers, the two are now swimming towards the land outcrops to the south as the massive battered carrier continues at full speed towards the harbour, the hold full of Morgon soldiers. At twenty seven and with six years’ experience in the US marines, Rodrigues will need to rely on his extensive military experience to survive.
New York City (USA): NYPD Officer Davis Michaels is fleeing northwards from Manhattan with his partner and several escaping soldiers. As a desperate air battle fills the skies above New York, the Morgons have landed in several locations, capturing Brooklyn and advancing into Manhattan and Queens in strength. Rumours of similar landings on Staten Island and Middleton are rife, with many panicking civilians struggling to escape the embattled and burning city.
Unbeknown to the populace, the Morgons are now in the sewer system and are spreading across under the city, slaughtering as they proceed. The National Guard is fighting in the south of the city and military units are being rushed into the area, few people using the waterways through terror.
Davis is keen to escape towards Newark utilising tunnels or bridges rather than the Hudson
