Starship Troopers: Extermination News

Welcome to the elite ranks of the Special Operations Unit. General Rico has chosen you for this mission, recognizing your skill and dedication. Only the top soldiers make it here, and now, you stand among them.

The Federation has released these critical dossiers to help familiarize yourself with the team you’ll be working with. Each member has been selected for their unmatched expertise.

Trust and teamwork will be your greatest assets, and who better to place your trust in than with the S.O.G. Medic.


Olivia Jensen was born into a family of scientists on the planet Arkiallia, a thriving hub of research and innovation within the Federation. From a young age, she displayed a remarkable aptitude for scientific inquiry, often spending hours in her parents' laboratory tinkering with gadgets and conducting experiments.


Her idyllic childhood, however, was shattered when Arkiallia came under a devastating Bug attack while she was away undergoing intensive training at the Federation Fleet Academy. The assault not only claimed the lives of her family and destroyed her home but also left Jensen with a profound sense of loss and survivor's guilt. The traumatic event became a turning point in her life, propelling her to dedicate herself fully to the fight against the Bug menace.

Driven by a desire to blend her scientific knowledge with practical combat experience, Jensen made the bold decision to transfer to the Mobile Infantry. Her goal was twofold: to contribute directly to the frontline efforts against the Bugs and to bring a rigorous scientific approach to the battlefield. Her colleagues initially viewed her transfer skeptically, unsure of how an egghead would fare in the midst of brutal warfare.

Despite initial doubts, Jensen quickly proved her worth. Her analytical mind and innovative thinking turned out to be invaluable assets during numerous missions, where she consistently found ways to exploit Bug weaknesses and devise new strategies for combat. Her ability to see every Bug encounter as an opportunity for scientific discovery earned her respect among her peers, even if her cautious demeanor and nervous energy occasionally set her apart from more gung-ho troopers.

In the field, Jensen is known for her meticulous planning and methodical approach to problem-solving. She is constantly experimenting with new technologies and tactics, seeking to push the boundaries of what is known about Bug physiology and behavior. Her ultimate ambition is not only to defeat the Bugs but also to unravel their mysteries and advance human understanding of extraterrestrial life forms. Off-duty, Jensen can often be found in makeshift laboratories within Mobile Infantry bases, surrounded by data pads and prototype devices. Despite her intense focus on her work, she remains haunted by memories of Arkiallia and the loved ones she lost, driving her relentless pursuit of scientific progress and the hope of preventing similar tragedies in the future.

The Federation demands perfection and with this mission, we cannot afford any mistakes with your lives on the line.

Take time to get to know your backup out in the field. Meet your S.O.G. Ranger, trooper.


Scorch, whose real name is Taral Ashcroft, was born into a military family on Mars. Raised in an environment where discipline and tactical prowess were valued above all else, she learned from an early age that competence and strict adherence to regulations were non-negotiable.


Her childhood, however, was marked by a traumatic incident that shaped her aversion to fire. At the age of seven, while playing with matches in the barracks where her family was stationed, she accidentally caused a fire to break out. Taral managed to escape, but the blaze claimed the lives of several soldiers, including close friends of her parents. Since that day, the mere sight or thought of flames has triggered intense anxiety and visceral memories, leading her to avoid any situation involving fire whenever possible.

Despite this fear, Tara was determined to follow in her family's footsteps and joined the Federation’s vaulted Mobile Infantry as soon as she came of age. While her superiors took note of her unwavering commitment to duty and her sharp intellect, she soon earned the nickname "Scorch" among her peers due to her uncharacteristic jumpiness around incendiary weapons, a name she embraced with mixed feelings.

During her training, Scorch excelled in nearly every aspect of combat, mastering a wide array of weapons and tactics. However, she encountered a significant obstacle when it came to the flamethrower, a weapon that triggered her deepest anxieties. Despite repeated attempts to overcome her fear, she could not bring herself to complete the certification, a rare failure that stung her pride and reinforced her determination to prove herself in other ways.

Now a seasoned officer in the Mobile Infantry, Scorch serves as a relentless perfectionist, always striving to outperform her peers and uphold the strict standards she imposes on herself. Her meticulous planning and tactical acumen have earned her respect, even as her aloof demeanor and occasional sharp retorts alienate some members of her unit. Behind her facade of confidence and control, however, lies a deeply guarded vulnerability—a fear of fire that she has yet to fully confront.

For troopers eager to experience what the Special Operation Group has to offer, it’s essential to become acquainted with those you’ll be fighting alongside. This is why the Federation created these dossiers to be declassified to any trooper General Rico deems worthy for S.O.G. consideration.

Introducing your master of explosives and S.O.G. Demolisher:



Jackson Callahan, better known to his friends as “Moose,” was born and raised on the rugged Terran colony of New Wellington. From a young age, he displayed a natural athleticism and an unrivaled enthusiasm for physical challenges and combat training. His nickname "Moose" stuck early on, owing both to his imposing stature and his tendency to charge headfirst into any situation.


Growing up in New Wellington, a frontier world plagued by occasional skirmishes with hostile wildlife and criminal elements, Moose learned the importance of strength and bravery in defending oneself and others. His upbringing instilled in him a deep sense of duty and a fierce loyalty to his fellow colonists, traits that would later define his career in the Federation's Mobile Infantry.

Joining the Federation military at the earliest opportunity, Moose quickly carved out a reputation as a fearless and dependable soldier. His approach to combat was straightforward — meet force with greater force, relying on his physical prowess and sheer determination rather than intricate planning or strategic finesse. While not the sharpest tactician, Moose made up for it with his unshakable confidence and willingness to charge into the fray to protect his comrades.

Throughout his career, Moose has served on numerous fronts against the relentless Arachnid menace that threatens Federation space. His combat record is dotted with daring rescues, last-minute saves, and feats of heroism that have earned him both admiration and exasperation from his fellow troopers. His belief in his own invincibility is often tested but never shattered, fueling his recklessness in the face of overwhelming odds.

Despite his rough-and-tumble exterior and occasional clashes with authority figures due to his impulsive nature, Moose is fiercely loyal to his squadmates and deeply cares about their well-being. He sees himself not just as a soldier, but as the bulwark of his team, willing to lay down his life without hesitation to ensure their safety.

Off-duty, Moose enjoys physical training, competitive sports, and embellished tales of his own exploits over drinks with his comrades. Beneath his bravado lies a genuine warmth and camaraderie that endears him to those who see past the bluster. Deep down, Moose dreams of a future where he can continue to fight for a cause greater than himself, forever seeking the next adrenaline rush that comes with defending humanity from the Bug!

Listen up, Troopers message incoming from the United Citizen Federation!

Offworld has landed in Cologne, Germany for Gamescom ahead of the Starship Troopers: Extermination launch on console for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S this coming October 11th, 2024. As part of this event, troopers were able to get a special inside look showcasing the next Arachnid foe of the Tanker Bug, our new frosty locale Boreas, and also a first look at General Rico’s Special Operations Group (S.O.G.).


The Tanker Bug is a new enemy variant that is as deadly as it is massive, appearing just as it did in the 1997 film and necessitating careful strategy and teamwork to take it down. This ferocious and imposing Bug can burst through the ground without warning during matches, challenging players with its unpredictable nature and devastating incendiary stream. Don’t expect to bring down the Tanker Bug with bullets from afar; players should look to inspiration from the daring tactics of General Rico himself to exploit its weak points to defeat it.

Boreas, meanwhile, is a new ice planet, recently infested by the arrival of a Bug meteor. Set to debut alongside the console launch, this chilling environment presents a new battleground where players will face Bug variants adapted to the frigid environment in the Frost Drone and Frost Warrior.


Casper Van Dien reprises his role as General Johnny Rico. Code-named Special Operations Group (S.O.G.), this new solo play mode sees the player undertake a multitude of missions dispatched by the General himself as he brings together the best of the best from Spec Ops divisions within the UCF for top-secret assignments. Varying in scope and objectives, these missions are designed to prepare soldiers for the more challenging 16-person multiplayer missions; additional missions will be added in subsequent content updates beyond the October 11th launch.


If you missed out on the Gamescom you can catch up on our 1.0 release trailer and our Dev Diaries below!
