Under the fascist regime of the Terran Federation, might is right. Thanks to a policy of brainwashing, sedation and chemically altered rations, the Federation’s civilian population is kept in a constant zombie-like state to maintain peace and order throughout Federation Space. Not that it always works, mind you - and that’s where the military comes in.

In service to the Terran Federation, the cybernetically enhanced Mutoids made up the backbone of the Terran Federation’s military forces, especially in the support and crew fields. Unlike most military forces of the Federation, the mostly female Mutoids were unusually competent at repetitive, often complicated tasks. This is in part thanks to the cybernetic transformation that created the Mutoids in the first place, the first step being to have their minds and personalities completely wiped from existence, leaving in their place a cold and analytical mind, incapable of acting outside of their orders.

So pull up your collars, chew on some garlic and let's meet the Mutoids!
