    Background:

    The Ares Enterprises heavy assault infantry make up most of the rank and file of the Ares Security, and they are the cannon fodder of the military conglomerate. Within the Ares Security Forces that comprise over 7 billion people, the heavy assault divisions make up for 5 billion out of the total. Whenever there is a conflict, or a "planetary government restructuring" in corporate terms, these are the troops that are sent in to deal with the issue.

    While they are not the most sophisticated and well- equipped of the military forces in service in the 26th century, the heavy assault divisions can overrun most other corporate forces by mass alone. The Ares idea of choosing high quantity over high quality has paid off, as more colonies submit to the Ares Enterprises invasions every year.

    The flipside of the enormously successful strategy is the high death toll that falls on the massed ranks of Heavy assault divisions, with 5-15% per mission. Even with orbital drops claiming most of the troops, a large amount of troops are exhausted due to the usage of combat stimulants used to improve the conscripts physique and mental state before entering service or battle, making older combat veterans a rare sight. However, this seems to be of little interest to the Ares corporate leaders as it is still inside the range of "acceptable losses". What's more, the rapidly expanding corporation has a nearly inexhaustible source of new recruits from which to form new divisions, with over 55 billion people living in Ares-controlled space.

    Finally got the free sketch done for Qwertydesign, here it is. Actually it's not really a sketch, I got a bit carried away and made this kind of info sheet thing. I haven't tried one of these before, so the format and style are probably pretty crappy... but anyway, enjoy.

    And the comic... well, it's coming along, although with studies, a bit of work and general exhaustion slowing down the progress. I'm getting there though, and a new batch of pages should be coming within either some days or some weeks, depending on the previously mentioned things.

    "A thousand times that I've done this- packing my gear into one of these metal coffins and hope we make it through the day safe and sound. We always do, though it still makes my skin crawl- the vacuum fo space..." - Captain Anne Rodriguez of the Space Laser Corps .

    A depiction of a brave combat pilot of the Space Laser Corps, cpt. Anne Rodriguez once again in the thick of it. Piloting an old and worn out but reliable mk. III combat shuttle she can be sure of success since she knows the ship inside out, having fixed and tuned nearly everything during countless hours of zero-G maintenance work. If all else fails she'll still have her trusty space-AK with her, strapped to the side of the ejection seat...

    With this piece I really wanted to have an old 60's or 70's military tech vibe to it. Lots of levers, knobs, bulky screens, dials and buttons, coated in myriad wires and held together with nuts, bolts and tape. I think it worked out pretty well! This was also one of the pics I've submitted here previously that I said I'd color one day and I still have about a dozen such waiting in the line but at least this one is done.

    Enjoy!
