Exosquad

After Exosquad comes to the rescue of a freighter being attacked by Tethysian Pirates, the General Assembly commissions Exosquad to eliminate the Tethysian Pirate menace once and for all. It’s the year 2119 and the Danube, a freighter en route to Earth, is attacked by Simbacca and his band of Tethysian pirates. The Exosquad is called in to rescue the crew, but J.T. and the gang arrive too late; the crew is dead. Back on Earth, the General Assembly decides to send Exosquad into battle against the Tethysian pirates, terminating the Tethysian menace once and for all.

We open to find our heroes where we left off, battling Tethysian Pirates. The pirates are badly hurt and Simbacca retreats to Tethys just before the Exofleet can beat him completely. In the meantime, we are introduced to Sean Napier, a former Exotrooper who was kicked out of the service for attitude problems. He is now a Chicago cop. While on crowd control duty at a speech given by Phaeton, a sniper takes aim, and Sean spins into action, neutralizing the sniper but getting shot in the process. When Phaeton and the Mayor come to thank Sean for his help, he gives Phaeton a large dose of attitude. The Mayor is furious and tells him that he is off the force. Back in the vicinity of Saturn, the Exosquad is about to join the Pirates in another battle.

Exosquad continues its battle with Tethysian pirates, until it gets word that Neosapiens have attacked the Homeworlds. The Resolute has chased the pirates to the icy moon of Saturn Enceladus. J.T. and the team drop down to the surface to lend support to Jump-Troopers who are leading the assault. The attack goes well as the Resolute pounds the surface with blaster fire. The Resolute and the rest of the force lower their orbit to finish off the Pirates unwittingly; this leads Exosquad straight into a trap.

Phaeton and his forces are in near total control of the Homeworlds; Sean tries to escape the attack on Chicago; and Marcus is in command of Exosquad because Admiral Winfield has been injured. Marcus, overwhelmed by his new responsibilities, orders the fleet to proceed to Earth at full speed. J.T. objects to this order as it will break the fleet in two (the slower ships will not be able to keep up) and thus reduce their firepower when they face the Neosapiens. Marcus explodes at the challenge and has J.T. arrested and charged with mutiny.

J.T. escapes from imprisonment, and with Exosquad, he joins forces with Sean and the Resistance squad to battle Phaeton. The Exosquad fights a losing battle against the Neosapien forces. Marcus' strategy has proven wrong and the lack of firepower is causing Exosquad to be outgunned. With the help of his team, J. T. is sprung from the guards. They scramble for their E-frames and blast off to fight the Neosapiens.

J.T. and Exosquad help Sean and the Resistance team dismantle Phaeton's GRAF shield, but run into some problems with Neosapiens along the way. The Neosapiens have put a new defense shield into place that Exosquad must remove. It is called the GRAF shield, a gravity control device capable of crushing attacking ships before they reach the earth. J.T. and part of his team drop down to Earth to take out the device with the help of the Resistance. As usual, Sean and his team give J.T., and especially Marsala, a very hard time.
