We've done it. Earth is saved from the alien menace... For now.

Survivors of the Great Invasion:

Commander Lord Basse "LB" (infantry): Can always be relied on, practically never panics. Great at capturing aliens alive. Like a father to his men.

Colonel Gunkanchud "Chud" (assault): Kicks ass, takes names, and has to spend half a month in the infirmary after every other mission. Fortunately, adaptive bone marrow reduces this problem considerably.

Colonel John the Late "JtL" (medic): Used to panic a lot, but developed an iron will to keep his team alive. Keeps pulling crazy stunts to do so.

Major Mithril Knight "Mithril" (engineer): Not very strong-willed, but fast and sturdy. Geared towards offensive grenading.

Captain Lurkur "GrumpyDwarf" (infantry): Gene-modded with hyperreactive eyes. Practically guaranteed to hit once per turn.

Captain Reganknight "Regan" (rocketeer): Excellent aim, reliable rocketing. Unfortunately gets hit a lot.

Lieutenant Thekingof555 "King" (sniper): Good aim and survivability, poor morale. Gene-modded with extra depth perception and superjump legs.

Lieutenant Chocolate Jesus "ChocoJeebus" (gunner): Master of battlefield control. Can fire up to three times per turn and can suppress multiple targets at once.

Lieutenant Dexter Fei "Erskine" (scout): Gene-modding have made him practically immortal. Excellent at recon.

Master sergeant Lord Sipia "Sippycup" (goliath MEC): Myself. I have improved overwatch aim, and will automatically go into overwatch if I fire without moving. Usually equipped with a flamethrower.

Master sergeant Moff "McPonylover" (gunner): Extraordinarily capable with his machine gun. Gene-modded with overloaded adrenaline glands. Can use MLPfray to reduce threats. Defeated a superpowered sectopod on his own.

Master sergeant CarolKarine "Carol" (engineer): Mainly plays a supportive role, destroying enemy cover while reinforcing ours. Can remove panic from teammates.

Master sergeant Watson "Watters" (assault): Very high critical hit chance.

Master sergeant Leif Ericson "Lief" (guardian MEC): Equipped with four uses of the Restorative Mist unit to heal himself and those around him. Furthermore automatically heals himself slightly every turn. Basically a damage sponge carrying a huge cannon.

Master sergeant Possidon "Slayer" (pathfinder MEC): scouts the battlefield and takes out high-priority targets.

Master sergeant Lildbehr (rocketeer): Fantastic aim (or luck) for a rocketeer. Knows MLPfray.

Master sergeant Aro "The Arocrat" (shogun MEC): Specialized in destroying cover and mechanized opponents.

Gunnery sergeant Dead_End "D_E" (archer MEC): can fire grenades across extreme distances.

Gunnery sergeant Cheap Plastic Rosary "CPR" (engineer): Support grenadier, can capture aliens and convert enemy drones.

Gunnery sergeant Aleph (scout): A second heart, adaptive bone marrow, and iron skin make him very sturdy for a soldier his rank.

Tech sergeant Grayson "ET" (assault): Inexperienced, but capable. Heavily gene-modded.

MIA, presumed dead:

Master sergeant Popeychops "Popey" (infantry): Last seen at the end of Operation Avenger. It is assumed that he sacrificed himself to save Earth from the collapsing Temple Ship. Presumably, he died in the blast, but no trace of him was ever recovered- which is not surprising, as he was at the center of the explosion. Still...
