On the war-torn planets of tomorrow, mankind's greatest battle is about to begin. With its frontier colonies devastated by a growing insurrection, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armored Infantry (nicknamed Section 8™) to repel the coming onslaught. The nickname refers to an old United States military regulation where a soldier would be dismissed from service through being mentally unfit for duty.

The near-suicidal missions that this division volunteers for brands them as insane by other military units. Section 8 deploys by "burning in" from their orbital drop ships tens of thousands of feet above the battlefield, utilizing the most advanced arsenal of military hardware.
