This reveals that the Bugs are not native to Pluto. They track it to the planet Hydora, which orbits a star in the Constellation Virgo and encounter a Brain Bug, an intelligent Bug that controls the other castes so they won't go insane and destroy each other. The Bugs are planning to take control of the entire universe and won't stop until the human race is extinct. </p><p>SICON attempts to set up a base on the planet Tophet, inhabited by a species nicknamed Skinnies. The Skinnies, however, have been enslaved by the Bugs to mine Xylon, a precious mineral used for Transport Bugs. The Mobile Infantry are able to destroy the Control Bugs overseeing the Skinnies and free Tophet, but the victory costs them their comrade Carl Jenkins, who has been put into a state of mental trauma.

"Johnny" Rico</a> (voiced by <a href="/wiki/Rino_Romano" title="Rino Romano">Rino Romano</a>) – The main focus of the series, Rico is a good soldier but a distrustful of technology and overreliant on his instincts. He is best friends with Carl Jenkins and Dizzy Flores, and carries a torch for Carmen Ibanez for most of the series but eventually admits he is in love with Dizzy and they eventually become a couple. Rico is the last of the Roughnecks to accept T'Phai. He is promoted first to Corporal during the Zephyr Campaign, then to Sergeant in the Klendathu Campaign as a result of Brutto's paralysis, and finally to Lieutenant during the Homefront Campaign, carrying on Razak's legacy.</li> <li>Private Isabelle "Dizzy" Flores (voiced by <a href="/wiki/E._G._Daily" title="E. G. Daily">Elizabeth Daily</a>) – An old friend of Rico's from high school, Dizzy has a crush on him which is unrequited for most of the series. She figures they will sort out their relationship problems after their tour of duty. She had a relationship with Goss in an attempt to make Rico jealous which ended in the Tesca Campaign, but started an affair with Zander Barcalow for the rest of the Tesca Campaign and the entire Zephyr Campaign. This shattered as Barcalow became a Bug/Human hybrid during the Klendathu Campaign. She eventually redeems Barcalow in the Klendathu Campaign. In the Homefront campaign, Rico eventually admits to being in love with her, but Dizzy rejects him, revealing that she believes herself to be a "jinx" and that any relationship would bring about Rico's death. And, to keep him at a distance, she suggest that SICON command would find their behavior "wholly inappropriate" because of their respective ranks, hinting at the threat of <a href="/wiki/Fraternization" title="Fraternization">fraternization</a> issues that would arise if she made them aware of the situation. However, despite this, Dizzy still harbors feelings for Rico and eventually they do become a couple. Dizzy is <a href="/wiki/Claustrophobia" title="Claustrophobia">claustrophobic</a>, but lied about it to be accepted into the Mobile Infantry; her phobia was later remedied by Jenkins, who used his psychic powers to give her something akin to a very strong <a href="/wiki/Hypnosis" title="Hypnosis">post-hypnotic suggestion</a>.</li> <li>Lieutenant Jean Razak (voiced by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Jamie_Hanes&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Jamie Hanes (page does not exist)">Jamie Hanes</a>) – The leader of the Roughnecks, Razak is a seasoned veteran who has been decorated ten times for meritorious service. He is described as having "broken the mold" of trooper officer behavior. Razak's left arm is a mechanical <a href="/wiki/Prosthesis" title="Prosthesis">prosthetic</a>, the legacy of his first command where the entire squad was ambushed and only he survived. He later dies a heroic death to save Rico in the Homefront Campaign.</li> <li>Sergeant Francis Brutto (voiced by <a href="/wiki/David_DeLuise" title="David DeLuise">David DeLuise</a>) – A somewhat ruthless taskmaster, Brutto is very outspoken and aggressive. Originally something of an antagonist for the rest of the squad, he eventually becomes easier to get along with during the Hydora Campaign. His son, Max, is 17 and an All-Star Fullback. Brutto is crippled before the Klendathu Campaign, and afterwards his son (who apparently joined the Mobile Infantry in the aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/Pluto" title="Pluto">Pluto</a> Campaign) is assigned to the Roughnecks. Like all the Roughnecks, Brutto originally was distrustful of T'Phai, but eventually became one of his best friends, prompting Higgins to remark, "Are those two actually bonding?" This bond extends to the point that when his son joins the Roughnecks he wants T'Phai to look out for his son.</li> <li>Corporal Richard "Doc" LeCroix (voiced by <a href="/wiki/James_Horan_(actor)" title="James Horan (actor)">James Horan</a>) – The team's medical officer, Doc is laid-back and patient. He and Goss act as the comic relief of the show at times, playing off each other's jokes amidst a folly of Bug drones. Doc is the assigned pilot for the "Duck" cargo Marauder <a href="/wiki/Exoskeleton" title="Exoskeleton">exoskeleton</a>.</li> <li>Corporal Jeff "Goss" Gossard (voiced by <a href="/wiki/Bill_Fagerbakke" title="Bill Fagerbakke">Bill Fagerbakke</a>) – An ambitious Roughneck who wants a distinguished career. The elder of two siblings, Goss is a technological master, adept with any form of machinery. He invented the "TALC Box," which was intended to translate Bug shrieking into human language, but used to translate for Skinnies instead. Goss is the assigned pilot for the Long-Range aka "King Kong" Marauder. He had a short relationship with Dizzy following the Pluto Campaign, but broke up with her because he knows that Dizzy still loves Rico.</li> <li>Lieutenant/Ensign Carmen Ibanez (voiced by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Tish_Hicks&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Tish Hicks (page does not exist)">Tish Hicks</a>) – A pilot in the SICON fleet. Rico joined the military just because Carmen said that she wanted to be a pilot and Rico blindly attempts to follow her. Carmen is smart, calm and rarely lets her emotions get in the way of her tasks. Whenever a drop ship she's piloting crash-lands, she helps the Roughnecks carry out their missions. While reminiscing about the past, Carmen admits that she had a big crush on Rico during the sixth grade, but didn't tell him. It is not clear if she feels the same way about Rico after Dizzy tells Carmen that she's the reason Rico enlisted. She is apparently demoted to Ensign either for crashing the ship or for insubordination in the first episode of the Klendathu Campaign.</li> <li>Lieutenant/Major Zander Barcalow (voiced by <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Guest" title="Nicholas Guest">Nicholas Guest</a>) – A former <a href="/wiki/American_football" title="American football">football</a> player in high school, Barcalow joined the SICON fleet as a pilot and was ranked Major at the start of the Pluto Campaign. He started off as Carmen's flight instructor in a drop ship. Other than transporting troops, Barcalow occasionally flies fighters to provide air support. His personality is pompous and arrogant, which may have led to his constant interchange between Major and Lieutenant ranks. During the Tesca Campaign, Barcalow started a relationship with Dizzy Flores, which lasted until the end of the Zephyr Campaign, when he was captured by the Bugs and became infected with an unknown virus, which gave him a <a href="/wiki/Jekyll_and_Hyde" class="mw-redirect" title="Jekyll and Hyde">Jekyll and Hyde</a> complex. Things went worse during the Klendathu Campaign when Barcalow mutated into a Bug and nearly had the Valley Forge crash on Klendathu. He later died a noble death saving the Roughnecks after Dizzy reminded him "to play on her team."</li> <li>Special Operations Tactician Carl Jenkins (voiced by <a href="/wiki/Rider_Strong" title="Rider Strong">Rider Strong</a>) – A <a href="/wiki/Psychic" title="Psychic">psychic</a> friend of Rico's and Dizzy's from high school, the other Roughnecks avoid Jenkins because his <a href="/wiki/Telepathy" title="Telepathy">telepathic</a> powers worry them. He destroys the Hydoran Brain Bug with a Mind-Bomb but suffers mental trauma in the process. Jenkins grows weaker and his powers become less stable during the Tophet Campaign, when T'Phai's Control Bug breaks loose and it attempts to attach to Jenkins. He destroys it with a <a href="/wiki/Telekinesis" title="Telekinesis">telekinetic</a> blast, but falls into a coma and is spirited away by <a href="/wiki/Military_intelligence" title="Military intelligence">military intelligence</a>. Jenkins returns later on in the series, the mental experimentation performed on him by Military intelligence neurosurgeons has increased his powers but made him cold and harsh. What was left of his old self is rekindled when Rico saved him during the Klendathu Campaign.</li> <li>Private Robert "Paperboy" Higgins (voiced by <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Polinsky" title="Alexander Polinsky">Alexander Polinsky</a>) – A FedNet reporter assigned to the Roughnecks, Higgins is something of the trademark outsider. His inexperience and degree of military incompetence makes him something of a liability on occasion. Higgins usually shoots with a camera instead of a gun. He is able to stay in the squad only because Rico gave him training. Higgins is the narrator for the series.</li> <li>Private "Colonel" T'Phai (voiced by <a href="/wiki/Steve_Staley" title="Steve Staley">Steve Staley</a>) – The former military leader of the Skinnies, T'Phai was an enemy for most of the Tophet Campaign under the influence of a Control Bug. He was indirectly responsible for Jenkins' extended medical leave, which didn't help when he was assigned to the Roughnecks during the Tesca Campaign. Not accepted initially, T'Phai receives the acceptance of all Roughnecks but Rico at the end of the first episode, not receiving Rico's approval until the end of the second episode. His rank is Private within the Mobile Infantry, but he is still referred to as Colonel (his Skinnie rank) by the Roughnecks. After enlisting with SICON, T'Phai studied human languages so he won't require a Talk Box. T'Phai is considered a father figure since he had a wife, who was also in the military, and two children. He believes in fighting a war so that his children would not have to share his fate.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="SICON_(SICO)"><span id="SICON_.28SICO.29"></span>SICON (SICO)</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roughnecks:_Starship_Troopers_Chronicles&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: SICON (SICO)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Commander Marlow (voiced by Thomas Wagner) – Commanding officer of the Valley Forge, the starship to which Alpha Squad is initially assigned.

They attack with two spiked razor limbs and their razor-edged mandibles which can bite a person in half if they get close enough. Warrior Bugs are relatively weak against standard-issue weaponry, but they make up for this with large numbers. These Bugs have also proven to be able to climb up walls and dig underground. They also do not need oxygen to survive as they have been seen on the outside of transport bugs while they were flying through space.</li> <li>Sentry Bugs – Bugs the size of dogs. they resemble fleas and can crawl up and down walls. The Sentry Bugs are early warning systems and play other support roles, usually found in or near nests. They have very little offensive capability but they have sharp teeth that can bite through steel cable and inflict nasty wounds.</li> <li>Tanker Bugs – These are like tanks. They are the size of houses and breathe fire as their main offensive weapon. Although they don't move quickly, their ability to tunnel underground allows them to pop up unexpectedly in the middle of a battle. Their armored exoskeleton makes them impervious to everything except high explosives such as mini-nukes and plasma rockets.</li> <li>Plasma Bugs – The Bug artillery, they are bigger than the Tanker Bugs, and have the rather nasty ability to fire huge, volatile globs of <a href="/wiki/Plasma_(physics)" title="Plasma (physics)">plasma</a> from their rear ends at airborne or distant targets. One of the roughneck missions was to attempt to capture a baby one alive so researchers could find out how this plasma is generated.</li> <li>Hoppers – Acting as air support, they are about the size of Warrior Bugs and resemble mosquitoes with razor wings. They can bring down a light aircraft by grappling onto it, but their primary mode of attack is to simply ram their targets at high speed. Impervious to light weapons, they are vulnerable to explosive shells and "lizard lines." Hoppers are attracted to <a href="/wiki/Laser" title="Laser">laser</a> emissions like mosquitoes to a <a href="/wiki/Bug_zapper" title="Bug zapper">bug zapper</a>.</li> <li>Transport Bugs - Creatures used for interstellar transport, they are fueled by water and can make planetary landings. The first one spotted was delivering eggs to Pluto, disproving the idea that the Bugs are native to the solar system.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Introduced_in_the_Hydora_campaign">Introduced in the Hydora campaign</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Roughnecks:_Starship_Troopers_Chronicles&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Introduced in the Hydora campaign"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Kamikaze Ripplers – Flying Bugs that are similar to Hoppers except they can also shoot spikes from their mouths and can swim underwater. Later in the campaign the spikes exude a corrosive venom which burns flesh and destroys equipment.</li> <li>"Momma" Rippler – A large Bug seen guarding a nest of Rippler eggs and thought to be their source.</li> <li>Water Tigers – About the same size as warriors but much fatter, this pale species can swim quickly in water and is rarely seen on land. They have a venom that causes paralysis, and they use it to capture their prey alive to store in their larder.</li> <li>Brain Bugs – Moving telepathic nodes, these are the generals of the bug army, coordinating all Bug activity through telepathic mind control. They are large and almost too fat to move by themselves. Brain Bugs have slight offensive capabilities by using a psychic attack to stun humans. They have a slit-like mouth with a spike/sucker organ that extends from the mouth to pierce an enemy's skull and extract its brain to add the gained information to the <a href="/wiki/Group_mind_(science_fiction)" title="Group mind (science fiction)">hive mind</a> collective.</li> <li>Chariot Bugs a.k.a.

They seize control of a host by attaching themselves to the spinal cord, becoming a telepathic conduit for Brain Bugs. The range of their telepathic abilities has never been tested in the field. While having very little offensive capability on their own, they are very agile and difficult to hit with weapons.

Smaller specimens are the size of Warrior Bugs and join them as shock troops. Larger ones capture enemies for "interrogation" by Brain Bugs or as DNA samples for Nurser Bugs.</li> <li>Nurser Bugs – Help care for Bug eggs until they hatch. They create new varieties of Bug by injecting DNA extracted from other species into Bug embryos. With no fighting capability, they are only seen in nests where eggs are being incubated.</li> <li>Tanker Worms – Used to dig small tunnels for Control Bugs.

They are equipped with guns at the cockpit.</li> <li>Marauder – A <a href="/wiki/Mecha" title="Mecha">mecha</a>-like exoskeleton that stands 10 ft. tall and walks faster than a human. Marauders are piloted by a single soldier and offer more firepower and augmented physical strength, at the cost of a limited power supply. There are two kinds, the "Duck" and the "Ape."</li> <li>Morita Smart Rifle – The standard issue weapon for all SICON troopers. Capable of fully automatic or single-round fire.</li> <li>Shock Stick – A staff weapon capable of delivering a powerful, usually non-lethal electric shock. Many troopers carry shock sticks as a backup weapon for their rifles.</li> <li>Fighter – A small, short-ranged craft armed with missiles and machine guns used primarily for air-to-air combat to provide cover for ground troops. Manned by one or two people. Capable of operating in space or planetary atmosphere.</li> <li>Bomber – Similar to the fighter, but with explosive payloads instead of weapons. Used to destroy large groups of ground-based enemies or enemy strongholds.</li> <li>Troop Transport – A six-wheeled transport used by troopers.</li> <li>Flatbed – This is only shown on Pluto.
