RIM PATROL UNIT DROPCLOTH: "23 and 87 the first robots known to go awol, they left their corp during a clean up job on a Martian incursion off the coast of New Zealand. They were later found dug in on the coast of Taiwan, how they got there and why is still not known! How they could autonomously leave their surrounds and make way to another country is of great interest to the Earth Coalition, some believe their programming has self evolved or at the least new levels of self awareness have surfaced as part of unknown programming? The WAR EVOLVES. Now part of the Shitty 9 corp!"

MDL HAROLD / MARINER 4TH DIVISION: "The Sole surviving robot member of the Noachis Defence League which saw the EARTH DEFENCE FORCE drop 100 Large Martin from the IRON PANDA division on the city of Noachis. The battle for Noachis was a turning for MARS where all ongoing negotiations were cancelled. And the MARS ALONE edict was passed that saw MARS annex it self completely from Earth and forge a independent future. This of course was not seen favourably by the EDF! The war continues!"
