In the past eleven years of The Second Bug War, the Mobile Infantry has improved their weapons and tactics. However, as they adapt, so do the Bugs, and many new Arachnid variants have developed. The United Citizen Federation now finds itself engaged in trench warfare on the frontier planets. The Federation puts a positive spin on this in the media while using its judicial and military authority to suppress peace protesters and religious fanatics as seditionists.Colonel John Rico Casper Van Dien is stationed on the agrarian planet Roku San when the popular Sky Marshal Omar Anoke Stephen Hogan pays a visit. Offduty, Ricos old friend General Dix Hauser Boris Kodjoe gets into a bar fight with farmers protesting against the war. During the fight, Rico stops Dix from shooting one of the farmers. Dix tries to have Rico arrested, but the base defences suddenly fail due to an alien attack. Rico knocks Dix out and leaves to help fight the Arachnids. When Roku San falls, Rico is blamed by the Federal Media and set for execution for insubordination and striking a superior officer. However Dix has Ricos execution stopped and covered up so that Rico can lead a rescue mission. ........
