The Tribes Strike Back
Prolog *note: This is very long*
From the Star Siege Tribes 2 universe.
Ok I’m writing a Fan-Fic on Tribes 2. This is the Prolog; it will give you info. On how this war (between the Tribes and BioDerm) started and what the weapons and vehicles are. This is going to be 3 part story so dont rate until I finish.
Information taken from the Tribes 2 Manual
It is the 40th Century. On the Frontier of Human space, hardy neo-barbarian tribes compete for possession of new worlds. Tribal warriors enter combat in powered armor, depending on skill and bravery to win glory.
But now the BioDerm Hordes are invading tribal space. Though the tribe’s boast of being the finest warrior’s humanity has ever produced, they face a genetically modified race that has literally bred itself for battle.
I’m adding in “Floating bases” as well. Most floating bases are half a mile wide and 1 mile high. The “StormHammer” in the story is the biggest for the Tribes. It’s a mile and a half wide and two miles high.
