Hey Troopers,
Welcome to the first Quarterly Development Update for 2026. We kicked off the year with a fantastic January with the arrival of a mutated Bombardier variant, new weapon mods and a bunch of other very cool Quality-of-Life features.
We are just getting started as we have some major additions coming to the game this year and we are hard at work on the first huge addition coming in Update 1.10 at the end of March 2026.
Marauder Program
The Marauder Program makes its debut in Starship Troopers: Extermination with the deployment of the M11E Babar. The tech for this Vanguard modified Babar is top secret but we can share some of these public specs with you.
Vehicle Specs
- Weight: 10.3 tons
- Height: 3.65 m
- Width: Across Shoulders - 2.33 m
- Armor: Classified
- Power Source: Classified Fission
M11E Weaponry
This Federation Biped comes armed initially with a M64B Vulcan III Rotary Cannon, M779 Ultralight-Weight Auto Howitzer and of course the shoulder mounted Trip Hammer Smoothbore Cannons. Federation Research and Development is creating more weapon combinations for the future.
M11E Field Test
For Federation Eyes Only!
Valaka Expansion
Update 1.10 will include a new area on Valaka for troopers to explore and defend the Federation from Arachnid menace. The Federation is determined to continue the rebuild and retake the land of Valaka from the Arachnids at all costs. We cannot wait for you all to explore this new area.
Armory Addition: The Liberator
A new Pistol will be added to the arsenal for our Vanguard, this weapon is not only the most powerful pistol in the game but one of the more deadly overall weapons. Though you will need to kill a lot of Bugs to earn the right to unlock and wield such a powerful weapon.
There will be Quality-of-Life updates and high priority bug fixes in this update also. We cannot wait to get this update out to you all towards the end of March 2026. We have major updates coming every Quarter this year, with a whole lot of surprises sprinkled in along the way. In the meantime there are Bugs to kill Troopers!
Thanks,
