Nathan West (Morgan Weisser) was originally a member of the Tellus colony expedition but was kicked off and separated from his fiancée for political reasons. Cooper Hawkes (Rodney Rowland) is an artificially gestated In Vitro (known as [apost]Tanks[apost]) and has been ordered to enlist by a Judge or go to jail. Fleshing out the team are Vanessa Damphousse (Lanei Chapman) and Paul Wang (Joel de la Fuente). They are led by Colonel TC McQueen (James Morrison), another In Vitro but a career Marine whose original squadron [apost]The Angry Angels[apost] were wiped out fairly quickly after the war started. <newline>In Vitro[apost]s were created specifically to fight during the AI war, effectively a second class of human life and looked down upon by a large number of unsympathetic and prejudiced humans. The opponents in the AI wars were the Silicates, yet another second class breed of life for humans, but this time artificial. The Silicates were created for more menial jobs as robotic lifeforms but rebelled against their human masters.
