Returning soldiers often share horror stories of the fearsome ‘marauder elbow’.

“I was in the middle of hacking a device and got hit out of nowhere!”

“My gun was in the middle of reloading and then, bam! Elbow to the face.”

“I used my medi-gel to get up, only to get knocked down again!”

To get some sweet, sweet revenge, hand-to-hand combat experts from all ends of the galaxy have flown in to fight in place of their bruised and broken comrades. Each soldier here has had years of training in various types of martial arts or physical combat, bringing to the table different schools of "how to beat your enemy into a bloody pulp with your own two hands." Even better, three volunteers have poetically decided that they are going to give these stinky marauders a taste of their own medicine: by similarly embracing the hardness of an elbow—or the xeno-equivalent of an elbow—our volunteers are going to smack the Reapers out of the battlefield.

This mission will be a joint effort between the allied races to send a threat to marauders across the galaxy as they risk life and limb to smack their way through a fresh horde of enemies.
