The armies and Grand Fleet of the Post Human Republic have completed their conquest of the Tlalocan Moons, annihilating most alien Scourge forces there. The PHR chose the system as a beachhead in this galaxy-wide conflict due to its vast resources but also for its ancient connection to a new foe- the Bioficers. Many relic technologies, listening posts and more eldritch remnants of their mysterious past lurk there. It has been a primary goal to silence Bioficer beacons and study their technologies to slow their advance and perhaps, one day to stop them. Though all are verdant paradises, the old human cities of the Tlalocan moons are overgrown and infested with terrifying megafauna and the tank-sized carnivores that hunt them. The PHR have equipped teams of cybernetically enhanced pilots with state-of-the-art Type 9 Frontier Walkers to seek, capture, and neutralise all Bioficer technologies there while not attracting deadly predators. If the mission goes loud, they will need all of their prowess and considerable firepower to cleanse the inrushing hordes of razor-toothed monsters. Dropzone Commander: Operation Artemis is a game of fast combat in the far future. Speed is key as brave PHR pilots attempt to capture or destroy Bioficer beacons whilst fending off waves of mighty Megafauna. Seize control of the battlefield by eliminating your foes with devastating attacks or breaking them down with constant waves of damage over the game's 6 rounds. Predicting your opponent's next move will be critical to victory, whilst powerful command cards could turn the battle on its head. This box contains everything that two players will need to start playing games of Dropzone Commander: Operation Artemis. Each box contains opposing forces of PHR and Megafauna with a variety of miniatures for both. As combat intensifies, the Noise and Threat go up.
