Space Troopers!

Space Troopers! is an Archived project on LEGO CUUSOO created by NickRoyer on December 6th, 2011. He also collaborated with GreenLead and CrashSanders on this project. It was formerly known as "Space Marines!," however, the name had to change due to a request from another company. It reached Achieved status on December 3rd, 2012, right before the December 4th deadline for the 2012 Winter Review. When the results for the 2012 Winter Review were announced on October 21st, 2013, the project was Archived. It did not pass the LEGO Review process, and LEGO did not specify why it failed to pass.
It is also still the most commented-on project on the site, with over 13,033 comments due to the extremely creative fan base creating stories and spin off adventures. Inside the comment section you will find Brickkart's giant "Space Marines University", which has an estimated 600+ comments and is believed to be the largest comment stream on the site. When comments were closed for all Achieved projects, fans of Space Troopers! were especially upset.
The original name of the project, Space Marines!, belonged to another company, and they requested a name change, according to LEGO. The project was inaccessible during that time, and links to the project on the site were entitled: "Unavailable due to Trademark Request." It is unknown exactly which company asked for the name to be changed, but many believe it was Games Workshop, owners of Warhammer 40,000.
A wiki about the project and the fictional Space Marines universe was created by fans, and can be found here.
==Project Content==
Numerous set ideas have been created, and their links are here, here and here.
Before the achievement of even 5,000 supporters, NickRoyer created a Space Marines Visual Guide, to give lots of information on the Space Marines, their history, enemies, and other things pertaining to the entire idea itself, which can be viewed here.
Soon after the project reached the necessary 10,000 supporters, the creator, NickRoyer, made a photo and posted it on Flickr, for people to "tag", so that people could pretend to be a Space Marine. It can be seen here.
