Praetor Drusus

**Praetor William Drusus** is one of the highest-ranking officers in the series. He is known for telling bad jokes, however his war plans are usually very effective.

For many years Drusus served as Tribune of Legion Varus.

When the Cephalopod invasion of Earth began Drusus, then Tribune of Legion Varus, was promoted to Imperator and charged with the defense of Central and the defeat of the invasion force in the surrounding areas.

As a result of his successful defense of Central and the defeat of the Cephalopod invasion force he was promoted to the rank of Equestrian. As equestrian he was in ultimate control of Central and the Hegemony forces based out there. The only higher ranked officers were located at the seat of world government in Geneva.

Some years later Drusus joined those higher ranked officers when he was promoted to Praetor, the first person to achieve that rank in over a decade.

## Events

Steel World McGill is introduced to Drusus after killing a strange creature (which turned out to be a Galactic). He is candid with McGill and tells him about "true enemies" and talks about the true purpose of Legion Varus in fighting off upstart mercenary races to maintain their monopoly.

Death World was a planet inhabited by the Wur that appeared in Book 5: Death World. Death World's official designation is L-374.

The planet had a single Wur spaceport which was destroyed by *Minotaur*'s broadsides at the order of Imperator Toruv.

The surface of the planet is one giant forest made of up mega-flora. Several variations of Wur plants and creatures exist and the planet is controlled by a central nexus.

This article is too short to be good! Chief Inspector Xlur demands you to add something to it to help make it better!

The **Human-Rigellian War**, also known as the Frontier War, is a large-scale conflict currently ongoing. Earth and Rigel are competing for dominance of the surrounding systems. It is the war that the Galactics warned Earth about.

## Human-Rigellian War

Terran and Rigel ships fighting in the middle of space

### Description

A large-scale conflict taking place over Frontier 921 and the land beyond

## Battle of Dark World

The Battle of Dark World is divided into two phases:

* Storming of the Eridani Orbital Station
* Invasion of Dark World

## Battle of Storm World

Legion Varus arrived on Storm World to eradicate the Wur for the Scuppers, a salamander-like species who were native to the world. The Wur were attempting to take over the planet, which the Scuppers obviously didn't like.

The Scuppers also called up Rigel, another empire, to eradicate the Wur. Because of this, Rigel and Earth began fighting for ownership of the planet.

Rigel attempted a starship siege of Nostrum, which ultimately failed, but caused Nostrum to flee, leaving Legion Varus at a large disadvantage.

Rigel soon forced the Wur to fight with them against Legion Varus, and ultimately won the battle, although the Nexus of Storm World was destroyed.

*This page is about the first invasion of Central, for the second invasion, visit Second Invasion of Central.*

### Description

A failed attempt by the Cephalopod Kingdom to take over Hegemony's capital, Central.

### Result

Terran Victory

The first invasion of Central was an attack carried out by the squids in Book 6: Home World. It was a part of the larger Invasion of Earth and the Human-Squid War.

## Motive

While the motive of this attack seems to reflect the reason of the Invasion of Earth, which was to stop a growing power from destroying their empire, another motive could be to find *The Eaters of Lotus,* which is a book that depicted ways to exterminate the Mogwa.
Steel World (game)

*Not to be confused with the planet Storm World, the planet visited by Legion Varus in Book 1: Storm World*

Storm World is the name of the game that McGill played in the beginning of Book 1: Storm World. He and his squadmates were escorting a rich alien figure whilst fighting back swarms of angry miners, who had revolted against the aristocracy.
Battle Fleet 921

Battle Fleet 921 was the provincial battle fleet of Province 921 of the Galactic Empire. Due to the Galactic Civil War, the fleet was called to the Core Systems, leaving Earth as the province's new enforcers.

During a brief lull in military action at the Core the Fleet returned for a tour Province 921. Among the goals was to force Earth to relinquish control of the vast kingdom they had won from the Cephelopods.

As the fleet entered orbit around Rogue World to destroy the illegal research station located there they were attacked by the Stealth Ship. The resulting battle resulted in the loss of at least 300 ships, 1/3 of the fleet.

Hostilities at the core resumed and the fleet was once again recalled. The major conflict caused the complete destruction of Battle Fleet 921.

Later on, Grand Admiral Sateekas had the fleet hastily built up again, but it was destroyed to the Skay.

Along the way he unleashes new terrors, triggering the biggest battles in human history.

HOME WORLD is the sixth book of Undying Mercenaries Series, a novel of military science fiction by bestselling author B. V. Larson.
Frontier 921

Frontier 921, also named Province 921 or Frontier Province 921, is a province belonging to the Galactic Empire. It is located on the outskirts of the Empire. Beyond 921 is uncharted land, along with rival empires, such as the Cephalopod Kingdom and Rigel. Battle Fleet 921 patrols the province to maintain order and expand the frontier.

Battle Fleet 921 was recalled back to the Core Systems to partake in the Galactic Civil War, leaving Frontier 921 virtually undefended. Hegemony was established as the new local "police" enforcers of the region during the battle fleet's absence.

Battle Fleet 921 has been revealed to be completely destroyed due to the civil war.

## Technical Information

### Crew

Legion Varus

*Minotaur* was a starship used by Legion Varus. Unlike the legion's former ship, *Corvus*, *Minotaur* is a full dreadnaught designed for battle. It has heavy armor and artillery on one side, giving the ship a lopsided appearance. This is because capital ships frequently align only one side of their hull towards a target at any given time.

In a departure from earlier ships designed primarily for troop transport the interior of *Minotaur* has no set decks. Instead the central hold can be filled with large living habitat units that can be loaded and unloaded as needed.

*Minotaur*, like all Galactic ships in Frontier 921, is crewed by the Skrull. It holds a full collection of lifters and several pinnaces.

The ship was damaged during the Rebellion at Gelt Station when is was rammed by several small Tau ships.
Human-Cyborg

Human-Cyborgs are a disgusting mix of humans, Pegasi, and machinery. Varying in size, height, and function, regular creatures are captured and transformed into these monsters. It is believed that the populations of Armor World and Hammonton were turned into these freaks by Flesh-Factories.

The creators of these abominations are the Skay.
Tribune

A one-star or “brigadier” general. All legions are led by a tribune, and they have an unusual degree of autonomy within their mission parameters. A legion is made up of ten to fifteen cohorts. Half the cohorts are light troops with poor gear, and half heavily armed and armored. Some legions have specialized cohorts attached that are designated as auxiliary.

## First Invasion of Earth

### Description

A failed invasion attempt on Earth, a part of the Human-Squid War

### Result

Terran Victory

The **First Invasion of Earth** was a major battle that took place in Earth and the Sol System. Its result could determine the fate of Earth and mankind. The First Invasion of Central was the primary goal; take out Hegemony's capital building and cripple the entire Terran defense force. This battle was a part of the larger Human-Squid War.

Although there was some infighting between top brass Drusus was eventually promoted to Imperator and given command of the defense of Central.

## Result

*For more, see Bombing of Throne World*

The Terrans won the day after James McGill uses the Galactic Key to retrieve an antimatter bomb, and then used it to teleport to Throne World and bomb it.

Turov then followed in McGill's footsteps and ordered Ferguson to do the same thing, and after that, the squids feared that the humans would have more antimatter bombs, and so they surrendered.
Recruit

The starting place for all new soldiers. These are the least experienced people in the legion, and consequently they’re always placed in light infantry cohorts with the cheapest weaponry. Good alien-made equipment is expensive, and normally it’s only issued to people with proven skills. Recruits are often referred to as “splats” due to their tendency to experience frequent, violent death.
Tau Ceti System

Location of Tau Ceti in the south of the constellation Cetus.

Tau Ceti is a star located 12 light-years from Earth and is visible to the naked eye. It is smaller than Earth's sun, Sol, but has similar brightness.

The Tau Ceti system is home to Tech World, a planet inhabited by Tau and featured in the 3rd book of the series.

## Near-Humans

### Status

Alive

Near-humans are genetically modified variation of Humans created by the squids. Each Near-human was modified to have a specific function, such as the Rogue Worlders, who are made to be very intelligent. One example is Floramel. The Blood Worlders are much more violent, and many were modified specifically for combat.
North America Sector

North America Sector is the sector that incorporates territory from the continent of North America in Earth. It controls the former nations of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and presumably the Caribbean and Central America, along with the former Danish territory of Greenland.

Star-fall

Star-falls are a heavy-duty artillery cannon used by Hegemony. They were first used during the Battle at Dawn against a Peg city.

Star-falls fire slow-moving salvoes of energy high into the air, before crashing down and vaporizing buildings and enemies alike. They are excellent at penetrating protective shields used by ships and troopers.
Book 9: Dark World

*Dark World* is the ninth book of the *Undying Mercenaries* series.

## Official summary

Two expanding interstellar powers are about to meet in battle.

After the collapse of the Cephalopod Kingdom, Humanity claimed the three hundred rebellious worlds they left behind. But many light years away on the far side of the disputed region, a rival power has begun to move. They're stealing our planets, one at a time.

Earth Command decides to invade the center of the frontier to set up an advanced base. The mission to DARK WORLD is highly classified and deadly. Legion Varus spearhead’s the effort, and James McGill journeys to the stars again.

How many ships do they have? How advanced is their tech? No one knows, but the campaign takes an unexpected turn immediately. What was supposed to be a snatch-and-grab turns into a bloodbath. McGill dies over and over again, but some battles must be won, even if it means perma-death.
Cooper

Stub!
This article is too short to be good! Chief Inspector Xlur demands you to add something to it to help make it better!

**Cooper** is a specialist in Legion Varus. He was given the chance to be one of the first of the then new class of specialist known as a Ghost on Storm World by James McGill.

Cooper began his career in the Legions much like McGill. He came to the Mustering Hall expecting to join a prestigious Legion, even taking time to piss off McGill who was manning the Varus recruitment station much like Harris did on James' first visit. McGill later returned the sentiment encouraging Cooper to not take the psych test too seriously, which McGill had a feeling would be all the push he required to tip the scales in favor of him ending up in Varus.

Cooper has been something between a little brother figure to and a character parallel of James McGill though he does not seem to be as much of a scoundrel when it comes to women. However, he is a constant pain in McGill's side especially since he has become a Ghost. He often uses his stealth suit to spy on his superiors and generally slack off. Cooper's antics often have the sense of 'just deserts' for some of the grief James has caused his own superiors over the decades.
Storming of the Eridani Orbital Station

*This is part of the large-scale conflict, the Human-Rigellian War.*

Varus and the Iron Eagles attempted to gain control of the ship-building Eridani Orbital Station, however, constant reinforcements from the enemy Vulbites below proved this impossible. To James McGill, the only way to win was to destroy the station entirely, which is what he did.

This battle was phase one of the Battle of Dark World.

## Initial invasion

When both legions arrived and stormed the station, the entire crew had evacuated before, leaving the entire base abandoned. Legion Varus and the Iron Eagles quickly established control over most of the station.

James McGill heard crying and investigated. He found a dead woman in a cell. The woman was Abigail, or Lady-Claver.

Gold Deck, aboard the Nostrum, ordered the legionnaires to secure the outer hull, as enemy defense forces seemed to be arriving. Vulbites attacked the outer hull using stealth suits. Lightning cannons were launched as well, killing many soldiers instantly.

McGill's cohort was being defeated, and they bunkered up in a room. The Iron Eagles attempted to show Varus they could defeat the Vulbites, but it ended as a complete failure. The Vulbites kept coming in rising numbers, using the umbilical cord to reach the station. McGill recommended that the cord be destroyed to stop enemy reinforcements, but his proposal was rejected, as destroying the umbilical would render it useless. Hegemony desired the station for its shipbuilding capabilities, and destroying it would go against their goals.

## Destruction of the Station

*For the main article, go to Destruction of the Eridani Orbital Station*

Despite his superiors' warnings, McGill's troops began setting charges near the umbilical. Tribune Deech demanded he move away or the Nostrum's guns would destroy him. McGIll obliged, and his soldiers backed away from the area. James, however, dug into the umbilical. When Deech realized this, she ordered an attack towards his location.

As James had planned, the ship's weapons tore holes in the umbilical cord. He was now in free-fall. The cord collapsed underneath its own weight, and the station came down with it. The entire station was destroyed.

## Aftermath

With the station destroyed, their original goal was useless. But some officers realized that McGill's actions were indeed necessary.

James McGill awoke days later, after all revives on hold were re-added to the queue. Evelyn Thompson added McGill to the top of the queue. She informed him Galina Turov had ordered him to fire the Nostrum'sbroadsides at 191 Eridani. McGill's legion was entirely trapped on the surface of the planet.

## Physical description

### Gender

Male

Winslade is a Hegemony "hog". Described as a weasel and rank climber, where James McGill is more of a mischievous troublemaker who still gets the job done, Winslade is a conniving schemer. He is always willing to sell out or screw someone to get ahead, save his own hide, or just avoid inconvenience.

He constantly sucks up to his superior officers, often inserting himself into their staff as he did with Turov and Deech. He is regularly bends all his efforts to gaining advantage and lording what power he has managed to grab over those below him. His ambition out strips his ability by a wide margin.

He often does his level best to act as a gate keeper to Gold Deck brass. Winslade frequently tries to block or ride the coat tails of James McGill, whichever he sees more advantage in, when James speaks directly to the higher-ups. He has served in Legion Varus and at times has been able work effectively with McGill when he isn't working at cross purposes and gives James the leeway to do things his way.

## Events

***(add information)***

Steel World
Dust World

Tech World
McGill first mentions him in this book, but seems to already know him. He is an Adjunct and a kiss up to Turov

Machine World
Promoted to Primus.

Deaths:

Death World
Leads forces on the ground. Keeps anyone of higher rank from being revived to stay in command. McGill (as a bad grow) tries to kill him because he used lifter cannons to kill McGill. Repeatedly revives and kills claver for information.

When they return to earth, he murders Turov and steals the galactic key, but he is then killed by McGill and Claver and the key stolen back. Claver wants to Perm him, but instead his mental backups are then erased by McGill so he does not remember learning about the key.

Deaths: Killed by Claver

Home World

Deaths: Shot in the face by Turov.

Teleport suits

Teleport Suits are galactic tech. A being wearing a teleport suit is able to use a dial to teleport to a preset location.
The location can move (for example, it can teleport to a location on a ship and still go there when the ship moves)
The suit needs to be unlocked using a galactic key to work, otherwise it fries the user.

The user experiences a period of bodiless consciousness within the void when they travel. The further the distance, the longer the experience. When two people teleport together, they experience each others presence in the void.

Graves speculates teleportation is similar to dying, since the user is broken to their constituent matter and sent to another location and reassembled.

Lisa

Lisa is a tech adjunct who worked with McGill to begin the teleportation missions in Book 6: Home World. After Book 6: Home World, she was never mentioned again in the series.

## Relationship with James

She went without James after he asked her if she would go on a date with him if he teleported successfully. James managed to teleport and come back to Central successfully, and because Lisa promised to go on a date with him, they then went on a date and made love after.

## Knowledge of Galactic Key

Lisa is one of the few people who know about the existence of the Galactic Key, and she promised to keep it a secret.

## Role in teleportation missions

(*Could be somewhat inaccurate)*

Lisa was essential in the teleportation missions in Book 6: Home World. She was the one who worked the power generators that allowed the users to teleport, and she used the Galactic Key, which very few have knowledge of, to allow the suits to be unlocked and used, as the suits were Imperial.
Pegasi Skirmish

The **Pegasi Skirmish** was a space battle between Battle Fleet 921 and a Skay. The fleet was no match for the ginormous spaceship.

Grand Admiral Sateekas wanted to prove his newly built fleet was capable, which unfortunately it was not. This loss resulted in even his death, where he was later revived onboard the Legate.
Self-execution

Self-execution is a punishment generally handed out by the Galactics such as the Nairbs and the Mogwa. This punishment can be handed out whenever the superior feels like it, or when Galactic Law is broken.
Cephalopod

The Cephalopods are a species similar to ones from Earth, resembling a squid or an octopus. The Cephalopods formed an empire, called the Cephalopod Kingdom, and attempted to enslave Humanity. However, their surrender following the Bombing of Throne World caused them to became annexed into Hegemony.

They operate under a slave-master society and will revolt against their masters if the moment is right. Humans have a hard time trusting them.

Female Cephalopods are much larger than males and remain in large bodies of water to breed and produce their young, while the males battle and protect these nurseries.

## Notable Cephalopods

* Sub-Centurion Bubble: A 'friend' of James McGill, the two can be found interacting very often.
* Sub-Centurion Silt: Nearly killed McGill after assuming all was lost, but quickly restored allegiance to the Humans.
* Captain Storm: Captain of a Cephalopod vessel, was killed by McGill after the destruction of the ship.
* Overseer Dribble: One of the commanders of the invading squid army during the First Invasion of Earth, eventually killed by human defence forces.

### Gender

Female

Etta McGill is James McGill's and Della's daughter. After making love on Dust World, James left without knowing Della was pregnant. He only received the word after returning to Earth. Despite being raised in Dust World, Ella went to Earth to live with her father, staying in his parent's home in Georgia Sector.

At age 15, Ella attempted to join Legion Varus. However, the minimum age required is 18, so she was promptly denied entry.

Later, however, she changed her mind and became a bio at Central.
Skay Peace Treaty

The **Skay Peace Treaty** was a treaty made between McGill and one of the Skay involving the fate of Varus and humanity.

The Skay agreed to allowing humanity to continue its existence in return for the following:

* Gain access to the Bio-Terminator
* Enslave humanity
* Assist the Skay in the battle for the Core Systems against the Mogwa

Of course, Humanity will likely ignore the last 2 terms, and the bio-terminator was already delivered.
Earth

Earth is a rocky planet, orbiting the Sun in the Sol System. It is the only planet with life in the entire system. Earth is known for its abundance of unique wildlife. The dominant and intelligent species are humans. Earth serves as the capital planet for Hegemony.

There are currently around 10 billion humans residing on Earth.

## Surface

Earth's surface is very diverse, made up of several different types of terrain. Bodies of water occupy a majority of the Earth's surface, and continental land takes up the rest. Humanity lives on these continents.

There are seven continents on Earth, all containing a permanent population of Humans excluding Antarctica:

* North America
* South America
* Europe
* Asia
* Africa
* Oceania
* Antarctica

There are five oceans, or large quantities of water, on the surface:

* Pacific
* Atlantic
* Indian
* Arctic
* Southern (Antarctic)

## Culture

Earth's culture is extremely diverse and unique. There are over 6,500 different languages spoken, however, the official and widely-used language is English. All Earth personnel are required to speak English.

Earth is unique among other worlds for having a divided history. Humanity was never completely unified until the arrival of the Galactic Empire. Many nation-states battled for dominance and control throughout Humanity's history.

Dust Worlder

Dust Worlders are Humans who traveled on Earth's first colony ship—the Hydra, back in 2041, before the Galactic take-over. After arriving at Zeta Herculis, the star system of Dust World, they sent a message out to Earth. About 80 years later, Earth finally receives the message. Dust Worlders are biologically identical to Terrestrial Humans, however, their culture and activities are much different.

James McGill's daughter, Etta McGill, is a mix of Earth Human and Dust Worlder, as her mother, Della, is from Dust World.

## Culture

Dust Worlders care less about family roles and usually raise their young as stubborn, independent warriors.
Book 7: Rogue World

*Rogue World* is the seventh book of the *Undying Mercenaries* series.

## Official summary

Today, Battle Fleet 921 is returning to Earth. It hasn’t been seen by human eyes since our blissful day of Annexation. But what should be a joyful occasion, a chance to grovel at the feet of superior lifeforms, is rapidly becoming a nightmare.

Over the last century, Humanity has engaged in many activities that our Overlords find… questionable. A panic ensues, and Legion Varus is deployed to erase certain “mistakes” our government has made. Projects must be purged to stop Imperial military action.

Among the thousands marching to war is one man no politician has ever enjoyed dealing with. One man who’s destined to follow his own unique path through Galactic Law, Morality and the Stars themselves.

The story takes place on Earth in the early 2100's set against a history in which a powerful collective of ancient alien races, the Galactics, from the center of the galaxy have annexed Earth into their Empire. Each planet in the Empire is required to provide a service, often referred to as a "trade good" or face extermination. In order meet that requirement Earth provides the only valuable thing they have to sell, their soldiers. Earth's Mercenary legions have been sold to local star systems for almost a century.

As the book opens James McGill, a mediocre college student and frequent gamer is living with his parent. When he is financially unable to complete his education he joins Legion Varus, one the least respected of the Legions.

While at the mustering hall he meets Carlos Ortiz. Despite the tension and frequent fighting between them they both end up in the same Legion and Carlos ends up being McGill's closest friend in the legion.

Legion Varus ships out to their next contract - Cancri-9 - a planet rich in minerals, earning it the name S*teel World*. Steel World is inhabited and controlled by several varieties on saurian lifeforms; the most common of these being raptors and juggers. Varus has been hired to put down a local miner strike.

Several engagements between the two sides leading to McGill's first death. Varus possesses advanced alien technology that allows it to grow fresh copies of it's soldiers when they die. As the number of battles increases and death count rises Varus discovers the legion has been tricked into accepting their contract in order prove the saurians are the superior soldiers.

Chief Inspector Xlur, a Galactic, is secretly observing the contests. The army that wins in the end will be declared the winner and allowed to keep providing mercenary services in the local region of the Empire. If Varus loses the saurians will be allowed to take over that service leaving Earth without a trade good.

At the end of the final battle at the planet's spaceport McGill is the sole survivor. He fails to convince the Nairbs - the impartial judges of the "contest" - that Varus won the battle but points out that the saurians have been using unlicensed revival machines, meaning Varus wins on a technicality.
Battle of Hammonton

The Battle of Hammonton took place during the Second Invasion of Earth. A dome surrounded the town and the population turned into human-cyborgs. McGill and his fellow legionnaires were surprised and horrified when they realized friendly troops were turned into the cyborg mutants too. Not a single living soul was found in the town. They fought strange flappy creatures and bird-like humans. In a fleshy building, they discovered a power core. James realized the power core was the same one he had seen in the hands of Rigel.

 A brief fight between Harris and Cooper caused the core to be destroyed, similarly to how McGill had destroyed the previous one. Once the power core was shattered, the entire dome surrounding the town phased out of existence, and all the cyborgs either fled or became deactivated. Not taking any chances, Hegemony briefly congralutated McGill and his comrades before nuking the city.

Legion Varus is one of Earth's mercenary legions. Named after Publius Quinctilius Varus, the other legions know it as a band of misfits and apes. However, Varus is the toughest of all legions, and spend more time fighting and dying rather than polishing their suits and marching. Due to the nature of their clandestine work Varus is given an unusually high budget by Hegemony.

At the beginning of the series Legion Varus was lead by Tribune Drusus and carried out their contracts aboard the dreadnought *Corvus*.

Chief Inspector Xlur, also known as Xlur, was a Galactic Mogwa official, who was in charge of Province 921. He died many times to James McGill, before being permed on Trantor, by none other than McGill. He was replaced by a content Grand Admiral Sateekas.

Xlur refered to McGill as "McGill Creature", and most likely hated his guts. His most notable feature is his speech: he, along with the other Mogwas, communicate making fart-like noises.

## Final perming

This occurred when James was revived on the Core Worlds, believed to have the text of the *Eaters of Lotus.*

 Before Xlur became impatient with McGill taking too long to "translate" the images he found to the real text, McGill manipulated Xlur's weapon and made it so it would fire in the opposite direction it would traditionally fire, meaning it would fire toward the aggressor.

Xlur had no idea about this, so when Xlur attempted to kill James completely, Xlur accidentally killed himself.

## Trivia

* Chief Inspector Xlur's odd farting noises are so popular, there's an article about it.
* Chief Inspector Xlur's overconfidence of his power over humans is his most notorious feature behind his odd farting habit, as Xlur continously orders people to self-execute.
* It is believed he had a farting fetish and an executing fetish.
* Xlur has a personal diary, hidden in his home by the time of discovery (Fanmade).
* A ceremony was held for Xlur's burial (Fanmade).

## Events

Steel World Present to see who wins the mercenary conflict. When he is killed by McGill twice, he demands that McGill be permed, and tells the assemled officers “Vicious creatures, They should put you all down.”
