Jump Rangers - Corebook
A downloadable game
Jump Rangers is about little kid space commandoes fighting for humanity's survival against an empire of giant alien dinosaurs - as well as giant alien robots, and all the other giant threats that wait for us among the stars. When "The Saurian Horde" invaded Earth, our world has no interstellar travel of our own. The only way humanity could survive was by colonizing their vast and cavernous motherships, colonizing the worlds where they land, and spreading out amongst the stars like an infestation of bed bugs.
While the grown-up refugees of Earth struggle through their ragtag, "bandages and blasters" existence and cling to the last little pieces of human civilization, a number of brave kids have taken it upon themselves to sneak aboard alien vessels and steal technology, to carry news between worlds and star systems, to fight back against the aliens, and to lead humanity into the future. Nobody told these kids to run away and become our heroes. In Jump Rangers, kids really are the future... and that future is now.

In the first mission of the core Jump Rangers continuity, General Ardin Paksis is asking a brave group of Jump Rangers to make contact with the undersaur rebels on Sauros... and to join him in securing victory against the Saurian on Planet Battleground!
INTEL FILE 3: CRITTERS OF THE GALAXY
Loaded with animals from all corners of known space and beyond, animal-related characters and locations, and even a mission centered around evacuating the animals of Planet Armageddon, this is a book in every way about the animals of Jump Rangers!
