Space Marines
In the future, space has been colonized. As humanity expanded, the Marine Corps evolved into the Space Force. Colonel Fraser, a former Marine officer turned pirate, leads his pirates in hijacking a new synthetic explosive. This explosive, both light and concealable, serves as an ideal improvised explosive device. Fraser takes hostages at a local colony to draw out an Earth negotiator, who is escorted by a Marine fire team under the command of Captain "Gray Wolf" Gray. Fraser subsequently takes the negotiator and the Sergeant in charge of the security detail hostage on his ship. Following a brief space chase, Fraser issues demands for gold in exchange for the negotiator's life. Colonel Fraser is ultimately killed by a new recruit, who shoots him through his own torso, resulting in the deaths of both individuals.
