Black Talons is a real time tactics game set in the future, where the player leads a company of mercenaries stuck in a war torn star system. The player leads his forces from a battlecruiser where new troops and mechs can be recruited, trained and customized. As the commander of the company, the player must decide which missions to take, and carefully manage his reputation amongst all the existing factions.
Santos’ Raiders are an ex-USF unit led by Colonel Santos.
Colonel Carth Santos was the leader of the famous 245th Marine Corps stationed in the Epsilon sector. Respected and considered a tactical genius, Santos won countless victories for the United Space Federation.
His extreme and ruthless tactics earned him the nickname “The Beast”, a name well known to friend and foe alike. Ultimately Santos decided to abandon the USF and led his rogue unit to Uver. The planetary defenses were no match for the Colonel, who appointed himself the new planetary governor. While this situation caused the USF some discomfort no troops were ever sent to bring Santos to justice, probably due to the Federation’s weakened state and lack of manpower.
