Watch Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles Online

It follows the exploits of the Mobile Infantry squad "Razak's Roughnecks" during the SICON-Arachnid war, and focuses mainly on the small actions in which the squad participates, rather than addressing the larger war.

The series originally aired on PAX in August 1999 and in syndication in the United States and Canada. It was later picked up by the SciFi Channel in the US, and Teletoon in Canada.

The show borrows elements from Paul Verhoeven's film, but incorporates more elements from the original novel the film was based on, such as the Skinnies, powered armor suits, and drop pods. Some elements are original (e.g. the war starts on Pluto), and the controversial politics of the original book are left out.

The weapons and ships from the Roughnecks series appear to be based on the weapons and ships seen in the film Aliens. The troopers' suits used on Tesca and Earth also resemble the Marines' suits in Aliens.
