SICON? Been watching Roughnecks have we? I love that show.

 

[dalek sec]

I scored 90%, with 9 of 10 correct on The Escapist's The Sci-Fi Militaries Quiz!. [br] [a href="/quizzes/view/207-The-Sci-Fi-Militaries-Quiz"]Take this quiz[/a]

Not bad considering I had to guess on a few of them.

 

[Thaluikhain]

7 out of 10, with a lot of guesses.

I think the wrong answers in that were interesting. Mentioning UNIT, for example.

Oh, and could argue the Starship Troopers one, in that that wasn't really based on the book it was based on.

 

[Winston Chang]

Unfortunately, only one that tripped me was Dune. Slightly obscure for me.
Otherwise cake.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

The only one I messed up was the Dune question. Never read Frank Herbert.

The only Starship Troopers question was who invented the Mobile Infantry, which was Heinlein's creation.

SICON is the name that the Federation uses in Starship Troopers: Roughneck Chronicles, which is an alternate universe.

Ah, but didn't they specify in the Starship Troopers movie?

Nothing to do with the Heinlein, that thing

Anyone know what game that picture is from? Looks cool.

Uh, what? The Mobile Infantry was most assuredly referenced in both the book and the movie. The movie might have played fast and loose with the content of the book but the MI was in both.

Except none of the questions were about the movie. There was a reference to the Roughneck Chronicles Cartoon in the question about Mass Effect, but the Starship Troopers question was asking about who wrote the book

 

[Zhukov]

Whahey! 10/10 first go.

Knew all of them except the Dune one. Lucky guess.

Woo! I only had to look up about 2 answers, too (and guess 1).

Those are Terran marines from StarCraft 2.

Turns out the BBC should have brushed up with this

9/10, not bad, I'd say. The Dune question threw me off.

Thanks Raiyan. Much appreciated. That's really pretty cool. Iron Man does it better, but it's still pretty good.

I was absolutely certain that the image was related to an in-development new IP that I'd read about on the Escapist. Oh well... I guess they just nicked the image and used it in the news post.

 

[Lunar Templar]

7-10

i thought i'd only have gotten like 5 of em

 

[Aidinthel]

9/10

I don't know anything about Halo, and I had to guess on the Space Marine question, but most of that was pretty easy. I'm surprised at the number of people who haven't read Dune.

 

[Nouw]

Dune and Mass Effect threw me off but the rest were easy . I wish the badges were on a gradient, each tagline belonging to a score. "Come on you apes!" should be 10 .
