Back-story
After the success of the Marine Corps' Project "Juggernaut," the program used to bio-engineer normal soldiers into the genetically enhanced Assaults, top military officials decided to take the program to the next level. They wanted to combine the intelligence of a human with the size and strength of animals, creating Human-Hybrid Soldiers stronger than either combined. After many initial failures, resulting in countless Abominations (that "Never Happened") a perfect blend of Bovine and Human DNA was found. Earth's cows, after countless generations of selective breeding and growth hormone usage, had become resilient to genetic backlash, and more accepting of foreign drugs, hormones, and most importantly, DNA. The first batch of these Man-Cows was bred, and dubbed "Taurens." The Taurens proved to have an aptitude for violence and Bullish pride, serving their superiors above all else, with fanatical loyalty. So highly trained and equipped were the Taurens, combined with their super human strength, that combat became almost a game to them. They took to contests in the field, boasting about enemies killed or missions completed. High Command worried the Tauren's success would cause them to realize their true strength. It was then decided only to Employ these Tauren Marines on Suicide Missions. Apollo is their next assignment...
