Background
Space Hulk is a video game based on a 1989 board game of the same name. Set in the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe, the video game tasks the player to take control of genetically enhanced soldiers called Space Marines. Wearing powered exoskeletons known as Terminator suits, these Marines embark on missions aboard the eponymous derelict starships that drift in and out of the warp, an alternate region of space through which vast interstellar distances can be traversed in a short time. The vessels are infested with Genestealers, four-armed aliens, who invade worlds encountered in the ships' paths. Sworn to protect the human race, the Marines aim to eradicate the alien threat.

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
