Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles was a CGI animated television series based on both the novel by Robert A. Heinlein and the 1997 film adaptation directed by Paul Verhoeven . It follows the exploits of the Mobile Infantry squad "Razak's Roughnecks" during the SICON–Bugs War, between a newly united humanity and an extraterrestrial race, the "Bugs" . The show focuses mainly on the missions in which the squad participates, rather than addressing the larger war. The show tried to be true to an adult-oriented science fiction franchise without being too violent, mature, or... controversial for the age group that typically watches Saturday morning cartoons. The series aired for one season on BKN beginning in August 1999 and in syndication in the United States and Canada. It was later picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel in the US, and Teletoon in Canada. The entire series is available to be streamed on Netflix and Crackle in the US, along with several Minisodes.
