you never see androids in game.

None of the people I watch play the game seemed to know about them so that needs to change. People knowing about the androids is a gateway to making the satire good in a way starship troopers could never hope to be. I cannot stress how much having a clear and relatable good example faction in the setting screws with the type of "lol grimdark everyone bad" thought terminating cliche people use to dissolve the satire of things like this into nothing.

Best you'd get would be a cutscene, the game is a bunch of randomly generated missions with no real interconnecting story other than "there is a war". All of the satire is set-dressing.
