Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation is the 2004 direct-to-video sequel to the 1997 feature film Starship Troopers. It had a $7 million dollar budget as opposed to the $100 million of the original. Even though the film received only a Direct to Video released in America, it was granted a theatrical release in Japan and Spain. It has almost no relationship to the novel Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein, unlike the first Starship Troopers movie, which was loosely based on the characters and storyline of the book (though much different in tone). None of the characters from the original movie appear in this sequel (except for in recycled footage), although the actress Brenda Strong appears in both movies as different characters. The movie was directed by Phil Tippett, who is also the founder of Tippett Studio, the visual effects company that created the creature and miniature effects for the original film. A further sequel, Starship Troopers 3 has since been released.
