The premise is a bit like the Star Trek “Away teams/red shirts”, with the ‘expendables’ being those who go down to new worlds to explore, a job with a high mortality rate. Someone in the Admiralty had some research that people were less impacted by the death of an ugly crewmate, so they went round recruiting all the ugly people into the Expendables.

An enjoyable light read. The expendables call dying on the job, “Going Oh Shi*”, as the last thing heard from them is often on the lines of “I’ll just lift the stone…Oh shi*”.
