Colonial Marines



The Colonial Marine Corps is a branch of the Colonial Forces tasked with ground combat operations and ship-board security.

A Marine's duties include guarding the CIC and the brig as well as other critical areas on the ship, and assisting the Master-at-Arms  and are part of Raptor boarding parties. Naturally, they are also responsible for repelling enemy boarding actions.

The Commander's quarters are constantly under marine guard, as was true for Presidential visits.

Marine training is difficult and weeds out a fair amount of would-be Marines. At the end of training the Marine is a skilled rifleman, proficient in hand-to-hand combat, armed and unarmed, breaching hostile structures or ships and repelling boarders.

Marines are recognisable by their black armor with titanium trauma plating, elbow and shin guards and armoured helmets.

They carry a combat knife, the standard issue CX4 Storm with laser sights, flash suppressor, and flashlight. The standard sidearm was the FiveseveN with underslung, single shot muzzle-loaded grenade launcher. They also carried a variety of grenades, both lethal and non-lethal.
