Naval Infantry Soldier
A Naval Infantry soldier, also known as a Marine, is person who fought in the naval infantry, a military branch specialized in boarding actions and planetary assault. Most members of the naval infantry are trained to specialize in operations as shipboard security or in the art of high speed planetary assaults, though most Marines will find themselves pulling both duties during their careers. Usually this takes the form of serving on board the naval vessel of an interstellar state, though in some instances, customs services of independent worlds may sometimes be trained to the same caliber as marines.
