Auxilia
Imperial Star Marines 8th Division 8327th Regiment
The Imperial Marines or Imperial Star Marines are the armed fighting forces carried aboard Imperial starships. Marines deal with piracy and boarding actions in space, defend the starports and bases belonging to the navy, and supplement other ground forces such as the army. By reputation, the Imperial Marines are sent in when something or someone presents a serious threat to the well-being of the Imperium and its member worlds. They are never used lightly, and once committed, they never leave a job half-done.
Some derogatorily call them the Lords of Space. The Division General is Major General Ethan Fung a 26 year veteran of the Star Marines.
History
The 43rd fleet was formed during the first Frontier war against the Zhodani In the beginning the 43rd's reputation was as a strong fleet was up there with the likes of 73rd and the 208th fleets. There was a friendly rivalry between the three fleets in the beginning. Then Bad commanders ended up at the 43rd and then it was hit and miss with the 43rd. To top it off Admiral Darokyn disappears with 50 or more ships and has never been seen since. Today the 43rd operates effectively but there are rumors in the ranks that the high command of the 43rd is once again up to something.
