Imperial Star Marines

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. When the Third Imperium was established the naval leadership requested that the Imperial Star Marines be reactivated. Once activated leadership looking into the history of the Star Marines decided to adopt the doctrine of the USMC from old Terra days. Based on that Doctrine each region of charted space would have six divisions in the sectors they were assigned to operating independently under the command of the naval fleets they served. The over all Commandant of the Star Marines would be Head Quartered in the capital. Each region of the six divisions would have a four Star General as the overall commanding officer of the six Divisions. In The area known as the Frontier Sectors of the The Third Imperium the Commanding officer of the frontier Marines is General Esteban Devaux who is Head quartered at Deneb.

Public Agenda

The marine's goal is simple: put down opposition to the Emperor anywhere, anytime, and for any reason. They stand as the elite end of interstellar force projection and are kept at the cutting edge of martial technology at a high expense. Marines typically employ top of the line TL-15 weaponry including battledress, FGMPs, and grav tanks. On occasion, the Imperial Marines may be called upon to temporarily administer worlds under Martial Law or supply a Military Government under Imperial Law. This is usually undertaken in cooperation with the Imperial Navy and the Subsector Duke. Despite the popular misconception, it is NOT the role of the Imperial Marines to provide protection to all starports. This is the role of the Starport Authority Police. However, the Imperial Marines are empowered to provide assistance to the Starport Authority when requested.
