Arstotzka Marine Corp

The Arstotzka Marine Corp is
Arstotzka's premier special forces branch, it's made up entirely of
actual people as opposed to automaton.

## General

Each member goes through a 24
month long training regiment where they are drilled into peerless
combatants. The Marine Corp is usually sent as a reactionary or
pre-emptive force and are rarely found to garrison an area for long
periods of time. The Marine Corp includes the Tenno Corp. The Marines
are first and foremost trained to operate in low-gravity, rough terrain
and alien environment they must be able to adapt and overcome different
areas of operations starting with ground combat. Once they are
proficient with ground combat, they move onto void combat. Only when
each marine has proved their proficiency in both environments are they
given the rank of "recruit".

Each Marine must
serve a term of 5-7 years in the service before they are allowed to be
discharged. Throughout that period, they undergo extensive simulation
training and exercises to maintain their combat readiness. Come a first
chance, recruits will always see action alongside experienced troops
embedded into units. This combination of experienced and novice troops
insure recruits will get all the wisdom needed in the combat zone. Due
to their high risk jobs, most marines are at high risk of psychological
injury besides the physical injury. Marines that lose limbs are donated
high-performance prosthetic limbs and a maintenance package for a
lifetime. However, in order to avoid psychological damage, Marines
undergo a "psychological R&R" where their minds are cleared after a
several day long sleep while hooked up to a machine.

## Ranks

Preatorians are the
veteran marines that operated exclusively the Mk 10 Ranger armor. Ranger
 armor is void capable and carry a personal shield, they are able to
mount heavy weapons as well as augmenting a user's speed and resilience.

### Marine Triarii

 the Triarii.

### Marine Recruit

## **Gear**

### Mk 3 Marine Combat Armor

Standard issue power
armor that gives the user significantly enhanced resilience against
small arms fire, augmented physical attributes and enhanced situational
awareness it is fitted with a bodyglove that the marine wears
underneath. Under the metal plates, is a jelly like substance encased in
 a thick ballistic resistant fabric. This acts as a last line of
defense, slowing down projectiles and sealing gaps and wounds. The
substance will form-fit to the marine's body shape and maintain body
temperature. The inside of the armor is usually fully sealed from the
outside.

### Mk 10 Ranger Armor

A completely
redesigned version of the armor, while repeating all the Mk 3 MCA's
capabilities, it can seal the user from the void even while damaged
while enabling void navigation. It offers extra protection, upgraded
physical augments and embedded weapon systems and sensors. It mounts a
pair of standard issue rifles with a large pool of ammunition. These
embedded small arms, lets the user operate heavier weapons.
