Marine Template  75 pts.

Marines are specially trained combat troops stationed on Stellar Force vessels.  Every Stellar Force combat ship carries a complement of Marines, from a couple of squads on a frigate up to a combined-arms battalion on board carriers.  The Marines are the onboard security detachment and commonly board suspicious vessels and secure threatened space stations and starports until Ground Force troops arrive.  Marines are considered elite by the population at large, but Ground Force Special Operations troops sniff at this.
