Marines are the first line of defense for most Terran colonies. A majority of them were at one time criminals or rebels who have undergone mandatory Neural Resocialization. Freed from any previous allegiances or ideologies, these fearless men and women are ready to defend Confederate interests with their lives.
The Powered Combat Suit worn by Confederate Marines is effective against most small-arms fire and provides them with full life-support and NBC (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical) shielding for operation in deep space and hostile environments. The C-14 Impaler Gauss Rifle fires 8mm metal "spikes" at hypersonic speeds. The rounds are designed to provide maximum penetration against all armor types. To preserve both ammo usage and minimize power requirements, the rifle uses a capacitor system to fire in short, controlled bursts.
EVula's Notes:
Marines are, in my opinion, the best all around unit in the game. Cheap, expendable, and can hit both ground and air units, all rolled up into the basic Terran unit. You gotta love it. Team them up with Medics to make sure they kick even more ass. StimPacks work GREAT with Marines, as they'll move faster and work harder to kill their enemies.
