Heavily armed and equipped with powered armor, marines specialize in planetside operations such as raids.

–In-Game Description


Marines are used to perform raid operations. Marines gain experience when used on raids, and combining higher-ranked marines with lower will even out the experience between them.

Marines benefit from the Leadership skill, "Tactical Drills", which grants them +50% effectiveness and -25% casualties in addition to providing the combat ships in your fleet with +5% damage.

Experience

Elite Marines.png

Marines gain experience when used on raids, and combining higher-ranked marines with lower will even out the experience between them.

Experienced marines have:

  • Increased effectiveness of ground operations, going up to +100%.
  • Reduced to marine casualties suffered during ground operations, going up to -50%.

Small groups of "Elite" Marines with +100% combat effectiveness and -50% casualties can be purchased on occasion from bars. A cunning player could deposit elite marines in a safe storage location, withdrawing the large amount at once when the time comes to begin raiding. Avoid combining them with other, lower-ranked marines, as their experience will be shared with the lower-ranked troops, de-ranking them (unless, of course, that's what you want).
