Earth Marines

Marines are the core of the Earth Marine Corps and the United Republic's military in general. They serve everywhere. On planets, space stations and starships. Marines are trained for every situation from defending in a family house to a planetary invasion. No matter the situation they are using the best equipment there is. Every marine is equipped with a full-body armour and a railgun rifle. Additionally, their helmet is equipped with a scanner that makes orientation in darkness easier and aids aiming.

I bet you can't even hit a stationary target without relying on your helmet
