Space Marine	comment	Since Space Is an Ocean, Space Marines are the elite expeditionary troops carried by spaceships, their roles paralleling those of conventional marines: mobile deployment from the ship , boarding hostile ships, securing ports — including Space Stations — from Space Pirates and enemy forces, and landing on hostile shores to secure a beachhead, although in this case, they land on enemy planets. These rough-hewn, tough warriors with strong esprit de corps and fighting spirit are the frontline troops of choice for humans battling marauding aliens in the Standard Sci Fi Setting. Space Marines first turn up in the short story "Captain Brink of the Space Marines" by Bob Olsen in Amazing Stories Volume 7, Number 8, of November 1932, and a later followup, 1936's "The Space Marines and the Slavers." The trope, however, fully rose to prominence with the use of the term in the wildly popular Lensman Series beginning in 1934. In 1959, Starship Troopers codified the trope, popularizing the emblematic Power Armor, The Spartan Way of training, and the array of exotic weaponry they wield. Warhammer 40,000 from Games Workshop is notable for taking these aspects to a peak, achieving the ideal "SPACE MARINE" Super-Soldier, augmented with Genetic Engineering or cybernetics (or both!). In many settings they fight as a squad, sometimes with Awesome Personnel Carrier support, swooping down in a Drop Ship, or launched right into the thick of it via Drop Pod. A notable exception to this are the many First Person Shooters that use the Space Marine background as a useful excuse to get a highly trained soldier alone on a hostile planet. This tradition starts with the much-imitated Doom series — see A Space Marine Is You and One-Man Army. This page shouldn't be confused with the video game Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, though that game pretty much is about them. It should be noted that the name "space marine" is actually a misnomer — there's no water in deep space. Works aiming for more realism or a more Ray Gun Gothic feel may prefer to call them "espatiers", and the most direct Latin equivalent for the environment parses as "astroram". But for those wanting more to invoke the Romantic Space Is an Ocean trope the name space marine works just fine. Sometimes, "space marine" is culturally translated into "space [insert badass military unit here]" - for instance in Russia space marines are often called "space landing forces" (kosmodesantniki) after the VDVnote Vozdushno-desantnye voyska, "air-landing forces", often called just "desantniki" (rougly "landers") an airborne unit of the Russian military that has roughly the same reputation as the USMC and Royal Marines in American and British cultures. Note: This trope is about the elite spaceborne soldiers themselves. Overly-generic Science Fiction military protagonists belong elsewhere, such as A Space Marine Is You for video games. Examples

Space Marine / int_124260b5	comment	The Confederation of Valor series follows Staff Sergeant (later Gunnery Sergeant) Torin Kerr, a senior NCO in the Confederate Marine Corps. These marines' primary role is ground combat, not boarding actions. Also the series puts an interesting twist on it: Confederate Marine armor, while powered, is not very bulky at all since it needs to still be usable in case the Others hit them with EMP. Most of their tech is similarly intended to work just as well in its primary function with or without electricity.

Space Marine / int_247422c7	comment	The Royal Manticoran Marine Corps, the People's Marine Corps and their counterparts in various other star nations besides the Star Kingdom of Manticore and People's Republic of Haven in the Honor Harrington series. Grayson is an exception here: they lack a dedicated branch for Marines and use troops borrowed from the Army for the tasks (boarding actions against pirates and planetary assaults) other nations use Marines for. The Manticoran Space Marines use a mix of regular infantry and powered armor with customizable loadouts (for example, high speed long lasting scout configuration or bulkier, slower assault configuration). Troops in powered armor are considered the 'modern' equivalent of tanks. The Manticoran Marines are particularly notable since they are trained to serve both as infantry and to help run the ship they are stationed (mostly as weapon crews and as damage control). This allows Manticoran ships to carry larger marine detachments than other nations since having extra marines on board doesn't decrease the number of people on board who are trained to run the ship.

Space Marine / int_4e5a4630	comment	Of note are the Republic Commandos featured in Star Wars: Republic Commando. While the standard white armored troopers act like standard infantry, Republic Commandos are equipped with better weapons, custom painted and detailed armor and recieve superior training, as well as distinct personalities, which was considered odd, as they're clones and should be carbon copies of each other. Fighting as a squad with mission support, they more closely fit the trope of classic space marines than the other generic clone troopers. But looking back, this became standard among clones in The Clone Wars television series, which (especially after the first season) has a lot of focus on the clones being this trope, and had The Cameo for Delta Squad.

Space Marine / int_53a73ca0	comment	Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The clone troopers got treated as this more and more the further into the series you go; in much of the first season, especially before "Rookies", the clones were mostly grunts who didn't even use cover much like the Mecha-Mooks they fought. Many episodes revolve around this trope as well as The Squad, and they even fight out on the hulls of ships on at least one occasion. A lot of them go on commando style missions, and they hold up well compared to the Jedi, due to teamwork, especially the "ARC troopers" (who are more independent minded clones). Delta Squad, who are this trope first, and clones second, make a cameo, as well as another Republic Commando (who true to the game, is a One-Man Army) in the fifth season. Even more outstanding, is the fact that the lowliest grunt clones can and do get promoted to serve alongside superior types of clones, as happens with Domino Squad becoming ARC troopers. Season 7 introduces the Bad Batch, an experimental group of clone commandos with genetic mutations that set them apart from the rest of the Grand Army. Theyâ€™re basically Delta Squad expies with Bio-Augmentation, and they get their own spinoff, Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

Many warships have dedicated marine squads, usually equipped with Powered Armor and anti-tank weaponry and capable of taking a ship and its defenses by storm. Due to the prevalence of advanced AI and even more advanced gravitics, however, boarding actions are mostly performed against civilian targets, as surprise attacks, or to capture surviving crew after a warship has been damaged or disabled. Trying to teraport troops into a fully functioning warship will end up with the boarders being gravy gunned into gravy long before they become a threat.

Space Marine / int_674f5fd3	comment	The CoDominium series feature the CD Space Navy and Marines and later, the Imperial Marines. The CD Line Marines are formed from the The French Foreign Legion, and thus keep a lot of their traditions alive. The CD Marines armament includes semi-automatic rifles, large-bore weapons loaded with armor-piercing and (sometimes) heavy tanks, with the CD providing orbital fire support up to and including nuclear weapons. The particular Line Marine unit most often featured in the novels is commanded by an officer politically on the outs with the most powerful man in the Grand Senate, and as such they repeatedly get denied proper resources. This can give a misleading impression of the CD Marines in general.

For one thing, he's the dutiful Sidekick instead of the main character, who is introduced to play James Bondage before anything else.

Space Marine / int_73b74949	comment	Every Borderlands game has at least one of the playable characters as basically a former space marine from one of the settingâ€™s corporate militaries. The first and second game feature Roland and Axton, respectively, who both come equipped with deployable auto turrets as their action skill. Roland was a member of the Atlas Corporationâ€™s Crimson Lance, while Axton was a soldier for Dahl. The Pre-Sequel has Athena, who was a former Crimson Lance assassin. She comes with a ballistic shield called Aspis that she can throw like Captain America. The Pre-Sequel takes this trope another step, being set on Pandoraâ€™s moon, with the opening cinematic being the Vault Hunters as a Boarding Party coming to the rescue of the Hyperion Helios Station against Dahlâ€™s Lost Legion Marines. Borderlands 3 has Moze, who was a member of the Vladof corporationâ€™s Ursa Corps, which operates the Iron Bear Mini-Mecha. 3 also has the Vault Hunters land on each planet for the first time via Drop Pod.

That being said, the closest they have to a usable boarding party without resorting to Kroot Mercenaries would be the Breacher Teams; they're all intended for the close confines of urban combat, but they are equipped with Pulse Blasters and Pulse Pistols, which would not be out-of-place in a boarding action.

Space Marine / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: John-117, better known by his rank "Master Chief", whose design been quite influential on post-2001 video games. He is one of the very few survivors of the heavily armored and augmented Spartan-II super-soldiers, who are by far humanity's greatest soldiers. There are also the Spartan-IIIs, who are basically low-budget, expendable Spartans. They're still more badass than almost everything else in the galaxy. In Halo: Reach, centered on a team of Spartan-IIIs, Noble Six alongside Spartan-II Jorge-052 really put the "Space" in Space Marine, as they commandeer Sabre Space Fighters engage in space dogfights, and board a Covenant cruiser. It is technically inaccurate to label the Master Chief or any Spartan as a Space Marine; while they have powered armor and advanced training (plus loads of augmentations), they're all actually UNSC naval personnel, making them closer to Navy SEALs. John-117's actual title and military designation is "Master Chief Petty Officer John-117", which makes him an non-commissioned Naval officer. The Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) better fit this trope, being actual elites within the UNSC Marine Corps; they consider themselves the main rivals to the Spartans, despite being normal humans with unpowered armor. The UNSC's regular Marines themselves sort of count, being the UNSC's main rapid-deployment and expeditionary force. Halo 4 introduced the Spartan-IVs, which, unlike their trained-from-childhood predecessors, are made from adult volunteers, with many of them being, ironically, former ODSTs. They're even more numerous than the IIIs were, with much better equipment to boot (though they're in general less skilled than their predecessors due to a more relaxed selection criteria). Also, the Spartans now have their own separate UNSC branch, meaning they're technically still not Marines.

Applies when you play as a Soldier, Vanguard, or Infiltrator. Though your team in the second game is an even bigger Ragtag Bunch of Misfits than the first, you actually end up boarding more starships, making more rapid insertion operations, and generally behaving more like Space Marines than you do in the first game.

You even meet a few Quarian Migrant Fleet Marines including Kalâ€™Reegar. The third game adds Lieutenant James Vega. All human soldiers seen in the game are Space Marines; the codex notes that the army doesn't exist anymore as a separate branch and the Marines are merely a sub-branch of the navy. Appropriately, Powered Armor, Deflector Shields, coilguns several times more powerful than equivalent modern firearms, genetic/cybernetic enhancements, and omni-tools are standard issue among the grunts. Then again, they're standard for everyone else's grunts as well. In Mass Effect: Andromeda, Alec Ryder and his twin son and daughter are all former Alliance marines. Alec was a legendary N7 Special Forces operative just like Shepard in the first three games, while his son and daughter briefly followed his footsteps as marines before all three of them got kicked out. Squadmate Cora Harper was also briefly an Alliance marine biotic shock trooper before being sent on an exchange program to an asari commando squad. She considers herself an asari commando now.

In the novel Fleet Action, they board a fleet of super-powerful carriers against which the normal weapons (torpedoes delivered by fighters) were useless due to their extreme armor and shielding, for the purpose of detonating antimatter mines inside the carriers. Naturally, this is not survivable for the Space Marines in question, but when the alternative is The End of the World as We Know It...

This classic version of the Space Marine is quite conservative — for example, no Power Armour and generally conventional weapons. Interestingly, the cast was required to read Starship Troopers before filming, a book which is also recommended reading for the Real Life USMC. In addition, figures from Aliens have to acknowledge Games Workshop's registered trademark of the name Space Marine, despite that Rogue Trader came out the year after Aliens. Alien: Resurrection, set centuries after the other movies, replaces them with the United Systems Military.

Star Trek: Enterprise's M.A.C.O.s return as one of the anti-Borg organizations alongside the Klingon Honor Guard and despite the ongoing war between both sides, they've teamed up to create an Anti-Borg Task Force called the Omega Force. There's also the Nukara Strikeforce who are another multi-faction task force who deal with Tholian threats and the new Dyson Joint Command, a joint task force led by the Romulan Republic to push back the Voth from the Solaneon Dyson Sphere. Joining these organizations are the majority of End-Game reputation systems (though the M.A.C.O./Honor Guard/Omega Force existed before the reputation mechanic was put in). Commander K'Tek of the Klingon flagship IKS Bortasqu' is basically one of these. His job title is QaS DevwI', or "troop leader", and it entails leading the ship's embarked troops during boarding actions.

They are basically a vast mass of cannon fodder with shotguns designed to shred soldiers while leaving corridors relatively undamaged to fit with the rules about Imperial Navy commanders not being allowed to have anyone useful in ground actions under their direct command. The Space Marines themselves take part in boarding actions generally only when their own ships are involved (the Space Marines are a separate organisation altogether, it's complicated but there is a reason) and as befitting such elite troops, this generally consists of small squads penetrating to the enemy ship's bridge or engines.

Space Marine / int_90f18253	comment	Battletech: Dedicated 'space marines' are not really a part of the setting: Most other roles you would typically use space marines for is normally done by Battlemechs instead. All 'mechs are spaceworthy as long as they have a Jump Jet Pack and magnetic soles to attach to ships, and are all-terrain vehicles capable of being dropped onto — and operating in — wilderness areas, on airless moons, on heavy or light worlds, and even underwater. Mechs are used both as special ops forces designed to surgically strike targets prior to the main assault, and as Drop Ship-based frontline troops that secure a beachhead when a new world gets invaded. While space-based boarding actions exist in the lore, generally these tend to involve pirates, mutineers or hostage takers (and those seeking to battle them). Boarding a civilian vessel like a merchant craft or JumpShip involves using BattleMechs with magnetic soles to attach to the outer hull and disabling the engines, and then using shuttles of infantry equipped with shotguns, light laser weapons and hull-cutters to sweep the ship and seal the deal. Boarding actions are not considered part of actual space combat doctrine by either the Inner Sphere or the Clans: Anything that carries external weaponry, like a military DropShip, is generally capable of swatting down boarding parties well before they can touch base, and WarShip combat involves kilometre-long ships shooting at each other from distances where boarding is no longer a viable strategy. Powered Armor gets re-introduced to the setting shortly prior to the Clan Invasion, and begin supplanting regular space-based infantry. The smallest suits weigh in at a little over 200 kg and are hermetically sealed, making them capable of cutting into a ship through the docking bays and bypassing the need for 'mechs and boarding shuttles. They are still little more than chaff to point-defence guns, however, and only used against disabled or civilian targets. Heavy suits of power armour are also used to supplement 'mechs during planetary landings, being big and dangerous enough that they can take on BattleMechs (and things intended to fight BattleMechs) while still almost infantry-sized.

Despite all the bulky armour and training and the fact that most of them are Badass convicts that have been brainwashed to risk the life for the force they serve, they happen to be one of the weakest units in the game individually. Goes to show how powerful everything else in the game is. Badass inflation strikes again. It is, however, a testimony to the versatility of the Terran Marines that 'M&M' (Marine and Medic in SC1, Marine and Medivac in SC2) is considered a solid build for most situations and has consistently been a headache to balance against. They're the only cannon fodder in both games with anti-air capability (the Zerg Queen and Protoss Sentry being closer to vehicles and much less expendable).

The principle protagonist, Tanis Richards, though originally a Space Navy pilot and captain and then a military intelligence counter-insurgency officer, served with and was beloved by the Marines in both 5th millennium Sol and 9th millennium New Canaan. Exemplified by the speech Marine Sgt. Hector gives when Tanis is captured in Race Across Spacetime:

It also added many more 'commando' ships, which exist primarily to deliver marines to combat.

Space Marine / int_bb478d5e	comment	Bait and Switch (STO), a Shared Universe of Star Trek Online, has a couple different varieties. The Space Commando role is filled by Starfleet MACOs, who are established in exposition in The Wrong Reflection to be Starfleet special operations troops (i.e. Space Navy SEALs). They're equipped with Powered Armor and better gear than ordinary Starfleet Security personnel. Captain Kanril Eleya has secondary certification as a MACO, though she's primarily a space warfare (i.e. starship combat) officer. Starfleet Security acts as rank-and-file space marines deployed aboard ship. In addition, "Tinker Golfer Doctor Trill" makes mention of the USS Bajor stopping by Andoria to pick up the 103rd Expeditionary Force, which Reshek Gaarra rather snidely refers to as "ten thousand jarheads". In "Last Rights" they operate tanks.

Space Marine / int_bcadd7cb	comment	The setting of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game and assorted derived media, which include computer games, comic books and bestselling novels, prominently features an army of warriors known more properly as the Adeptus Astartes, but most often referred to as simply the Space Marines. Not only is he a holistic Warrior Monk in bulky Powered Armour, who wields a lot of big guns, kills aliens, heretics, and mutants with ease, and knows no fear, he's also a genetically engineered Super-Soldier with a fanatical devotion to the Emperor. In summary, the trope exaggerated. They're generally considered the Spotlight-Stealing Squad of the setting, and have a number of sourcebooks dedicated to them. And if these guys aren't scary enough, you also have the Chaos Space Marines, the belligerent mutated brethren of the Space Marines, who come in all different flavors (from Ax-Crazy to plague-zombies to metalhead drug-addicts to the spirits of deceased Marines bound to their armor long after their bodies had crumbled to dust). Add this to the fact that they serve a host of Eldritch Abominations and even the other Marines are afraid of them. Let's go into what exactly goes into making a 'Space Marine' by 40k standards. Your aspirants are usually natives of a Death World and/or a Proud Warrior Race Guy culture ages 10 to 14, and go through extensive trials to whittle it down to the very best of those. Then comes the Super Serum- the gene-seed derived from the children of a Physical God, which alters your very appearance to be more like your Primarch. Then you have many additional organs and bionics gradually implanted, a second heart, a third lung, acid spit glands, and then you begin your combat engagements as a Scout at age 15 the youngest. If you survive those, you then get the Black Carapace, a large skin implant that interfaces with the Powered Armor you just earned the right to wear. All this time you'll receive training in every aspect of military life and activity, and indoctrinated into a fanatical faith in the Emperor, and undergo difficult and deadly initiation rituals, and constantly monitored for any sign of corruption, weakness or disloyalty. If you survive all that? Congratulations, you're now (at least as far as your role on the tabletop) a disposable shield for a heavy weapons team. And if you survive that and have centuries of battle under your belt, you are given the honor of being part of the 1st Company Terminator squads. And you you manage to survive that you are likely to be a Dreadnought, allowed to sleep in a life-sustaining sarcophagus until you are needed to fight in a 20 foot tall walking machine. The actual Imperial Navy tends to use poorly-trained conscripts for both its boarding actions and its defence against the same. They are basically a vast mass of cannon fodder with shotguns designed to shred soldiers while leaving corridors relatively undamaged to fit with the rules about Imperial Navy commanders not being allowed to have anyone useful in ground actions under their direct command. The Space Marines themselves take part in boarding actions generally only when their own ships are involved (the Space Marines are a separate organisation altogether, it's complicated but there is a reason) and as befitting such elite troops, this generally consists of small squads penetrating to the enemy ship's bridge or engines. Battlefleet Gothic gives the Eldar the option to have Aspect Warrior boarding parties. Depending on which Aspect you consider as making up these parties, the options can turn downright scary. The Tau eschew close combat in normal 40k as well as Battlefleet Gothic; whoever they use as marines are pretty bad at it. Except when his name is Shas'la Kais, in which case he's a Walking Death. That being said, the closest they have to a usable boarding party without resorting to Kroot Mercenaries would be the Breacher Teams; they're all intended for the close confines of urban combat, but they are equipped with Pulse Blasters and Pulse Pistols, which would not be out-of-place in a boarding action.

Space Marine / int_cbad9b62	comment	In Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the Rosen Ritter from the Free Planets Alliance is a notable case. Its members have been consistently regarded as elite soldiers; their standard equipment includes incredibly tough armor that deflects lasers and melee weapons short of their armour piercing axes. They are practically the only group in the series to engage in boarding tactics against enemy ships. Their reputation is so fearsome that as soon as someone on the Imperial side points out that it's the Rosen Ritter, Imperial morale evaporates and in at least one case, they outright retreat in panic. Said case was when the Imperial forces were also wearing heavy power armour and had a numerical advantage of more than 10 to 1.

Space Marine / int_e5d5d23c	comment	"The Space Marine" is the only name given the hero of the Doom series. Among fans, he's acquired the affectionate nickname of "Doomguy". On his guest appearance in Quake III: Arena, he's known simply as "Doom". In the books, his name is Flynn Taggart. In the movie, he was named John Grimm; apparently id Software's sole insistence for the film was that his first name be "John". In the DoomÂ³ novels by Matthew Costello, he was named John Kane (curiously, this is the same surname as the protagonist of Quake IV). In the Doom RPG mobile games he's given the name BJ/Stan Blazkowicz. Doom (2016) follows the fan tradition for the classic games and nicknames him "The Doom Slayer", which is what Quake Champions calls that version of the character. He doesn't have much characterisation as an actual space marine, but the phrase has gone on to become a shorthand for a certain type of FPS character — see A Space Marine Is You.
