Halo Wars World

The backbone of UNSC ground forces is the Marine.  The UNSC Marine Corps can trace its roots back all the way to the United States Marine Corp, formed in the 18th century.  The people behind the triggers haven’t changed a great deal in all these years, far less so than the theaters of operation.  Marines first started setting foot on other planets during the Interplanetary War (2160-2170), taking the fight to Mars and officially becoming the UNSC Marine Corps after their victory in that conflict.

Marines come equipped with a variety of weapons, but generally it’s the MA5 series of rifles.  A squad of marines can lay down some impressive firepower, and can even damage armored vehicles with a volley of grenades or rockets if they’re available.  Versatile, relatively cheap to equip, and fast get on the ground, Marines are a potentially strong force to put into action.  En masse, they haul around enough firepower to put the hurt on just about anything an enemy can field.
