Would this man, could he see you now, ask why?."

Weapons Compliment

The Marine Contingent on StarBase 118 Operations are the exhilarating "Dangerous Company." They are a new Platoon assigned to the StarBase for extra Tactical aid during hard times and hard missions. They are the best in their chosen fields, hand-selected by Major Hebert himself to occupy the StarBase.
A Starfleet Marine is sworn by an pledge with withhold the values of Starfleet and the Federation. They are bound by duty to protect and to serve the Federation, sometimes by any means necessary. It is interesting to note that the Marines' oath is to the United Federation of Planets and not to Starfleet, although they bare the name. In any situation in which Starfleet as a military arm opposes the Federation, the Marines are obliged to defend the UFoP against Starfleet.
In their contingent, the Marines are part of a selective group including fighters, heavy armoured units and land vehicles. All are maintained by the Engineering Department on the StarBase.




Dangerous Company

Dangerous Company is divided into three squadrons, commanded by Squad Leaders. This makes it easier for orders to be distributed and objectives to be carried out. Each squadron consists of ten, men and women, who are specialists in their fields of study. Some Engineers, others Scientists, more than not most work with Demolitions or are qualified Pilots. Whatever their occupation, the Marines are trained for heavy-duty battle scenarios that Flag-Officers would have to withdraw from. They are the back-up for the back-up.

On the StarBase, the Marines of Dangerous Company are required to respond and report to the Tactical and Security departments. They must be avaliable for extra Security when needed and respond diligently. Each member of the Marines detachment is fully trained in both StarFleet Security and Tactical, so they can take the place of said Officers in the event of an emergency.

It's not unheard of for Marines to do Bridge duty, however, they have a semi-Bridge in their facility named the CIC. This hub of sorts acts as their Control Room for deployment of equipment and troops, managing their duty rosters and maintaining contact with their platoon at all times during Away Missions. The CIC Controllers work closely with the Bridge Officers to coorindate resuce operations and on base militar presence when required.
