The Marine Contingent on Starbase 118 Operations are the exhilerating 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.
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 speciailists 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.

Starbase 118 Marine Contingent

The Marine Contingent on Starbase 118 Operations are the exhilerating 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.

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 speciailists 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.

"A Marine should be sworn to the patient endurance of hardships, like the ancient knights; and it is not the least of these necessary hardships to have to serve with sailors."
