Victory Marines


The Starfleet Marines assigned to the USS Victory belong to the Charlie Company of the Starfleet Marine Corps' 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment nicknamed "Shadows". The Squad is primarily assigned to hazard duties, its secondary role is to bolster security on board the USS Victory. Certain members of the team have been added incase Starfleet or the Federation need them on Top Secret Orders that require their skills. The Security Department is responsible for the protection of the interior of the USS Victory and its occupants.

The Victory’s marine unit is 2 squads of 12 men and women, including a minimum of 2 officers and 2 team leader, the unit also has its own flight crew who are also SFMC trained pilots. The entire unit will generally come under the command of the Chief Marine Officer and the Captain of the starship it is assigned to, the units may receive specific orders from Starfleet Intelligence or SFMC Headquarters this will follow the change of command. However because flexibility is the watchword, units can have any number of men and women but the officers are generally the only ones placed in lone assignments. The NCO’s are mainly always in units.
