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.

Weapons Compliment

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.

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.
