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. | The '''Marine Contingent''' on [[StarBase 118]] Operations are the exhilarating "Dangerous Company."

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. | |||
