Weapons
Their equipment is similar to fleet standard, but with several noted differences, most of the weapons are fitted with expanded power supplies for covert missions.
Cutlass
It may be ancient, but the cutlass is traditional, dating back hundreds of years. Marines carry them in dress situations and in combat. The modern cutlass has a collapsing blade comprised of a baakonite/tritanium alloy, and can be electrified to be used as a baton during crowd control scenarios.
Type IIIC Phaser Rifle
The marines carry a modified version of this weapon, equipped with an underslung photon grenade launcher, a stun bayonet and an improved holographic targeting system.
Photon Missile Launcher Attachment
Used on "search and destroy" missions, a marine might be outfitted with a photon missile launcher attachment that can be fitted to their sidearm, an enhanced Type IIA phaser.
Type III SOCOM Carbine Phaser Rifle
On covert missions, the marines have been known to carry Type III SOCOM carbine phaser rifles, fitted with various accessories on RIS mounts.

Fighters
Federation Attack Fighter
These Federation fighters carry a crew compliment of 1-2. They are outfitted with at least 2 phaser emitters and 3 quantum torpedo launchers. While slowly being replaced by refitted Peregrine fighters, many are loathe to let these fighters go, as they do have the benefit of quantum torpedoes as opposed to the less powerful photon torpedoes.

Peregrine
Peregrine fighters carry phaser cannons and micro torpedo launchers. They are also outfitted with pylons for fitting up to eight photon torpedoes. It's defenses are deflector shields and decoy drones and it carries 1-2 crew.
Vehicle Type: Warp Pursuit/Patrol Fighter.
Crew: Two (Pilot and Weapon Officer)
Statistical Data: Length: 59.1 feet (24.4 meters)
Height: 19.1 feet (5.82 meters)
Width: 57.4 feet (17.5 meters)
Weight: 27.5 tons (25 metric tons) (Daystrom Institute Technical Library)
Power System: Advanced Micro Fusion with 5 year life span.
Cargo: Small Storage Space, 3 feet x 4 feet x 4 feet. Used for emergency equipment and weapons.
Market Cost: 95 million to construct.
Landing: Fighter is able to land on the ground, but driving on the ground is not possible.
Speed: Sublight: Has a special sublight engine that allows the ship to travel up to 40 percent of the speed of light. Fighter can accelerate/decelerate at the rate of 1.5 percent of light per melee. As an alternative, the starship can reach .99 of the speed of light but is normally restricted to slower speeds so that starship is not effected severely by time attenuation that occurs at the higher sublight speeds. Atmospheric Propulsion: Maximum cruise speed is Mach 8.5, fighter can enter an atmosphere because fighter has anti-gravity systems. Stardrive: Uses a warp engine that allow ship to travel at Warp Factor 4.8 on cruise (0.017 LY / hour), Warp Factor 5.6 Flank (0.036 LY / hour ), and Warp Factor 7.2 Emergency (0.082 LY / Hour). Speed is calculate using a formula designed to emulate Star Trek: Next Generation speeds. These speeds are very slow when compared to Phase World ship, so if used in that universe, they could be increased enough to operate within Three Galaxy speeds but should not exceed them. Maximum Range: Effectively Unlimited by drive system but only has supplies for pilot and gunner for four weeks
