Confederate Marine Corps

"Strength. Pride. Discipline."

- Confederate Marine Corps motto

The Confederate Marine Corps is the best known military arm of the Terran Confederacy military, acting to defend Confederate interests along the Galactic Rim. Having existed for more than two centuries, it is older than the Confederacy itself. Many members of the Marine Corps are former criminals who have undergone counselling, drug therapy and neural resocialization. Avaliable positions within the corps were listed by Occupational Field (OF) and included the Preferred Experience Base (PEB) and Occupational Summary (OS) for each Field.

Invasion
It is known that at least one force of Marines was stationed on Chau Sara at the time of the Protoss attack, the same unit being stationed at Fire Base Chimera on Mar Sara, where they defended themselves against Zerg attack. In the last days of the planet, a platoon under Lieutenant L.Z. Breanne was dispatched to recover a psi emitter, making a last stand against the Zerg to buy time for the evacuation of the planet.

Home Ground
The Marine Corps almost certainly took part in the defence of Tarsonis against the Zerg invasion, although are not seen. It is known that the 22nd Confederate Marine Division was present, although was currently employed in the search for November Terra.

Aftermath
With the downfall of the Terran Confederacy, the remnants of the Confederate military was absorbed into its Terran Dominion counterpart.

The Confederate Marine Corps, given how its older than the Confederacy, is likely based on the US Marine Corps, whose founding pre-dates that of the US' establishment as an independent state.
