The Marines are a valiant force of soldiers from the Trans-System
Authority, the military arm of the Terran Empire. Authorised
for autonomous command and deployment, they have been sent
to investigate the loss of several space vessels in the outer
sectors of the galaxy. Well equipped and disciplined, they
are the only defence humanity has against the Kharaa.
Capable
of deploying to the decks of a derelict space vessel and setting
up a self sufficient base of operations, the Marines can quickly
sweep a ship for the alien bacteria infestation. Once the
Kharaa is detected it will spontaneously grow a Hive and begin
spawning mobile lifeforms. The Marines must set up a defensive
perimeter, access upgrade technologies and deploy weapons
and equipment to do battle with the aliens and clear the ship
of infestation.
Equipment
available to the Marines, once the relevant upgrades are completed,
include shotguns, heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, jetpacks,
suits of hydraulic heavy armor and the almighty Seige Cannon.
By
researching, building and equipping, the Marine's objective
is to systematically expand and gain control of sections of
the ship, edging the alien infestation back to its hives and
destroying these monsterous biological factories. Victory
can only be achieved by clearing the ship entirely of the
alien presence.
