The Federation Marines are a small force of Mobile Infantry troopers stationed at and assigned to defend Fleet ships and installations.
History[]
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder[]
For Sky Marshal Omar Anoke's visit to a Federal base on Roku San, Marines were assigned to guarding him. When landed at Roku San, the Sky Marshal inspected the base with an M.I escort whilst his Marine guards stayed with the Admiral's Boat. During this time, however, the base's defenses failed, flooding it with Arachnid Warrior Bugs, and Anoke's Marine guards went out in search for the Sky Marshal, eventually finding him along with General Dix Hauser. Anoke was then escorted safely from the planet to the Geronimo.
When the Geronimo was later hit by bug plasma Captain Lola Beck insists the Sky Marshal abandon ship and ordered the Marines to meet up with an escort the Sky Marshal to the Admiral's Boat. The Marines, however, were unable to reach the Sky Marshal and abandoned ship on the Admirals Boat, whereas the Sky Marshal used an escape pod.
The Marines aboard the Admiral's Boat were all suffocated on route to OM-1 due to an air leak. Their bodies and the Admiral's Boat were later found by the survivors of the Geronimo.

A marine unit designated Elite Guard was present at Fort Casey where it operated under Military Intelligence.
All remaining marines aboard the John A. Warden were killed when the Queen Bug took control of the ship; the bodies of several of them later being found in the ship's engine room alongside Warrior Bug corpses. All marines aboard the Alesia were later killed when the Queen used energy weaponry to destroy the ship.

The Marines wear very similar uniforms to the Mobile Infantry with body armor and the same helmet as the Mobile Infantry. However, the helmets are painted green to indicate them as Marines and their uniforms underneath are the same as Fleet jumpsuits.
Notes[]
- It is unknown as to which branch the Marines officially fall under; Mobile Infantry, Fleet, or their own separate branch. However they use the same rank structure as the M.I., and in both Starship Troopers: Invasion and Starship Troopers: Invasion "Mobile Infantry", the K-12 troopers refer to each other as "marines" despite being M.I. troopers. This would imply that Marines are a detachment of the Mobile Infantry which are stationed at Fleet ships and installations, or a division of both, instead of being their own separate branch.
- In the Spanish dubbed version of Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, they are referred as "marines" as well, while they are not in the Latino version.
