Lunar Marine Corp's Vehicles

 Having completed my Lunar Marines force I realised they did not have any heavy support.

So a quick order to Pendraken and soon reinforcements arrived.  

The Lunar Marine force moves out to attack the enemy

APCs - Can carry a squad of 6 marines. The crew can fire the 30mm gun in support.

Tanks - the main strike force

Transports - when you need to take all your oxygen as well as your ammo.

Now all I need is a Lunar Base to attack.

United States Lunar Marine Corp

In the late 21st Century the moon wars intensified and the United States set up the Lunar Marine Corp to defend their bases and to attack those of their enemies, the Antarctic Space X Corporation and the Amazon Lunar Corporation.

Here are some pictures of the US LMC in a lunar assault training mission during a rare period of peace.

Their standard assault vehicle is the Super Eagle Drop Ship that can land 8-10 troops anywhere on the Moon from either a Lunar Base or an orbiting space station.

Most troops are armed with the Lunar M16L assault weapon. One team per platoon carry Lunar SAW and AT / AA missiles. Platoon Commanders are accompanied by a Laser Designator for sub orbital munitions.

Botany Bay Penal Corporation

The Botany Bay Penal Corporation is a business whose role is to manage the prisons and prisoners of the 25th century. The Botany Bay Penal Corporation provides prisons and rehabilitation facilities for the various wrong doers of the future.

In a full capitalistic society no resource can go to waste. Colonies, NGO's, companies and scientific experiments who need muscle contract with the Botany Bay Penal Corporation (BBPC) to provide soldiers and workers.

Each prisoner is fitted with an explosive collar that can be detonated by management if they attempt to escape or evade their responsibilities. Other prisoners also enforce the management's will by ensuring any deviant is quickly neutralised. If sufficiently provoked management will engage in a decimation where one in ten prisoners will be randomly detonated, so there is an incentive for all prisoners to control the others.

Here is a few pictures of a Moon Base in 23-SC9 where a small BBPC assault team has set up a forward operating base to stop piracy in the Orion Sector. An airless moon the BBPC assets are all in their traditional orange space suits.

I do have to build a better moon base for these battles.
