Maquis Forces Marine Corps </td> |
"Don't you forget that you're First Marines! Not all the communists in Hell can overrun you!" Fort Detroit, the MNAS-01 (Maquis Naval Aerospace Aviation Starbase) is the official Marine Corps HQ and home to the Marine Schools. Picked as a reminder of what has been positive and negative about Marine Corps in the past, Fort Detroit is where Marines attend Marine Advanced Tactical for a 3 month post-Academy period. Besides going to Fort Detroit and the Maquis Academy for final training and continuing education, many go for the opportunity to enter their names in the MFMC Hall of Honor.The cultural study of a specific alien race. You must choose a specialty from any known races. This provides thorough knowledge of all the alien life-forms of that race, including the race itself. Note that this means Andorians (for instance) must take Terran as a specialization. You must take Xenology: General to take these specializations.
Zero-G Operations
This is the ability to handle yourself in a free-fall or zero-G environment.
Additionally, Maquis Marines who are NCO's or Officers receive advanced training in the following areas: NCO's are your career sergeants. They provide training and leadership to the Privates, Specialists, and Technicians in Maquis Academy. Officers are the real leaders - the power behind the power. All Maquis Marines can expect to go on missions at any time. There are no distinctions due to rank on missions, except for the usual chain of command. Privates with specialized training may be placed on teams with officers, and officers with NCO's, etc. Maquis picks the best men for the job ahead.
MFFMC Advanced Training
There are special schools within the Maquis Marine Corps which confer additional advanced training.
Cadet Cruise
After completing classwork at the Academy, Cadets are usually sent on a one-year cruise in space, where their performance is evaluated by officers in the field. During that cruise, the officer-in-training carries the rank of Cadet (Cdt) or Officer Cadet (OCdt) for the Marines. This rank is considered to be one below Ensign, but still an officer's grade and rank. Sometimes, due to extremely good performance of duties, a Cadet will be promoted to Acting Ensign (with an increase in pay and rank) in the field.
Non-Commissioned Personnel Officers transferring into the Marines from other MFI branches of Service must also go through the three month training, either at MATS, at a Marine training center, or through holo-training when need arises.The Maquis Marine Academy is extremely strict and much more militaristic than the Maquis Academy itself. While the Maquis navy tends to maintain order in a loose but firm manner, some have called the Marine Corps' management techniques stringent or even harsh. Quite simply, Marine commanders do not tolerate anything less than the absolute best in their men, knowing that to do so would risk the lives of others. There is little room for error in such a dangerous and important field, despite the crying of our Naval brethern. The Maquis Marine School at the MFI Academy, located in the Badlands near Maquis HQ, is similar to MFI Fleet training but specializing only in officer training for the Maquis Marines Corps. Twenty-fourth century technology, and particularly Holodeck technology, have made it possible to give rank-and-file soldiers the kind of intensive military training that was the sole preserve of special forces units a mere four centuries before. Maquis Marines are exceptionally well trained and capable, even by Alpha Quadrant standards. They are meant to operate primarily on planetary surfaces, both land and water, but are also trained to participate in space-based operations as well. Their skills reflect the fact that they frequently have to operate in a long-range reconnaissance fashion, often with little or no support from Maquis Naval Forces. Unlike Naval personnel, Maquis Marines must meet exacting physical criteria. They are particularly expected to display above-average intelligence along with exceptional endurance and coordination. Including MATS, there are several post Academy schools, with terms of up to one year. These train individuals above and beyond their basic and advanced training. Though there are other schools, the primary ones are: Marine Advanced Tactical Schools (MATS) All Marine Officers, after graduating Maquis Academy, attend a short term MATS program, to finish their preparation for the rigors of wearing the Marine Green Leatherneck. Select individuals are invited back for terms ranging from six months to a full year at the invitation of MATS instructors.While it is not uncommon for MFI SOD/SSC operatives to train at MATS, members of all of all Maquis Branches can attend MATS for specific course work. Klingon Imperial Marines from KTF take special delight in MATS courses. Rumors holding that the MATS is a front for Maquis Intelligence, and engages in some questionable training practices are just that, rumors. Really, trust us on this. And tell us who told you this rumour? Marine Occupational Specialty Schools (MOS) Maquis Ambassadorial Duties School Force Infantry School Armory: Phaser Cannons
Covers design, construction, repair, modifications, and maintenance of Phaser Cannons, which are used for point defense around a Starship, as well as the transportable models used for ground attack support. There are two types of Phaser Cannons, Light and Heavy. Both are covered by this skill.
Armory: Photon Torpedoes
Covers design, construction, repair, modifications, and maintenance of the ship's Photon Torpedo systems.
Administration
Maquis Protocol
This is the skill used to understand the workings of the Maquis military, its ranks and their meanings and positions, and its own regulations (which are in addition to the regulations of the MFI). It allows you to interact better with other members of Maquis.
Tactics: Small Units
Covers knowledge of military and/or police tactics used in small skirmishes or commando actions, as well as leading or repelling boarding parties. It is useful for security personnel, or anyone commanding a landing party in a known hostile area. Successful use of this skill during battles will sometimes allow you to perceive information about the enemy's immediate plans.
Tactics: Space
Covers knowledge and experience in commanding a Starship in battle. Those choosing to develop these skills can be assumed to be familiar with the great space battles throughout Federation history, and have probably spent many hours in simulation runs recreating those battles and others, even if they have never participated in a real space battle as commander of any Federation Starship. Proper use of this skill will help you deduce in advance enemy military plans. There are separate skills for both Strategy: Space and Tactics: Space. Strategy is for figuring out the plans of the enemy, and Tactics is for planning your own movements. The Space specialization gives students the ability to plot plans in three
Thruster Suit Operations
Covers knowledge of the functions of the Federation Thruster Suit. The Thruster Suit includes a Vac Suit with its normal components. It has a self-powered thruster unit which allows for emergency gateways from the ship or transfers from one ship to another. The design of these suits has been changed since their introduction. They now include more maneuvering thrusters in addition to the main thruster unit. The old-style Thruster Suit had a discardable thruster unit.
Vacuum Suit Operation
Covers knowledge of the operations of the standard Federation Vacc Suit, often called an Environmental Suit. The Vacc Suit is used by Maquis personnel to work in hostile environments.
Xenology: General
The general cultural study of all alien cultures native to the Federation, and those life-forms that the Federation has had contact with. This provides a basic understanding of cultures of all those races, and is used as a prerequisite for further study of individual races by Maquis Academy.
Xenology: (specialty)
