Galactic Marines - Cerberus

The Galactic Marines serve as the platoon's dedicated fire support element, bringing heavier firepower to the fight when standard infantry weapons aren't enough. Their role is straightforward, support the platoon by putting rounds on target with weapons the line infantry don't carry.

Their arsenal includes the mortar for indirect fire, the Anti-Material Rifle for long-range hard target engagement, the Automatic Grenade Launcher for area suppression, and the RPS-9 for heavier direct fire needs.

Whether it's breaking up an enemy position, engaging hardened targets, or suppressing a force the infantry can't comfortably push into, the Galactic Marines give the platoon the punch to get the job done.

What the Galactic Marine Detachment Does in the Unit

The Galactic Marines are the platoon's fire support backbone. When the infantry need something hit hard or suppressed at range, the Galactic Marines are who they call on.

Indirect Fire Support Using the mortar, the Galactic Marines can drop rounds onto enemy positions the infantry can't directly engage, breaking up formations, neutralising positions, and clearing the way for an advance.

Hard Target Engagement The Anti-Material Rifle gives the detachment the ability to reach out and deal with armoured vehicles, crew-served weapons, and high-value targets at distances standard rifles can't touch.

Area Suppression The Automatic Grenade Launcher is the detachment's tool for keeping enemy heads down across a wide area, ideal for disrupting assaults, covering withdrawals, or supporting a push through a defended position.

Heavy Direct Fire The RPS-9 handles the serious threats, fortified positions, light armour, anything that needs more than a rifle round to deal with.

Training and Expertise

Galactic Marines learn their weapons inside out, effective range, positioning, when to engage and when to hold. They operate as a coordinated element, not just individual weapon operators. 

Gear and Equipment

The Galactic Marines carry the platoon's heaviest and most specialised kit, each weapon filling a specific role in the fire support mission.

Mortar: The detachment's indirect fire asset. Capable of landing rounds on targets behind cover or out of line of sight, the mortar gives the platoon reach that no other organic weapon can match.

Anti-Material Rifle: A long-range precision weapon designed to engage hardened targets, light vehicles, crew-served weapons, equipment, and high-value personnel at distances.

Automatic Grenade Launcher: High rate of fire, area effect. The AGL is the detachment's suppression tool, capable of saturating a position with grenades to fix or break enemy forces.

RPS-9: The heavy hitter for direct threats. The RPS-9 handles fortified positions and armour that standard infantry weapons can't reliably defeat.

Why Join the Galactic Marine Detachment?

Why Join the Galactic Marines?

The Galactic Marines isn't a role for everyone. It takes patience, coordination, and the ability to read a battlefield, knowing when to fire, where to fire, and how to make every round count.

As part of the detachment you aren't just another rifle in the line. You're the reason the infantry can push forward. You're the one breaking the position they couldn't crack, suppressing the flank that was about to collapse, putting a mortar round exactly where it needs to go at exactly the right moment.

The impact you have on a mission is felt across the entire platoon. A well-placed barrage, a timely AGL burst, a single AMR shot that takes out a crew-served weapon, these are the moments that turn the tide, and they come from you.

If you want a role with genuine strategic weight, where skill and coordination matter more than just being first through the door, the Galactic Marines is where you belong.
