| + | //Under the Integration Act of [[timeline|2488]] many military personnel were detached from their national forces to serve with local governments, private corporations, and allied nations. While most soldiers serve in standing forces under normal military discipline and authority, a significant number of officers and enlisted personnel now pursue their nation's defense as detached soldiers. It’s not for everybody, but many heroes prefer this career path for the flexibility and freedom of movement it allows. Such free-serving soldiers are still subject to changes of duty status and specific assignments; its not unusual for a character to be called up tor duty with a standing force. The privilege of detached service is usually offered only to enlisted personnel and officers with a few years of regular service under their belts: a detached private or junior lieutenant is very unusual. Every [[the_stellar_nations|stellar nation]] maintains a sizable army, and most have commands or detachments serving in the [[the_verge|Verge]]. Naturally, many Verge systems have their own armies, too.// | ||

| + | //**In the Verge:** The [[concord_marines|Concord Marines]] are an elite corps of space-to-ground assault troops. While they're often outnumbered and sometimes outgunned, they're also the only military force free to operate within the borders of all Verge systems. The 151st Marine Expeditionary Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Walther Kiell, uses the [[the_lighthouse|Lighthouse]] as its base.// | ||

| The Soldier is a trained warrior, as good with a gun as he is with a knife or some other melee weapon. Some soldiers come out of formal military programs or law enforcement academies. Others acquire their skills on the field of battle. The Soldier might be a dedicated idealist or a profit-seeking mercenary, a hired gun or a highly skilled adventurer. In all cases, the Soldier learns how to defeat his enemies, to complete his missions, and ultimately, to survive. | The Soldier is a trained warrior, as good with a gun as he is with a knife or some other melee weapon.
