Azerothian Marine Corps

The Azerothian Marine Corps is the name given to the space-based infantry utilized by the Kingdom of Azeroth. The soldiers of the Corps are tasked with defending Azerothian vessels, performing boarding actions, and are often the first boots on the ground in planetary invasions.

Created in 198 as the 12th Legion of the Stormwind Army, the 12th Legion were the first armed soldiers to enter space alongside the first prototype ARK ships.

The Marine Corps is split into three corps, with two specialist regiments in the form of the 12th Parachute Regiment and 18th Parachute Regiment who specialize in stealth incursions.

Members of the Marine Corps are soldiers who are given the same training and equipment as the Azerothian Guard's Hellraisers, and as such are often confused. Due to the close confines with which the Marine Corps operates, melee weapons remain a favorite of the marines.
