| ===Marines===
| |
| Starfleet has, from the very beginning, employed a infantry force similar to the Marines of the bluewater navies. Prior to the establishment of the [[UFP]], the Military Assault Command Organization (MACO) had formed from the remnants of the greater armies of [[United Earth]] and was used primarily as peacekeepers, at relatively heavily reduced numbers. Following the creation of the UFP [[Starfleet]] in [[2161]], the MACOs were broken away from the similar expeditionary forces of other members to form Starfleet Security, primarily concerned with providing installation and starship protection. The remaining ground forces were re-formed as the Starfleet Ground Attack Marines (SGAM). On the 100th anniversary of the Federation and the SGAM, the force formally became known as the Starfleet Marine Corps (SMC).

| ====Marine Reserves====
| |
| Former active Marines that have agreed to be called upon when needed to fill in under-strength Marine units or comprise whole Marine units themselves. Their combat value is the same as for a Militia, but they are able to be deployed off-planet.
| |
|
| |
| ===Militias===
| |
| Military units that are 'homegrown', rarely moved off-planet. Their mission is the protection and defense of the planet. They are comprised of units similar in size and structure as the Marines, but are not considered to be as well-trained. Where each Marine is equivalent to 1 point, Militia members are half that (0.5 points).
| |
|
| |
| ===Special Forces===
| |
| Starfleet employs several different combat specialist forces, known as MeSONs (Military Special OperatioNS), commandos used to covertly insert and fight unconventional small-scale battles. The Mesons are often attached to command ships and some starbases.

| ===Starfleet Corps of Engineers===
| |
| Initially (and informally) formed in [[2156]], the SCE was responsible for the construction of Starbase 1. Following its completion, the cohesive unit was employed to build other projects of special interest to Starfleet, eventually becoming a large force unto themselves. They are often deployed in battalion sizes of 600 'Bees', but are organized into regiments, five battalions each. They can be found on select starbases and they also maintain their own (outdated) starship fleet (comprised of ships that would otherwise be decommissioned) for their 'legion' of rapid-reaction troubleshooters.
| |
|
| |
| When required to take part in combat, the SCE can defend themselves at half the strength of a similarly sized Marine unit (i.e., 0.5 points per engineer).
| |
|
| |
| ==Expenses==
| |
|
| |
| There are two costs associated with a military unit: initial purchase and operational.
