Marine

The Marine is the playable character for the Frontiersmen. As a gun-trotting and highly disciplined soldier enlisted by the Trans-System Authority, the Marine is trained for combat against increasing encounters with the alien creatures known as the Kharaa; in addition, sporting advanced and state-of-the-art weaponry and equipment, the Marine is battle-ready the moment he materializes from the Infantry Portal. A Marine can be selected amongst the squad to become Marine Commander at a Command Station.

Each Marine deployed to the field is equipped with the standard Assault Rifle, Pistol, and Switch-Axe; advanced weapons and equipment must be researched by the Marine Commander and purchased from an Armory or Prototype Lab.

When the Frontiersmen suffer a Marine casualty, the player will respawn at an Infantry Portal in 7 seconds, more if there are multiple casualties.
