Marine

Marines are the first line of defense for Terran planets in the Koprulu sector. Under the old Confederacy, the majority of Marines were criminals or rebels who had undergone mandatory neural resocialization to ensure their absolute loyalty. This practice has been reportedly scaled back, but it remains common due to insufficient volunteers to serve in the military. The heavy armor worn by Marines is effective against small-arms fire and provides them with full life support and NBC (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical) shielding for operation in deep space and other hostile environments. Marines are armed with C-14 Impaler Gauss Rifles that fire 8mm metal spikes at hypersonic speeds.

Field manual

Strong Against

Weak Against

Light infantry that can attack both air and ground targets.
Well-rounded unit suited for a wide range of combat situations.
Cheap to produce but fragile. Strong in numbers and when backed up with different units like Marauders, Hellions, Siege Tanks, Medivacs, etc.
Position them on high ground and choke points whenever possible.
Can go inside bunkers for protection and a range increase.
Vulnerable to splash damage from Colossi, Psi Storm, Siege Tanks, etc.

Tech Lab Upgrades

Combat Shield: Marines gain +10 hit points.
Stimpacks: Combat stimulants that increase movement and attack speed at the expense of health.

Countermeasures

VS Terran

Place bunkers in key places to stop enemy Marines.
Hellions are good against Marines.
Build a few Tanks and use Siege Mode.

VS Zerg

Get Roaches; they are quite hardy and decimate Marines.
Research Metabolic Boost and surround them in the open with a large group of Zerglings.
Use other units to draw their fire and send Banelings in from different directions.
Ultralisks are an excellent counter, as are Brood Lords using terrain to their advantage.

VS Protoss

Attack with a large group of Zealots. Try to surround the Marines. Charge is very useful.
Build a few Sentries. Use Guardian Shield to protect your warriors, and Force Field to separate enemy troops or block their escape route.
The Colossus can be devastating against Marines, as can the High Templar’s Psionic Storm ability.
