Elite naval commandos of the Die Weltbund marines, similar to Imperial Lift Infantry (or old Terran paratrops) in concept. Instead of dropping from orbital, Luftgrenadiers are equipped with the Wespe flying battledress(designed & built by Mikirimaagii, LTD) with which they drop from landing craft anywhere from suborbital to 1000 km height. Lufttgrenadiers are organized into battalions of 4 companies commanded by a Major, companies of 8 squads commanded by a Captain & squads of 12 troopers + plus one Sergant & Lt. Squads are equipped with a mixture of laser & gauss weapons plus each squad has 1 Longsword Assault Laser (developed again by Mikirimaagii). Naval vessels of less than 5000 tonnes will typically have 1 or 2 squads of Luftgrenadiers. Light cruisers (5000-10000 tonnes) will maintain 4-5 squads. Heavy Cruisers (10000-15000 tonnes) with maintain 1 company. Heavy Carrier & Battleships (15000-40000 tonnes) will maintain 1-2 Battalions.
