Elite naval commandos of the Die Weltbund marines, similar to Imperial Lift Infantry (or old Terran paratroops) in concept.

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 Sergeant & Lieutenant. 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.
