History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The name Marine is a simple derivation from the descriptive term "A soldier in the Marine Corps". The "Marine Corps" in this description was, however, one serving pre-space wet-navies (the "Marine" being another name for "Sea") where those troops conducted "Expeditionary" and "Amphibious" operations. With the move into space, the "Amphibious" part of the term passed elsewhere.
The term, in the Imperial Marines, was listed in the documents establishing that Corps granted by Cleon I in the year 0.
