For the Zhodani Consulate the ZNSLF serve aboard naval vessels in much the same way as Imperial Marines.

Description (Specifications)

The Zhodani Naval Special Landing Force are not a separate branch or service within the Zhodani Combined Intersteller Forces . They are specially selected , trained and equipped members of the Consulate Navy. The ZNSLF is primarily tasked with duties supporting the fleet operations and securing the Consulate naval facilities. Squadrons ( Battalions) are formed in the advent of the seizure and construction of naval bases. The ZNSLF is uniformly trained to operate in hostile environmental conditions such as vacuums, exotic atmospheres, and zero gravity environments.

When the ZNSLF is most frequently encountered it is as ship’s troops about the vessels of the Consulate navy. Crovettes will carry usuailly a section, frigates or corvette transports a Detachment or "half-platoon", Cruisers typically carry a reinforced platoon of these troopers. They are equipped with TL–14 Fusion Weapons and Battledress whenever possible. At the very least they have Combat Armor and Gauss Rifles. The ZNSLF makes extensive use of warbots and when encountered above the Company level the Psionic Detachments are encountered as reconniassence-clairvoyants and telekentic scramblers.

Author’s Note

The creation of the Naval Special Landing Force was non-canon and it attempted to resolve the issue presented in the conflicting canon vs what later became non-canon in the classic traveller universe regarding Zhodani Marines or Army troops as “Ship’s Troops”. I drew inspiration form the Imperial Japanese Navy Special Naval Landing Force of the 2nd World War. Not wanting to mirrior the Imperial Marines, it was the authors opinion the the conception of the ZNSLF filed the niche without creating another cliche.
