Liberty Marine Corps

[Unseelie]

A while back, there was a Liberty cruiser that RPed as a troop transport..It would fly right up against Crete, or other such planets (I only ever saw it at Crete) and talk about getting its special forces onto the ground, even under extreme enemy fire. It had wonderful RP, and as such, I can't see why this idea shouldn't go forward.

What I do wonder about is why it would be separate from the LN. Certainly the LN should employ troop transports?

As for the cap issue, I've often claimed that the Bretonian gunboat carries a crew of 8 as well as 5 marines and a brig for 3...if you dedicated a Liberty gunboat, you could easily fit 7 or 8 marines on each...and a few dozen on a cruiser. Armoured Transports are another vessel that could be claimed to hold a great deal of marines, and they are really rather unappreciated as far as their combat ability.

EDit: as TLD Dark says, Liberty doesn't need any ground forces right now...but Bretonia and Kusari, who are at war, and ultimately trying to capture one anther's planets, Do need them.
