The [LMC] - for Liberty Marine Corps, is my attempt to RP as Liberty military on a wider and more independent way. Attached to the Navy, and yet much more versatile, with a certain history and tradition based on the contemporary aura that we have of the USMC. I expect out of it also more forum-based RP, along with good interactions on server.
Being non official faction, I guess you can put on the tag if you feel like it without advising me, or make a tag of your own, but it would be nice if we could organize ourselves together, in order to form a hierarchy to make it easier to RP it out - even though so far, I am the only one using the tag.
Hope you folks like the idea.
The Few, The Proud.
The origins of the LMC goes as far back as the traditions of what was once known as the United States Marine Corps goes; well before the colonization of Sirius. Historically speaking, the modern Liberty Marine Corps however was introduced roughly at the same time the Liberty Navy itself was officially established. It has ever since worked closely with the Navy and participated in every major conflicts involving Liberty so far.
Purposes
Originally founded to provide infantry support on Navy vessels, the Marine Corps has ever since acquired considerable independence and operates its own flotilla of spacecrafts and armored land crafts, able to fight on planet and in space and its own logistic units. Nowadays, aside from serving as infantry aboard naval vessels, the LMC is described as a "spaceborne" force, acting as a first line to assault enemy positions in order to support Naval operations. However, reality is that the LMC is deployed in any battlefield of expeditionary nature using the mobility of the Navy.
Arsenal
A Stryker starfighter, the standard multirole fighter used by the LMC
"All Marine is a rifleman" remains true even eras after Liberty succeeded to the United States of America; most of the Marines are infantrymen and their standard issued weapon is the Mk-6A2 laser rifle. Officers and NCOs are issued a Mk-9 laser pistol.
Heavier weapons include Mg-10 pulse machine gun and Mg-11 pulse machine gun, G-1 type rocket launcher system, etc.
The LMC also possess land warfare vehicles (Ml-11 Jefferson medium battle tank, Ml-09 Roosevelt troop transport to name a few) divided between tracked or hover armored crafts.
As well, the LMC operates squadrons of starfighters, most notably the "Striker" multirole fighters which are used as close range assault craft. Reconverted Gunships are often used as troop transporters, as well as freighters. Other crafts in LMC arsenal include bombers and a wide variety of utility crafts.
Ranking
Despite the LMC having naval roots, the hierarchy structure is more similar to that of the Army;
Here's a rough comparison between ranks;
LMC - LN
General of the Marine Corps - Admiral of the Liberty Navy
Brigadier General - Vice Admiral
Colonel - Captain
Lt-Colonel - Commander
Major - Lt-Commander
Captain - Lieutenant
First Lieutenant - S-Lieutenant
Second Lieutenant - Ensign

1) LM and LN are awfully close to one another. Sort of like if I made an Internal Police Incorporated and had IPI versus LPI flying side by side. LMC would ease this issue I suspect.
2) I ran out of things to critique. I presume you're looking to employ the LN ID and such? Color me intrigued. About time we saw the men's department of the navy.
Interesting idea, A couple of questions and comments:
The [LM] tag is very close to the Official faction [LN] tag...perhaps [LMC] might keep people from confusing the 2...
A ship listing would be a good idea.......Seeing as this is the Marine Corp, I would suggest nothing bigger than a gunboat, and only 1 or 2 for top commanders. The Traditional Marine Corps depend on the Navy for the bigger firepower.
I would also suggest some sort of "Gator Freighter" to haul your Marines and their gear around in. Perhaps Something like the prison liner or the CT-53 Civilian train? (You will have to use something under 3800 cargo due to ID restrictions)
Other ships you could use are the Grizzly and armoured transports .
As for Fighters, the Liberty and Civilian lines would work for you.
There is a gent who RP's as a Marine officer, with a large ship, his character's name is Jimmy Patterson, catch up to him, I am sure he would be more than helpful.
Good Luck, and maybe we will see some footage of Troops dropping on New Berlin (Ducks as Strudel gets thrown his way)

If someone RP's Marine Corp Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey, this might be realllll interesting.

So I take it you're looking at the LN ID?
