Marine Armor

About the Marine Armor

Built for the brutal close work of boarding actions and planetary assault, marine armor is the medium plate of shock troops who expect their battles to be fought in corridors, breaches, and the teeth of enemy fire. It is rugged where a scout's kit is subtle, layered composite protecting the wearer through the ugly business of clearing a ship deck by deck or storming a fortified beach. Naval infantry and assault marines across many militaries wear versions of it, valuing durable, dependable coverage over sleekness. It stands up to the shrapnel and point-blank bolts that define its wearer's world while still permitting the mobility a soldier needs to fight through a hatch or over a barricade. It is not the heaviest armor a body can wear, but for the marines who carry it into the hardest fighting, it is the right balance of shield and speed.
