Marines

The Marines Class, Naval Class, or Navy Space Class was a standard division of troops in most navies. It consisted of Marines (or Navy Troopers) who often were armed with portable rocket launchers for demolishing enemy ships, as well as regular blaster rifles and thermal detonators.

This Navy branch was mainly a defensive guard for capital ships. However, they, like army pilots, could take control of a starship cockpit and thus fight in space, but under command of a navy rather than an army.

The most famous Naval marines were the Galactic Marines under command of the 21st Nova Corps during the Clone Wars and the Imperial Navy Troopers of the Imperial Navy.
