Void Marine

Heavy boarding trooper.

The Void Marine is not a Soldier who trained in zero-G. The Void Marine is the Legion's dedicated boarding specialist -- trained from recruitment to fight in Vacuum, in zero gravity, in the screaming chaos of a hull breach where one missed step means drifting into the black. The Void Marine is the first through the hatch because the first through the hatch is statistically dead, and the Void Marine has made peace with statistics.

Asset Realisation books the Void Marine as "assault capital -- expendable." Boarding actions have a 60% casualty rate. The corps factor this into the budget. A Void Marine who survives ten boardings is reclassified as "assault capital -- veteran" and assigned to the next ten. A Void Marine who survives twenty is either a legend or a statistical anomaly, and the corps do not believe in anomalies. The Void Marine's powered armour costs more than the Void Marine inside it, and the armour is recovered whether the Void Marine is still breathing or not.

The Void Marine fights in environments that kill baseline humans in seconds. Hard Vacuum. Zero gravity. Hull breaches that vent atmosphere and pull bodies into the void. Radiation leaks from damaged reactors. The Void Marine's training is not about surviving these conditions -- it is about fighting through them long enough to complete the objective before the conditions win.

Operating on the Combat chassis (d10 HD, full BAB, Fort/Will good, Ref poor, 4 SP). All armour including powered assault frames -- the Void Marine is a walking bulkhead. Prime requisites: STR, CON, WIS -- the body, the lungs, the discipline to hold position when the hull breaches and everything not bolted down is screaming toward the void.

Notes

Archetype Niche: Heavy boarding specialist. The Void Marine excels in ship-to-ship assault, zero-G combat, and vacuum operations. No other class matches their ability to fight through a breached hull without penalty. Their niche is the first 30 seconds of a boarding action -- the most lethal 30 seconds in naval combat.

Multiclass Notes: Void Marines can multiclass with Soldier and Officer archetypes. Non-human void marines use simultaneous multiclassing rules.
