In 2100 the Marine corp. adopted a versitile aircraft. The V-23 Osprey. The V-23 replaced its sister the V-22 due to the ever changing battle front. It was first seen in the war between the United States and North Korea. The V-23 has been customized for orbit to ground operations. Instead of twin rotor wings, the V-23 was equiped with three highly powered jet aspect reentry engines. Two of which are attached to the twenty foot wing on each side. At the tail of the aircraft is the third engine which provides faster speed's. The V-23 has an attached mid-air fuel rod extending in front of the aircraft. For weaponry this bird can pack a punch. It has a side mounted .50 cal machine gun, and for the Mk II version carries a .50 cal machine gun, a grenade launcher, and a mini gauss cannon. Both versions carry two side window gataling guns or can be fitted with .50 cal machine guns as well. Standard paint jobs do not dissapoint. The V-23 has dark grey tiger stripes running verticly on a lighter shade of grey surface. This craft may be referred to at times as an O.D.S. ( Orbital, Drop, Ship )

For ground transport the marines rely on the one of the oldest vehicles that have been in service, the humvee. With the new technologies that have been offered have changed the humvee in many ways. The humvee's engine has been re-designed to still move fast while having new armor and weapons attached to it. In days of new planets that can house life are being discovered. So in spite of this the humvee has had many modifications to self inflating wheels and suspension. The humvee is outfitted with a .50 cal machine gun, grenade launcher, and a EMP rifle.

Vector class ships are what make America's space navy. The U.S.S. Gordon is one of those ships. Stretching to about two miles long and one fourth of a mile wide makes this ship perfect for exploring new worlds. Each side of the ship is lined with twenty deck guns and fourty 400 mml cannons. It has two main engines and two slip drive engines. Hanger bays are located towards the middle of the cruiser with a huge door that covers the hangers. These ships have been referred to as "The dogs" due to how the ship looks when the hanger door is open.

Four types of weapons that are standard in the military. The XM8 has been battle tested and is very reliable. A very complex LMG or may be reffered to at times as the "saw" thanks to the sound it makes when shooting down range. The G18 is used to its rapid fire ability and has saved many lifes. This weappon has been used for a very long time, the barrett .50 cal sniper rifle. It is favorited by sniper teams and recon units.

That is as much decllassified information I am able to give to you. Please enjoy the story of Sgt. Glenn and his adventure on planet xiophous.
