The United States Colonial Marine Corps (UNSCMC), commonly known as the Colonial Marines, are a branch of the United Americas Allied Command responsible for protecting American colonies and vessels. Because they largely operate far from Earth, the Colonial Marines have a greater degree of autonomy when compared to other armed forces. They have fought on more than two dozen worlds, including Tientsin (8 Eta Bootis A III), Helene 215, Linna 349, BG-386, LV-1201, LV-742 and the infamous Acheron (LV-426).
The National Security Act of 2101 formally established the Colonial Marines and its structure in 2101. In 2600 they were bought by the Weyland-Yutani corporation as they gained more power in Earth's governments. Though they do not directly answer to Weyland-Yutani, they are frequently called upon when company interests are at stake.

Resistance:
USCM:
The battle starts with a Humvee with five Resistance fighters. Four of them dismount and enter a rundown building. One carries an RPG-7 rocket launcher. The other three carry their M4 Carbines and one also has a sawn off Remington 870 with him as well. At the same time, four Colonial Marines enter the same building. One has an M240 Incinerator Unit. The other three carry their M41A Pulse Rifles and one has his Ithaca M37.
One of the Marines pulls out his Motion Tracker to detect any movement. The Motion Tracker picks up the Resistance fighters as they close in. The Marines quickly get into position. A Resistance guerrilla enters the room and, after spotting a Marine, opens fire with his M4 Carbine. The Colonial Marine drops from several bullet wounds. A Marine fires his Pulse Rifle at the Guerrilla, killing him. A shot from an RPG-7 quickly cut the Marine's joy short.
A Marine quickly pursues the RPG Resistance fighter down a corridor with his M240 Incinerator Unit. The Resistance fighter turns a corner only to realize it's a dead end. The Marine stands back and fires a jet of fire at the Resistance fighter, roasting him. As the Marine walked back from the burning corpse, a blast from a shotgun caught him in the back of the head. As the Resistance fighter stepped out of the shadows, a shot from an Ithaca M37 hit him in the heart.
The Marine leader and the Resistance leader started firing their shotguns at each other. The Marine's shotgun quickly ran out of ammunition. As the Resistance leader reloads his shotgun, the Marine picks up a dropped Pulse Rifle and braces it against his hip. The Resistance fighter looks up just as the Marine fires the Underbarrel Grenade Launcher at the Guerilla.

Battle vs. Husks (by BeastMan14)[]
Colonial Marines x6
Husks 
x16
The six marines walked through the war torn Vancouver. They had orders to do a combat drop when suddenly, there had been a bright flash and all hell broke loose. A giant purple ship that looked like a squid completely destroyed their transport ship just seconds after the combat drop began. "What now Sarge?" One of the marines asked. "Simple. We link up with the others and figure out what the hell just happened." Suddenly, a group of figures appeared over the horizon. They looked human, but they were dark blue and seemed almost zombie-like. The sergeant shouted,"I've got contact!" and pulled out his pulse rifle. The troopers on his left and right pulled out their shotguns, and the men behind them readied their pistols and flamethrowers. The creatures lumbered forward, clearly not friendly. The sergeant opened fire, killing two husks, while the others let loose and killed another two. One got up close and forced the Sargeant down and just as it was about to kill him, a marine cut its head off with a clean slice. x11
The Marines were shaken by this encounter when suddenly, a tall, slender, almost feminine monster appeared, escorted by two creatures with cannons for right hands and their mouths stuck in a permanent scream. "Fall back into the buildings mo-ack!" The sergeant cried as he was cut down by heavy fire from the arm cannon creatures. "Sarge!" One of the marines cried out and opened fire with his rifle, blowing the creatures head off while the others retreated. Suddenly, a sniper shot rang out and the man fell dead to the ground with a hole through his head. A Marauder on the rooftops prepared a second shot with his Mantis as the marines reached the safety of a building. x10 x4
"Come in, transport. Come in, marines! Anyone?" A troopers strain cry echoed over the radio. "Damn it, we're all alone out here.' He said. "Here's the plan. We move for that cluster of buildings over there and try find some form of help." He gestures to two of the troopers with flamethrowers. "Cordesky, Rowe, you cover us until Daniels and I make it to the houses." The two move by the door and kick it open as the new leader and Daniels make a break for the houses. Suddenly, 4 human husks come chasing after them followed by a cannibal when suddenly a burst of flame cuts down all the husks instantly and the cannibal
doesn't even get to let an inhuman scream before keeling over. x6 Daniels reaches the house first, and bumps right into a Marauder. Screaming, he fires shot after shot into its chest with his pistol, breaking its shields, only for it to gun him down its Avenger, and get its head blown off by the new Sergeant's shotgun. x5 x3
Coredsky shouts,"Their in the house! Move!" when out of nowhere, two horrific blue hands grip his head and fry him mentally. He lets out a cry, then drops to the ground, dead. Rowe whips around and begins running backwards while firing his pulse rifle at the Banshee, which is accompanied by the last Cannibal and Marauder. He riddles the Cannibal with bullets, killing it, fries the Marauders and Banshees shields and reaches the house. x4 x2
The Sarge cries,"I see a transport of some sort. Stay here! I'll get its attention." He runs up the steps of the house as the Marauder and Banshee burst in. Rowe opens fire with the ammo from the shotgun, blowing off the marauders arm as the Banshee levitates him in the air with Biotics. "Come on, you f*ckers! Finish me off!" Rowe cries just before the marauder riddles him with bullets. Before he dies, he fires one last shot, killing the Marauder. The Banshee, alone, shambles up the steps. x3 x1 The sergeant waves his arms frantically as the transport flies by. It's symbol had an N7 on the side, but he didn't care what it said as long as it saved him and his team. It flew past him, not noticing, as he shouted for its help. With it gone, so was any chance of his survival. He turned to see two husks limping towards him as the Banshee limped up the steps. He let out a cry as he drew his knife and charge at it, hacking and slashing. The Banshee screamed a horrible scream that stunned the man as the husks ripped him to pieces. x3 x0

Battle vs. COG Army, European Union (Battlefield 2142), and German Army (MachineGames) (by Monkey Doctor 33)[]
19th of October, 20XX
The world has seen it, the world has felt it, and the world has suffered from it. The world was once a beautiful place, one whose inhabitants were happy with all the things that existed in life. They've built a civilization similar to ours with a few minor adjustments and advancements. Their cities were once gleaming settlements of glory, tall buildings reflecting their greatness. Monuments were erected to celebrate the peace that was once present on their world.
Once. Now, they have disappeared off the face of this world and their cities were suddenly left in ruins All because of it. Something strange and alien, a destructive object, a cursed weapon no worlds are intended to possess. Wrecked pavements and aged buildings are all that remain in one of their cities. Silence plagues the city. But today, the long silence will at last be broken.
-
Kilometres away from the city's outskirts, two dark helicopters are on their way to the city. Within the vehicles lay twenty soldiers, all armed to the teeth and equipped with thick armor plates. Some of them bring weapons they refer to as regular guns, and one of them brings a curious device that lacks any barrels or magazines let alone bullets. The soldier holding the weapon examines it. "Carmine, you know how to handle that thing?" A Gear sitting next to him asks the soldier.
"Relax! All you gotta do is point and shoot, then let the dawn split!" Carmine replies.
"Damn son, when the fuck did you get so corny?" Another Gear asks.
"Oh, shut up! It's as if they're gonna expect an orbital laser striking right into their asses!" Carmine holsters the Hammer of Dawn to his back, right next to his Gnasher.
"Intel said the Locust might be crawlin' around that city so you better keep your eyes up, Private." A higher-ranking Gear sitting in the corner of the Raven states with a tone of authority.
"Really? Well I honestly didn't get the briefing, but how could the Locust be in a city that literally popped up a few days ago?" Carmine asks with curiosity, inviting the same expression from his squadmates.
"Hate to break it to you, but he has a point. That city appeared on radar a week after Fenix killed Myrrah and it's three hours away from Azura. That ain't suspicious for ya? And for the record, recon ain't got nothin' on that place." Another faceless Gear interjects. He is armed with the first Lancer model and is sharpening his bayonet as he speaks.
"Hmph. Just make sure you hit the right target, Gears. And fuck whoever's in that city. COG said we gon' retrieve something precious, and we gonna get that thing. Don't let anyone else touch it aside from us." The corner Gear said.
"Not gonna be a problem." Carmine responds while getting his Mark 2 Lancer up, ready to fight.
Shortly afterwards, the King Ravens settle down on the outskirts, deploying the battle-hardened Gears. They briefly check their surroundings to see if there are any other hostiles in the area. Seeing that it's clear, the Gears proceed to enter the city without knowing the presence of other factions in the city.

"Is it done, Hans?" A soldier in black armor asks his comrade, who's seen handling some type of gun emplacement with difficulty.
"I, I am not sure if it's a good idea to do this." The operator turns around to look at his squadmate, other similar soldiers also visible in the background as they are seen taking orders from what seems to be the squad leader. Two soldiers, one armed with a shotgun and the other with a white assault rifle, are ordered to stay in the floor. The former is tasked in making sure no one enters the floor and beat their long-range supports who happen to be the operator and sniper soldier.
"What? Of course it's a good idea! You can't lug this thing around on the ground! You'll be a sitting duck." The operator's asked by his friend, armed with a generic assault rifle.
"What if somebody threw in an explosive here? This is literally the third floor of this little building! And..." The operator's complaints are immediately show down by the shotgun soldier.
"That's the reason he and I are here, fool. No one will get through me so shut up and do your job. It's as if anybody's gonna survive the gewehr." His attempts of reasoning failed, and truly the only reason he's saying this is because he's afraid of enclosed spaces. He believes that he'll fare better outside since he can also take down more targets with that gun. But on the other hand he has to worry about flanks. Either way, he forcibly complies.
They are soldiers of the New Reich, the Fatherland's best soldiers and the Führer's favorites. They arrived in the city relatively recently but they've managed to quickly set-up shop and organize themselves. While Hans and the two soldiers may not see much action, they still play their parts. After setting up the MG-60, Hans takes a look at its power level and finds himself disappointed that it's not at full capacity. Somebody didn't get the memo.
"Scheiße! Why didn't they charge this thing the first place?!" Hans curses out in anger right after the other soldiers exit the building. This prompts the sniper soldier to turn at him and respond.
In a laid-back tone he says, "Ja, just wait for it. It still works, right?"
"We're not the Russians, Heinrich. This thing won't do much good with only 75% charge. O, alright it's 77 now."
With a disappointing sigh, Hans replies monotonously, "Fine."
Right before Hans can continue his words, the shotgun soldier turns to them with an ominous sigh.
"You two, did you hear that?"
"What?" Hans' response is answered by the soldier gesturing him (and the other one) to shut up and listen. As they listen, they realize something dangerous and look at each other. What did they listen?
"I don't know about you but that's definitely the sound of a bloated, drunk American!" The shotgun soldier says while cocking his shotgun.
"Those Resistance bastards are here? TERROR BILLY IS HERE?!" Hans overreacts, nearly panicking until the sniper soldier slaps him back to existence.
"Shut up you amateur! Whoever's bringing along that drunkard must be hostiles. Tell the others to remain on high alert. We're not alone in this city." With a confident look, the soldier proceeds to arm his rifle, ready to engage.

"Country roads, take me home... to the place I belong...!" John Denver's hit song is lewdly performed by a colonial marine with an M56 Smartgun. The smell of alcohol is prevalent in his breathe and he clearly doesn't look sober. Nobody really knows why he's put in the team, but a task is a task and he can't exactly be expelled. Besides, who else slings the Smartgun better than Lieutenant Henry 'Scraps' Williams.
"Oh for God's sake, shut the hell up Scraps! This ain't the bar anymore, and I reckon the bugs can hear ya!" Corporal James "Hands" Henriksen attempts to return Scraps to reality, shaking him round and round after saving him from a fall.

Battle vs. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (by Wassboss)[]
A squad of 5 ODST make their way towards an old UNSC base. They are checking to see if the covenant is still in their base and if not should they consider using it as a base again. The head marine ,captain jones, beckons too his sniper too go ahead into the building and find a good sniping spot. The man nods his head and jogs into the building, finding a good spot which overlooks the whole base. The rest of the troopers enter shortly afterwards and make their way across the walkway. Suddenly a shot rings out and one of the men fall's dead, a large hole in his forehead. (5-4)
5 minutes earlier
5 colonial marines enter the old ODST base, checking it for any signs of Xeneomorphs. They make their way up to the 3rd floor where one of them takes out a sniper and surveys the floor below, just encase any hostile threat's enter the building. "See anything" the commander shouts to the man. "Nothing yet sir" the marine says glancing away to answer. He looks back through the scope and sees 4 men in strange uniform's entering the building. Thinking that then men might be trying to breed the xenomorphs for warfare, he aims at the one at the front and fires.
The 3 ODST troopers look around in shock but can't seem to see their attacker. The ODST sniper worriedly scans the building for any snipers. He spots one on a ledge, pointing his sniper down at the troopers. Quick as a flash he points his sniper at the man, aims through the scope and fires. The enemy sniper drops his rifle and rolls off the edge of the ledge, a bullet hole in his eye. (4-4)
The Marines turn in shock and make their way towards the ledge. They look down and spot the ODST troopers on the ground floor. Clenching his fist in anger, the marine commander orders his men to head down to the ground floor. The men obey and sprint down the steps, with their commander not far behind. They get down too the ground floor and open fire with their pulse rifle's. The ODST troopers are caught off guard but manage to get behind cover, before firing back at the strange new soldiers. One of the marines collapses to the floor, riddled with bullets. (3-4)
This only makes the marines fire more aggressively and the ODST troopers are forced to retreat or risk being killed. As they are retreating one of them falls over, his back covered in holes. (3-3)
The Marines roar in victory and chase after the retreating Soldiers. One of them turns a corner and is sent flying back, hitting the wall and not moving. (2-3)
Captain Jones pumps his fist in the air and runs up the stairs as pulse rifle bullets go flying past him. The Marines run out of rifle ammo and take out their Shotguns and carry on their chase of the Hostiles. The ODST run across a walkway and Captain jones gives a thumbs up to the sniper. The Sniper nods his head and aims his sniper downward, ready for anything that comes across the walkway. A marine runs across the walkway and the sniper fires, hitting the man in the back of the head. (1-3)
The commander looks in shock as his last teammate is killed. Realising their is a sniper above him he makes his way up the last of the stairs and spots the sniper. Slowly sneaking up behind him he places the the shotgun behind the sniper head. He smiles and pulls the trigger, blasting the brains of the trooper all over the place. (1-2)
He then goes back down the stairs and runs over the walkway. He hears breathing coming from behind a doorway and jumps aside just as an ODST trooper bursts out and fires his shotgun, the pellets hitting the wall behind the commander. The Marine aims his shotgun upwards and fires, leaving a wide spread of pellets in the Troopers chest. (1-1)
Captain jones appears from around the corner to see what the noise was all about. The Marine commander gets up and fires his shotgun, but all that comes out is that age old clicking sound. Discarding it for his combat knife and steps aside as Jones fires his shotgun, grazing the commanders arm. The commander lunges forward and rugby tackles jones to the floor. Jones barley has enough time to pull out his knife and blocks a strike from the combat knife. He pushes the commander off him and get into a fighting stance. The Marine lunges forward again but this Jones is ready. He steps to the side and tries to stab the marine in back but he expertly blocks it and hooks them knife out of Jones hand. He then lunges forward and stabbed the ODST captain in the leg. Jones roars in pain and boots the commander in the face. He then pulls out the marines knife and advances on him. The Marine tries to escape but Jones is too fast and plunges the knife into the marines neck. (0-1)
Jones drops the knife and pants heavily. He takes out his radio and speaks into the speaker. "Base is secure all hostile threats eliminated over" he says and the radio crackles into life. "Rodger that were sending a helicopter for you captain, you going to go pick up SPARTAN-B12 over". Jones turns off his radio and surveys the carnage. Shaking his head he makes his way down the stairs and waits for the helicopter.
