- Does Star Fleet have a version of the space marines? With the tech in
- ST, I think you could build a infantry force on the scale of Heilein's
- _Starship_Troopers_. I think the Aliens from the movie are kind of like
- the "bugs" in _Starship_Troopers_, too. (flame away :-) )
-
- think about some of the things the Enterprise can pull:
- come into a system at warp
- transport thousands of troops with all their equipment anywhere on
- the surface.
- unload a couple of modified shuttles for extra fire power
- then warp out to engage any hostile vessels.
-
- Did you want the story in deep space or enclude a planet?
