New Luna Militia

Introduction
Formed in 3001 upon the death of Earth, the New Luna Militia was tasked with keeping order on New Luna, and given a paltry armed Chandler and 150 Lunite Militiamen with which to do so. In 3003, they gained full autonomy during the Moebius Effect, gaining hundreds of thousands of refugees to watch over. It has since grown to a force of almost 5000 and a little over half a dozen spacefaring vessels, with another dozen seafaring vessels under its command as well. Their flagship is the NLM Franklin, a Wolf Class Frigate. Recently the base of Fleet Operations is slowly being transferred to Hancock Station.

The New Luna militia is split into four branches: Land, Sea, Air/Space, and Support. Many of these branches serve double duty in a civilian function. For example, several branches of the Marines serve as a police force, and several branches of Engineering serve in Utility Service functions.

Ranks
The Militia uses the same rank structure for army, naval and marine forces.

Police
Luna grey half-turtleneck wraparound pleated tunic with midnight blue piping, gray trousers, black belt, a black holster for each weapon, black boots, standard-issue pulse pistol and nightstick.

Space Navy
Midnight blue pressed collared shirt, black trousers, black boots. Rank on left arm. Command: Silver armband on upper right arm. Pilot: Yellow armband on upper right arm. Medical: White armband on upper right arm. Communications/Navigation: Green armband on upper right arm. Engineering: Orange armband on upper right arm. Security: Purple armband on upper right arm. Weapons: Red armband on upper right arm. General Operations: No armband. Marines: White armband with MARINES in (big) black lettering. As the only branch of service with their branch spelled out for them on their arm, the marines take some good natured ribbing from the other parts of the militia for not being able to remember an assigned color.

Duty Uniform
For the majority of planetary operations, the NLM wear a fractal camoflauged uniform. The green, brown, and grey uniform consists of a blouse complete with a grey undershirt, trousers complete with (mostly unworn) grey, crime fighter style briefs, and brown boots. Depending on the environment, different colour camuflauge is used.

 * Rank displayed on the left shoulder
 * Unit displayed on the right shoulder
 * Reinforced elbow pads

 * Two additional pockets on the shoulder with velcro seals
 * Front zipper
 * Kevlar, if worn, is worn under the blouse
 * Flak jackets, however, are worn exposed.

The trousers:
 * Reinforced knees and seat
 * One hip cargo pocket on each leg with velcro seals
 * One calf storage pocket on each leg with velcro seals
 * Standard hip and back pockets with velcro seals

(Few brave souls actually -wear- this uniform. Among certain marines, it seems to have become a sort of dunce cap among the militia to easily identify worthless individuals.)

1st Marine Battalion "Hancock's Heroes"
Approximately 300 marines, made up of three companies (Approx 100 marines each), operate from Hancock Station. Jokingly at first, they earned the moniker "Hancock's Heroes," a sarcastic title for a ragtag and poorly trained group. However, in the past year, hard training under a series of veteran instructors and repeated tests in combat situations suggest that perhaps First Battalion is worthy of its nickname. At this point they are a tried and tested combat unit, and following months of intense training are considered one of the Militia's more elite units.

Each company is itself made up of three platoons (Approx 33 marines).

PC Marines are attached to 3rd Company, 1st Platoon.
