Old Pre Astro Marine

Old Pre Astro Marine

Richard Stahl's closest friends still remembe that he was a a United States Marine [1], and in all his long life he never revered anything more than  that.

A Pre Astro Marine is a member of a military branch of the military of Earth before the Ascent.

As the Union grows and becomes older, the cultural influence of the founding civilizations (Saran, Pan Saran , Earth and Ult *) is fading and blending.

Few citizens remember Pre Astro Earth or the fact that Stahl is from Earth.

[1] In this context it is the United States Marine Corps even though other pre Astro Earth nations had Marines as part of their military forces.


 * the first member is often considered a Founding Civilization as well
