The Nepleslian Space Marine Corps or NSMC is the largest part of the Star Military of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia. It is the biggest can of whoop-ass Nepleslia can deploy to any planetary surface. Every Marine is expected to be an aggressive killer who knows that nothing in the galaxy can stop him.
Nepleslian marines were present in many wars on Planet Nepleslia since prior to YE 01. After the Nepleslian Empire broke off from the Yamatai Star Empire in YE 28, the Star Army of Nepleslia was formed. As early as YE 29 (OOC: October 2006), some soldiers of the SAoN were being referred to as marines instead of soldiers1). After the formation of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia in YE 30, the marines were referred to as SMoDION (Star Military of the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia) marines.
In YE 33 (OOC: May 2011), the Nepeslian military underwent major reforms and the marine organization was named the Nepleslian Space Marine Corps (NSMC) and began using the tri-color patch2).
The NSMC is commanded by Sky Marshall Gaelan Sanders.
