The Caprican Marine Corps is a branch of the Caprican military under the Caprican Ministry of Defense in the years prior to the union of the Twelve Colonies under a single governing body.
In the decades prior to the First Cylon War, the Caprican Marines are part of an effort by the Caprican Government for the creation of a robotic army. Marine personnel are present during early testing of Graystone Industries' U-87 Cyber Combat Unit, marking their involvement in the creation of the first Cylon in the Twelve Colonies (CAP: "Caprica (pilot)").
Some time later, the Caprican Marines are called upon to pursue the Cylon prototype as it escapes from Graystone Industries' labs and drives into the outskirts of Caprica City in a stolen van. Deploying a VTOL aircraft (alongside a Caprican Air Force Phoenix), the Marines are ordered to track, but not engage the Cylon - ultimately observing from above as the van containing the robot soldier collides with a military roadblock and explodes (CAP: "End of Line").
Despite the debacle with the prototype U-87, Graystone Industries under the control of Tomas Vergis begins production on the military's order of 200,000 Cylon soldiers and beings delivering them to the Caprican Marine Corps (CAP: "Unvanquished").
Some months later, the some of the delivered Cylons are outfitted with Marine armor and emblems and assigned to aircraft. Exploiting backdoor access, Daniel Graystone commands a squadron of Marine Cylons to land their VTOLs in Atlas Arena and engage a group of Soldiers of the One as they attempt to bomb the stadium (CAP: "Apotheosis").
Notes
- The aircraft flown by the squadron of U-87s in "Apotheosis" are marked both with "Marines" pennants and the distinctive pentagonal shape seen on the Cylon War-era Raider in flashbacks to the war in "Razor". This suggests a link between Caprican technology and that used by the Cylons, indicating that the Cylon Raider was possibly of Caprican origin.
