Space Marines

The Space Marines was a branch of the Galactic Government's armed forces that conducted military operations within the Galactic Government's territories.

History
One notable member of the Space Marines was the legendary Vice-Admiral Garp D. Monkey, who was said to be a warrior on par with his son, Dragon D. Monkey, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

It was said that the only people who remembered the Void Millennium were either in the Space Marines, elsewhere in the Galactic Government, or dead. However, this did not apply to Deathsaurus, who was a member of neither.

After Olivier Mira Armstrong paid a group of space pirates to take Coco away from Fort Briggs, the pirates chained Coco up in a spare escape pod and left her to be discovered by the Space Marines so that she would no longer be their problem. Although Coco described the group of Space Marines who rescued her as being "really really nice", with their captain even helping her when she got her head stuck in a bucket once, the Space Marines soon grew tired of Coco and put her back in the chained-up escape pod before dumping it on the most out-of-the-way planet they could find so that they would no longer have to deal with her.
