space marine
Futuristic combat soldier
A space marine is a heavily armored soldier who fights in outer space or on alien worlds, a staple of military science fiction.
The term is most associated with the Warhammer 40,000 franchise, where Space Marines are genetically enhanced superhuman warriors serving a galactic empire.
The archetype appears across games, novels, and films: The space marines dropped onto the planet's surface.
