Curious if I can get my hands on the mythical terran marines by boarding a terran ship that has marines - or are they argon race as well?

As far as I know, no Terran marines available in AP and a finite number in TC.

You can't recruit Terran Marines at stations in AP, but yes you can get them by boarding Terran ships during missions. A few enemy marines will sometimes jump ship if things go poorly for them, and you can pick them up and use them.

Thanks :)

Is it only during missions though or are there actually random ships (like other races) that carry them normally? Like military ships and so on.

Just need some clarification here - is it only on missions (plots?) because I'm flying arouny my beloved terran space and I'm scanning every scabbard or M6+ and I'm getting none :(

It would be only during missions, so take a commonwealth assassination one where the target is Terran and board any big ships that spawn. That being said, I can't recall ever seeing Terran marines myself although I may not have been paying enough attention.

And nope..

At least my first attempt is a let-down.

Assassination mission - Terran Katana - 6 Teladi Marines on board.. wtfuzzle?!?! lol Those ain't terrans!

Can anyone confirm they've actually run into terran marines in assassination missions?
