Editing Caprican Marine Corps

The '''Caprican Marine Corps''' is a branch of the [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]n military under the [[Caprican Ministry of Defense]] in the years prior to the union of the [[Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Twelve Colonies]] under a single [[Government of the Twelve Colonies|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 [[robot]]ic 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 (RDM)|Cylon]] in the Twelve Colonies {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)}}.

Some time later, the Caprican Marines are called upon to pursue the [[Zoe-R|Cylon prototype]] as it escapes from Graystone Industries' labs and drives into the outskirts of [[Caprica City]] in a stolen van.  Deploying a [[Caprica Marine aircraft|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 [[Battle of Atlas Arena|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 [[Raider (RDM)#Cylon War-era Raider|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.
