A new arm of the DDS has been formed with a dedicated "space marines" arm added to DDS Space Forces. The Astro Combat Brigade will incorporate and replace the existing Space Prowler units. All DDS ships will carry detachments of ACB marines though some will need modifications for accommodation. A larger force will also remain on standby.
The ACB will be about 5000 strong by 2118 though is only 900 strong at inception.
