Overview
- The Californian Imperial Marines (CIM) is currently the largest marine force in the world, responsible for the majority of the Californian Empire's maritime expeditionary operations. Created in 2001, they were originally intended only to guard naval vessels during the Second American Civil War. While the CIM is a component part of the Department of the Navy in the military command structure, it is a separate military branch from the Californian Imperial Navy, with its own representative on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The CIM also provides marines as security guards at C.E. diplomatic posts throughout the world. They also provide helicopter transportation for the President of the Californian Empire aboard Marine One. Their motto is Semper Fidelis, which means "always faithful" in Latin.
