A Marine Gunner is the Marine equivalent of a Starfleet Fighter Gunner / Tactical Systems Operator. Marine gunners operate the offensive weapons, defensive systems and the majority of the sensor responsibility of a Broadsword fighter as well as surface and atmosphere craft. Most gunners have rudimentary training in piloting and are capable of piloting the craft during garrison duty to allow the pilot some rest as well as performing evasive manoeuvres or emergency landing if the pilot becomes incapacitated.
