I shall take that as a hint that I ought to put a couple of days into making notes about the freakish cultures on the known worlds.
You're quite right about the marines being comparatively minor characters. And not only do I expect their parts to be rather small, but also I expect their scenes (like those of the naval officers) to be largely procedural in contrast with the comparatively dramatic scenes that the explorers and diplomats will be involved in.
