The Space Marine's most basic weapon is the Bolt Rifle. This also excludes a vast amount of additional weapons such as man portable auto-cannons and supporting equipment like frag grenades, blind grenades, viral grenades, vortex grenades that can be used in conjunction with existing man power.

Not all phasers reduce their targets to ash, not all phasers even kill in a single blow to unarmored humans. There are entire planets(such as Cadia) whose population is 99% Imperial Guard, they have the numbers to poplate entire Federation systems and then some.įed infantry tech is not superior to IoM. First off the IoM's main army is the Imperial Guard, there are more Imperial Guardsmen than the Federation has in overall personel by a long shot, they're also better trained and have more hours of active service than Fed since they are constantly at war.

The notion that the Star Trek foot military would have any chance against the IoM is not even feasible. You want to see some of the Imperium's military capabilities? I will begin listing them.
