Marines

Last updated: March 21, 2026

Overview

The Marine system lets players enlist in the World Government's naval force. Marines operate as an enforcement faction against pirates - arresting criminals, protecting civilians, and participating in Marine Warship sea events. Joining the Marines is a character identity choice that changes your faction alignment, reputation trajectory, and which sea events you engage with.

⚓Enlisting

Players can enlist as Marines through a character progression choice. Marine status aligns you with the World Government, unlocks Marine-specific activities and arrest mechanics, and marks you as a target for high-bounty pirate players.

World GovernmentReaching the highest Marine ranks requires World Government affiliation. The Admiral rank specifically requires World Government backing - it cannot be achieved through combat progression alone.

Arrests

Marines can arrest criminal players, placing them into the Jail system. The arresting Marine earns rewards proportional to the criminal's bounty level.

Handcuffs

Handcuffs are a Marine tool used to restrain arrested players. Breaking free while handcuffed is approximately 20× harder than normal jail escape - confirmed by developers.

Patrols

Marines patrol sea lanes and port towns. Their presence deters pirate activity in lower sea regions and triggers reputation-based responses from faction NPCs.
