It is the 25th century, and mankind has spread across the stars. Combining into The Confederation of Human Worlds, it has already developed FTL travel, is able to have lost organs regrown, and can terraform almost any world, given a few thousand years.
The only problem is that the FTL travel works like Pony Express, so rebellion and strife are quite common in the Confederation. To combat this, the Confederation Marines were formed, along with the Army and Navy, to combat these threats. Formed into '''F'''leet '''I'''nitial '''S'''trike '''T'''eams, they guard the Confederation from bitter rebellions and world-destroying wars.
Following the 34th F.I.S.T., the first book introduces us to PFC Joseph Finucane Dean, PFC Claypoole, Lance Cpl. Chan, Cpl. Doyle, Captain Conorado, Brigader Sturgeon, and Gunnery Sgt. Bass, as they travel to the desert world of Elneal to defuse a very Sudanese incident.
Since both authors have served in the Army and Marine Corps., the action is as realistic as it can be, with down time shown as boring, tedious work that is hardly ever exciting. Projectile weapons are not as useless as one might think, though lasers and plasma are the preferred choice for battle.
