Team Delta

Every military academy in the known galaxy has a program for their best students. These are students who have performed above the rest of their classmates in every conceivable way. They are the best of the best. At the STARFLEET Academy these students are known as Red Squad, but here at the STARFLEET Marine Corps Academy they are known as Team Delta. It should be noted that while Team Delta is an elite cadre of individuals like those that comprise Red Squad, that is where the similarity ends. To become a member of Team Delta means that a Marine has elevated himself to a level of intellectual readiness that even surpasses that of a member of Red Squad. A Marine who is a member of Team Delta is truly the ultimate that the STARFLEET Marine Corps has to offer.
