Corpsman (Women of the United Federation Marines)

Liege Neves is a gangrat from the favelas of Nova Esperança with an ailing grandfather and no viable future. Anxious to get her Avó proper medical care, she decides to enlist in the Navy and get her grandfather and sister off-planet.Her test scores qualify her to become a corpsman, which offers numerous specialty training options that would allow her to work anywhere with a good job after her enlistment contract is concluded.Expecting to be assigned to a hospital at best, a major ship of the line at worst, she is shocked when the needs of the Navy take precedence over her duty choices, and she is assigned to the Fleet Marine Corps.Liege thought she had left the violence of the favelas behind her, but now she is issued a weapon and thrust into combat. Like generations of corpsmen, medics, stretcher-bearers, and hospitallers before her, she has to balance her mission to save the lives of her brothers in arms with the very real probability that she will have to take lives as well.
