  Space Marines (Warhammer 40,000) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Space Marines are heavily inspired by earlier works of science fiction, especially the Mobile Infantry from the novel Starship Troopers, and the Sardaukar from the novel Dune - and seem to have inspired later super-soldiers; notably the Spartans from Halo and the Marines from StarCraft.
Originally, the Space Marines were divided up into twenty Legions, each Legion based on the genetic material of one of the God-Emperor's twenty genetic offspring.
Gene-seed is a rare and precious resource for the Space Marines; since while they possess the technology to create new gene-seed, the process is prohibitively slow, and the majority of it must be passed down from dying warriors.
