It could go either way. "Marine" Corpsman are part of the US Navy but operate with US Marines and for all intents and purposes are considered marines. This tech specialist may be part of the Navy and operate with Landers as part of a specialized unit, or he could just be a Lander himself. Because of the Lander's vast training in ship technology, I would probably consider him a Lander, especially if he is conducting combat roles on a daily basis, but I will leave the final decision up to you.Reversing gravity on a ship suddenly wouldn't really knock anyone unconscious. Maybe if they were in a full sprint and the zero gravity made them collide violently with a wall, but otherwise it wouldn't do much. Bullets and grenades would travel forever with no drop off, enemy soldiers would have a little trouble orienting themselves but overall it could make things more complicated for Landers rather than doing anything useful. If there was a makeshift barricade on a ship zero gravity would disperse it I suppose. Just my two cents.Now what would be useful, is if this specialist could rework the gravity so that he could make the gravity pull from different orientations. For example, he could disable gravity then make it so the ceiling is now the gravity point, sending everyone flying into the ceiling and the Landers would now be fighting upside down, (Though gravity would be pulling on them as well so he would have to take that into consideration. The human body doesn't like being upside down.)

That's kind of what I meant. I guess reversing gravity wasn't the right word. I meant that the ground suddenly becoming the ceiling and gravity acting accordingly would cause anyone not strapped in to fall on their heads. I guess I could have said reversing the polarity of gravity, but yea, definitely meant changing orientation.

I was kind of leaning towards Landers as well.
