Heavy Tower Hepteres - Massaloi Epilektoi Hoplitai
A septireme is a 45 meter long oared warship with two decks of oars, the top row powered by three oarsmen, and the bottom by four. Developed around 280 BCE, these huge flagships are slow and cumbersome, but are difficult to sink and can hold many marines.

The phalanx of the royal guards is a capable force, not a court regiment.

A bireme is a 30 meter long oared warship (galley) with two decks of oars, thought to have been invented by the Phoenicians in the 8th century BCE. Often called a liburnia in later Roman fleets, these swift yet durable warships are excellent for boarding actions and coastal patrols.

Tower Penteres - Makhairophoroi Epibatoi
A quinquereme is a 45 meter long galley with three decks of oars, in a pattern of 2-2-1 oarsmen, developed around 400 BCE by the Syracusans. Its large size allows many marines on board, and also allows ballistae to be mounted on the large decks.

Massalia does not follow the classical evolution of Hellenistic armies with the adoption of the pike phalanx, but instead she has developed her own tradition, influenced by Celtic and Roman influences. These marines form an elite corps, fighting in the Roman fashion to defend Massalia on land and at sea.
