Anyone have some insight, from what I researched (barely anything) a Marauder isn't a bird... Regardless I'm ready to bleed Maroon!!!

Never heard that one before! But it explains the symbolism.

BTW, when you pronounce "falcon", be sure to make the first syllable sound like "fall", even with a silent "l",--that's OK. If you pronounce the first syllable to rhyme with "shall", you would sound like an American or an announcer for the Ford motor company.

Let me guess, you think googling something counts as 'reasearch', huh?

A Marauder is a terran infantry unit that looks like this.


It is mainly used in Terran army compositions for additional damage against armoured units, the slow and a general meat shield since they are tanky.


Oh wait McMaster Marauder. They're the people who relay the ideals and goals of the student union to the general population, but are mostly there for spirit and enthusiasm. I like terran marauders better.

Also, bleeding maroon is bad. That's probably lack of hemoglobin in your blood or something. Might want to get that checked out.

A marauder was a soldier that would invade a city, and when they had won the battle would rape the women of the village. My highschool mascot was a marauder also, and the one teacher was extremely reluctant to tell us this information haha

Sorry, I made a mistake. This is definitely it.
