Episode 201 "Safe" introduced an elite "Force Recon" team of four Martian Marines serving on the Martian Navy Ship the "Scirocco" and led by Gunnery Sgt. Roberta "Bobbie" Draper. The Marines in this unit were trained to wear and operate the heavy "Goliath Powered Armor" suits featured in the series. All four members were first seen during the episode "Safe" (201), in full Goliath suit armor performing a training drill on a Martian crater.
Working closely with the Expanse production team, Legacy Effects custom built Goliath power armor suits and helmets for each of these characters in the Force Recon unit. The complex Goliath suits required up to three crew members to get each actor ready for filming. Pieces of armor were applied directly onto the under-suit layer using hook and loop; armor pieces incorporated both foam rubber and leather for actor flexibility. Scenes on the Sirocco during the episodes "Home" (201), "Static" (203), showed the time and resources needed to repair, maintain, and power the complex suits.
Earth-born Private Travis wore his Goliath under suit in "Safe" (201), when he was bullied in the locker room by his unit comrade Private Hillman, who challenged his loyalty to Mars in front of their Force Recon unit mates and superior officers Sgt Roberta "Bobbie" Draper and Corporal Sa'id. Private Travis wore his Goliath Suit when he was killed alongside Sa'id and Hillman in the attack by the Caliban Hybrid on Ganymede in the episode "Paradigm Shift" (206). The ease with which the Hybrid tore apart the nearly indestructible Martian armor highlighted the danger inherent in utilizing the protomolecule. In the season 6 episode "Force Projection" (603), members of another Force Recon unit, including Cuthbert, wore their helmets when boarding Ceres Station in a combined UN/Martian effort to control the station while providing humanitarian aid to the Belter residents.
