Here's a list of all of the planet-based vehicles employed by the Starfleet Marines:
"Puma" Light Reconnaissance Vehicle:
The Puma is a relatively small and fast vehicle designed for scouting and anti-personnel duties. It employs a phaser turret on the rear bed platform as it's primary weapon system. The passenger is also capable of providing secondary fire using his personal armament.
"Puma", Light Anti-Armor Variant:
This is a variant of the Puma LRV that uses a shuttlecraft-grade torpedo launcher in lieu of the phaser turret. This variant of the Puma is designed to combat enemy ground vehicles, aircraft, and large installations.
"Goliath" Main Battle Tank
The Goliath tank is employed by the Marine Corp in only the most dire of situations, due to it's high cost and difficulty of deployment. It carries a starship-grade phaser cannon on a large turret mount, and is capable of decimating most vehicles and aircraft with a single blow. It also has a phaser turret similar to that of the Puma mounted near the commander's cockpit, which is used to defend the tank from anti-armor personnel and faster vehicles otherwise unreachable by the main cannon.
"Pelican" Combat Dropship
The Pelican is the primary mode of planetary transport for the Starfleet Marines, and is also used by standard Starfleet naval forces as well. It is capable of ferrying up to sixteen marines in the rear troop bay (up to thirty in emergencies), and carries a phaser turret on the front nose as well as an optional rear-facing turret mounted to the ceiling of the troop bay. It is capable of extra-atmospheric flight, and the magnetic cargo latch behind the troop bay is the primary method of transporting large equipment or assault vehicles to a planetary surface.
"Puma" Light Reconnaissance Vehicle:
The Puma is a relatively small and fast vehicle designed for scouting and anti-personnel duties. It employs a phaser turret on the rear bed platform as it's primary weapon system. The passenger is also capable of providing secondary fire using his personal armament.
