Topic: Marine Q

1) What happens if you board a ship that doesn't have marines defending it but the number of marines is less than the hull boxes?

Re: Marine Q

Depends on which version you are using.  Unity...it tells you on page 34 in the Marines and Starship Combat section.  Admiralty...is missing that (at a fast check) so take a step back to X where you roll a d6 per squad and a 5 or 6 result takes out a crew (hull) box until the ship can be captured more or less.

Re: Marine Q

Marines just kinda "hang out" on the target ship, running around and causing mayhem. If you add more marines in subsequent turns (or the target ship loses more hull boxes due to damage) you may end up capturing the ship.
