It should be doable, though probably not through an all-out frontal assault, though a particularly well-timed and well-placed one may work.


No Battlesuits.

Life support includes plumbing, fixing malfunctions in the temperature and atmosphere systems, handling food distribution and reclamation, fixing broken beds and anything else in the living areas. In addition to jobs fixing things the crew also monitors statistics on temperature and atmosphere throughout the ship.

The motive section works on the FTL drive, The STL drive, and the manuver drives. Its full of engineers and technicians who monitor all of the various moving parts, liquid coolants, chemical concoctions, magnetic fields, and so forth. Along with nav, sensors, and comms, they're kind of the more technical end.

The transportation section moves things around the ship, such as food, laser chemical replacement packs, torpedo fuel, the occasional heavy tool, and lots and lots of metallic hydrogen bricks to feed whichever drive is currently on. They mostly do this with elevators and small vehicles similar to forklifts.

Does that help?

Yes, that helps, I'll work on a character this evening. Thank!
