In one of the two campaigns in my last cycle, the PCs were the officers of a privateer sailing ship in the service of Atlantis; they comprised avatars of three gods (Aeolus, Miacha, and Errol Flynn), a rakshasa, and two humans, one of whom was the shipowner. It worked quite well.

One thing that I did was to define the regular crew of the ship as an Ally Group, and the marines as another Ally Group, and require the PCs to spend points on buying them as such, split among the different PCs. They weren't very expensive, being built on a lot fewer points, but it seemed the neatest way to account for their presence.
