Solution:
One cruiser, containing the Marine detachment engages the vessel in question. If the other vessel disobeyed the order to surrender, the cruiser opens fire on her. The objective is to disable her engines, weapons and shields. If the cruiser succeeds, the work is done. But if both vessel are evenly matched in their equipment and their crew's skills, it is very likely that neither of the vessels will gain a sufficient advantage over the other. So a small advantage has to do it. The Marines has to board the vessel at the first breach in her shields. One aboard, the Marines have to deactivate her power support, causing a shipswide deactivation of vital systems. Those breaches will be short during the battle, for the enemy engineers will try to restore them, the instant they are down. So You do not have much time. In order to react as quickly as possible, the Recon Squad has boarded a ‘Iwta class Gunboat or shuttlecraft, prior to the battle. This gunboat will remain unshielded at the battles outskirts. It is ready to beam the Recon Squad directly into engineering, at the first sight of a breaking shield. To accomplish this, the whole Squad is already dematerialised and stored, fully equipped and ready for action, in the transporter's pattern buffer. This procedure has been developed by the famous science officer Forn ben Adar. The amount of energy to sustain this state is vast, so it can only be applied to a small group of warriors. When the shields break, Recon Squad is beamed directly from the pattern buffer through the breach. Once aboard Recon Squad takes and holds engineering. Then they start to deactivate the power generators. If possible they disengage the warp core and the computer core as well. Needless to mention, the casualties among Recon Squads are high. Many of them have died by malfunctioning pattern buffers. Or their atoms were repelled by restored shield and scattered in the cold space. Only the bravest warriors, like tai Khem'Ra, proud daughter of the house of DarkH, serve in Recon. And they are highly honoured in the Corps. When the shield are completely down, the next wave Marines are beamed directly from the cruiser to the key positions of the vessel. Those are the men and women of the Marine Infantry. They take and hold the key positions, crushing every resistance they meet. Signal Squad and Tech Squad will rematerialise in the third wave . They arrive at the bridge or ops, and at the computer core as well. Signal will try to deactivate any set self-destruction device by computer access. Simultaneously Tech will deactivate the explosive devices themselves. Meanwhile the Supply Squad has arrived to build up a line of supply. They treat the casualties and start to register the salvage.
