simison Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Is it realistic for a light cruiser to have only a single squad of space marines onboard?

Chief Captain Redd Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yeah, not all ships in a legion fleet are to transport Astartes, pure weapons ships would be a misuse of Transhumanist man power.

simison Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I ask because the Advance of Progress was designated a light cruiser, but canon says only a squad for a light cruiser. This is in spite of a light cruiser having a crew of 65,000. So, I'm wondering why only a single squad is allowed given the thousands already on board. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321697-ref-fleet-organisation/page/8/#findComment-5361267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 As Redd said, its not so much a matter of being allowed as being needed. You don't need more than a squad of Astartes on a ship that isn't supposed to board others and ideally shouldn't be boarded itself. Ships actually meant for boarding or Astartes transportation will probably have more.

simison Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 To cut to the heart of the matter, is it realistic for a light cruiser to have a hanger and 100 marines onboard if it was designed that way?

Beren Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'd say so. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321697-ref-fleet-organisation/page/8/#findComment-5362627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Captain Redd Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Agreed. I could see that. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321697-ref-fleet-organisation/page/8/#findComment-5363424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Then I will leave it as is. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321697-ref-fleet-organisation/page/8/#findComment-5363543 Share on other sites More sharing options...
