No idea about the rank, but I'd assume a pilot/astrogator and an engineer as crew, with the marines acting as gunners and maybe supplying a medic.


Doh!  Of course, I hadn't thought of doubling up the gunners as marines.  That makes a lot of sense.  It also means the actual 'crew' (not marines) would be smaller which would feel better with a lower rank captain.

Though the Confederation Patrol officer I just tried generating did four terms, got four promotions and ended up as a Leutnant anway.

Thank you.
