Gwirekon Pirates Metroid Assault Shuttle

The Metroid Assault Shuttle is the Gwirekon Pirate Gang's main baording
craft. They will land in a disabled ships' hangar or burn their way through
a hatch to minimize damage when they can but if they only care about the
cargo they will force their entry through anywhere they can onto the ship.
The shuttle carries one full platoon of Gwirekon boarding marines which
will enter the ship through the laser torched entryway and spread out
through the ship quickly and efficently. The Metroid is ahrdly the most
manuverable ship about but it packs a good punch to compensate for this
and is a very rugged ship.

        Note: The plasma torch boarding device is mounted on the ship's
        airlock system. The controls are just inside the main airlock. Roll
        the target ship's hull -2D; if the torch scores a lightly damaged
        result, it has breached the hull. Once the hull is breached, the
        torch requires a full minute to cut a one-meter-wide by one-meter-
        high hole. The extendable boarding tube attaches to the hull and
        forms an air-tight seal in 30 seconds.
