Mace

The Halberd takes frigates. The Mace takes everything else. Thirty- eight points of armor on a hull designed to absorb point-blank defensive fire while magnetic clamps lock onto the target and breaching systems cut through capital-grade plating. The Mace carries enough marines and equipment to seize ships three times its size — the boarding bays are pressurized, the armory is extensive, and the medical bay exists because boarding actions produce casualties. Four weapon mounts suppress point defense during the approach. Mace captains are the Crimson Fleet's most decorated officers, because every successful boarding is a capital ship captured intact.
