Augment Boarding Party
Drain Shields and Capture Starship

Basic Information

  • Type: Bridge officer ability
  • Profession: Tactical
  • Region: Space
  • Game Description: A boarding party of genetically modified Augments beams aboard an enemy vessel, disabling its shields and attempting to seize it. If the ship would be destroyed, instead it warps out, becoming available to the Captain as an Admiralty Card. Up to one such card per eligible ship class may be held[1] at a time, and the Cards are consumed on use. Eligible classes are Frigate, Cruiser, Battleship, and Dreadnought. The use of Augments in modern days is rare but extant. Prohibited by almost all space-faring races after past attempts, small populations of Augments persist in holding cells and back alleys across the galaxy. They are all too willing to assist in combat in exchange for certain liberties.
