Editing NiS/Ship to Ship Combat (section)

==Boarding Actions==
For the sake of convenience, it is assumed that all off-story boarding actions against the player are repulsed, eventually.  (It’s bad form for the GM to enslave a whole ship because of a few bad dice rolls)  The only question then is, how much stuff is taken or destroyed in the boarding action.  To determine the extent of the damage, roll a d6, make a security check, and refer to the table below.  (Note: For boarding actions that are part of the plot, the GM may want to play it as a special scenario rather than rolling on the following table.)
