How many mercs does the 800t mercenary cruiser carry?

It's got 25 staterooms, and the deck plans include "beds", but I'm still unsure.

How many mercs does the 800t mercenary cruiser carry?

It's variable. According to the original CT Adventure 7 - Broadsword, the ground complement of the ship is 31. But that includes the flight crew for the cutters as well. There's an 8 person command squad (includes flight), and 3 8 man squads. The ship's crew is 16.

But this could be changed if necessary, depending on what vehicles you took, if you dropped the extra modules for more crew space (or say you wanted a couple of G-carriers instead).

PERFECT!! That is exactly what I needed.
And thank you for reminding me which CT Adventure it was hiding in.
Greatly appreciated.

Back in those day, you counted beds to get a head count. Bunk beds doubled the numbers. If you had seen 2001, you also looked for any frozen watch onboard.
