Damage Control crew use modified non-combat versions of Marine armour and know how to use them.  This armour has additional tool and spares racks and no weaponry.

In battle, marines assist with damage control and casualty management, as well as dealing with security.
All internal security is dealt with by Marine detachments, drawn from designated personnel. No red T-shirts are issued to crew.
Marine guard watches are organised by the Senior Marine Officer, in consultation with the Captain.

There is one attack pacifier stored in a 'one-shit' pod in the cargo frame.  This can only be used if there is plenty of warning of use.
There is no automatic launch/recovery systems.

Escape Pods: The Precision Creek is not fitted with escape pods.

The 130th Marine Regiment has its own supplies and warlike stores, listed separately.
