	I plan to actually playtest this a few times before the actual
game,
and I think I'll try it both ways.  I'll try the first test with the
ship
completely dead, and see how things work.  It the atttackers have an
overwhelming victory, I'll try giving the Juggernaut a few systems to
start
out with.  Of course, I can always add a few defenders, too.  The other
idea
I'm playing with involves having the ship be extremely battle damaged to
the
point where it requires the repair facilities of a major installation.
(I
want to use the ship, can you tell?  It's just so damn impressive
looking....)  It's a demo game, so I want to use as many actual ships as
I
can without bogging things down.  The more players I can accomidate, the
better.  Should I just skip the big ship, or is it workable?
