Ghost ship

Radiation from Star Clusters and Ion Storms can kill a ships crew. When a ship loses all of its crew it will become a "ghost ship" and can be captured by any starship with which Tows it (Towing requires two or more engines). The warp speed of a ghost ship will be Warp0 and will belong to no Race and thus cannot be initiated into combat.

Capturing a ghost ship will cause 10 crew to be added to it, even if its maximum crew number is less.
