				<title>Who picks them up?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Ok, you're a nifty new recruit for a space marine chapter. You've passed your entrance exam without dying, and now you are headed up into the void of space for the first time (presumably in a thunderhawk or something). Waiting for you on the edge of the system is.....what? A battle barge? Most chapters only have one or two of them, and sending a ship capable of landing three companies of space marines simultaneously seems a little excessive, even for the future, currently vulnerable future of a chapter. A Space marine cruiser? Better, but still capable of deploying a full company of marines in under 20 minutes, and geared more for planetary assault than picking up hitchhikers. <br /> I'm guessing initiates would be transported in a Gladus class frigate or somesuch (yay lexicanum), but they seem awfully small to be travelling alone.<br /> I know some chapters recruit from their home planet, or home system like the ultramarines, and others like the Dark Angels and Space Wolves have a floating fortress or battlefleets that could probably pick up initiates as they go by, but what about the rest?<br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Most chapters recruit from their homeworld.<br /> Other fleet-based chapters recruit from a few worlds their fleet visits, so recruits would be picked up by that fleet.<br /> In all other circumstances the recruits would be picked up by whatever ship the Marines used to get to the planet they recruited on. They probably use a frigate or cruiser or whatever ship is available at the time. Perhaps the 10th company has its own cruiser?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ It could just be a cargo transport or some other auxilary craft attatched to their fleet who are transporting supplies in a convoy. <br /> That or they may train them on the 10ths vessel as said above when they get picked up after a recruitment drive.]]></description>
