* Abandoning the ship can be a great roleplaying opportunity. A 'random'
collection of characters in a life or death situation, but without the
usual chain of command. Who will take the lead? Wo will panic?
Whoever is part of the ship's crew would be in charge.
That's the official rule. PC adventurers would probably have
something to say about this. Especially if the crewmember is
the second assistant barkeeper and the passengers are
veteran spacer adventurers.
Classically, crew are technically fired as soon as the ship sinks.
(Since there's no ship, there's nowhere to serve...)
