As a battle barge traverses the vast vacuum of space en route to Ultramar, xenomorphs have stowed on board and are now looking to overrun the ship. The ship currently carries 450 space marines and none of them have any knowledge about the xeno scum.

The aliens start with 10 face huggers, 5 xenomorphs, and a queen that is in-hiding.

Will the aliens succeed or will the astartes crush them before they can take over the entire ship?

They might win, one of the face-huggers can give birth to an Alien Queen and the infestation will start the same way the Genestealers are slowly infesting a Space Hulk.

Sure numbers would always help, but the Space marines are far better equipped at dealing with this kind of issue thanks to all their scanners and so on.
