The character gains +2 to attack and damage rolls during a boarding action (the first 3 rounds after hull breach). The character gains +2 to initiative in any encounter that begins as a boarding action. The character ignores 1 square of difficult terrain per round during boarding (breach debris, sparking conduits, etc.).
