My Star Marine campaign decided to throw me a curveball - rather than the pirate suppression my Star had been assigned to (and even followed up on when off-campaign - I highly recommend using New Beginnings and Usual Suspects to spice up your Carousing if you haven't tried it already), it has decided that my next campaign involves a war against the Hishin. Specifically, an attempt to contest the Hishin's control of a planet. While I see that the War table mostly still involves boarding actions, I can't imagine that the entire campaign will consist of boarding Slavers. I know that there are tables listing other Hishin ships in other books, what I am looking for is the following:
Ship/Station plans or advice on making them. Details of how many PEFs should be encountered on a ship of each size.
Does anyone either know where this information can be found or have any advice?
I am also considering running any Rescue missions on a space station, using Phoebe VII as a base - i.e. a larger map, multiple squads and a PEF each time they move. Is it a good idea to base the rules on this or will it just get everyone killed?

I played my Star's second tour on Planet 1 as happening on the same orbital factory (https://twohourwargames.proboards.com/thread/962/5150-star-marine-campaign-outbreak, missions 5 to 9). Same squad, same small missions, but in a context that probably involved other missions, for other squads, somewhere else in the factory. I just did not played them. As for PEF, I play "the old way": two different colors dice for activation (one for each side), new PEF on doubles. As I use 3 PEF for one squad, I would probably use 6 for 2 squads etc.

PM me, I have a draft boarding action tile supplement with sample maps, all the way up to space stations, that you can use.
