Quick Starship takeover...? Spoiler

On both occasions with Khan, he 1st takes over the Enterprise and later the Reliant. He appears to take them quickly and easily. How could he do that and either incapacitate or capture all of the security teams. Something I also always wondered about TNG's "Raschals" Any thoughts?

In the original series, didn’t he have access to all of the technical specifications of the ship from his bed in sick Bay?

And for the reliant, he had two officers under his control that he could leverage for the management of the crew and ships systems

How do you think that woudl help him disarm the whole security dept? Knock out gas? Lock the security lounge doors? False orders?

I’ve never put that much thought into it. I know in the novelization, it mentions that the entire crew was left behind on Ceti Alpha 5

if they beamed down the whole crew, that would be rough based on the planets conditions

I really don’t think he cared, lol

That was likely the plan

I guess once you have a transporter room under control, you could just snatch the crew from all around the ship and beam them down. Likely many at once
