Well, most of my team is destined already destined for death, and this is a ship with tens of thousands of people on it, traveling a previously untraveled section of the universe with no escorts and a "short supply of security".

I think having a few registered marines (most of whom I am about to kill off) is realistic. Didn't you realize the magnitude of the security risks of a civilian cruise ship charting undiscovered dangerous planets with possible pirates and pathogens? Just saying. That seems out of the ordinary, even for Covenant vessels with no basic fail-safes.
