I cant help it if you are too lazy or too narrow minded to read the comments, directions and orders of the time.
the truth is that they were under direction to tread carefully - they didn't arrive and form a "beachhead" to a mass of attackers.
and lets do the sums again - 1030 less 737 convicts less 27 wives less 37 children
leaves a contingent of 230 which is made up of both marines AND civil officers - there were 212 marines (officers, ncos and troopers) and these were specifically assigned to guard the convicts both on board and onshore and to aid in the formation of a colony.
they were not here as an military expeditionary force with the sole objective of wiping out the locals.
your assumed premise that it was a predetermined invasion is a plain lie
