     Fortunately, mine is just across the room.  :-)  Looking in my
copy of Adventure 1:  _The Kinunir_, I see that the ship is listed as
being 1200 tons.  There are no High Guard stats.  The copyright date
on the adventure is 1979, while the date on my (first printing) copy
of _High Guard_ is 1980.

     It may have been redone in High Guard form, but I think the above
dates show that the original design predates Book 5.
