When I posted the _Rhine_ class, I stated that there were no known
variants. As Steve pointed out to me, this is not true--the Alliance Navy
modified theirs. They also modified the _Berlins_ they recieved. Here are
the Alliance versions:
TF-1A Rhine TF-R7313G3-090300-00009-2 MCr39,942.7 100,000 tons
batteries bearing 8 Y Crew=854.
batteries A Z TL=12(13).
Low=427. Cargo=119. Fuel=33,000. EP=3000. Agility=1. Marines=300.
Y=35, Z=50
Notes: Frozen watch, scoops, plant. This version carried 4 Alliance
_Berlins_ and twenty of New Home's Wasp fighters.
BM-1A Berlin BM-K6068G3-C00307-00009-0 MCr10,767 10,000 tons
batteries bearing 4 6 Crew=440.
batteries 4 6 TL=12(13).
Low=220. Cargo=244. Fuel=800. EP=800. Agility=6. Marines=350.
Notes: watch, scoops, plant.
These variants would have seen action in the Serendip War.
Stay tuned for the first installment of "Starships of the Cluster
Liberation War," coming soon to the TML...
