Notes:
The Maccabee is the result of a revitalized NI/Japanese design group. The
effort started as a complete redesign of the Sharon after nearly 50 years,
but rapidly evolved with the rising hostilities of the Intersentient War
into a heavier, more capable warship program. Frist launched in 2190, the
Mac is in heavy production to supplement main fleet elements and support
defense of the Core Systems. It sports modular "wingmount" weapon pods, much
like the smaller Sharrett, enabling pairs of Class 2 beams to be replaced
by 2-arc P-Torps or re-aligned to 2-arc class 3's. Reconfiguring time in
spacedock time is similar to Sharretts.
Editor's Note: Ship design has 1 mass unused.
