3788 Scale ISC War Cruiser (CW) SRZ

The Inter-Stellar Concordium (ISC) is an organization of five species associated by treaty, all speaking a common language. In this, they are similar to the Federation. As is typical of the Alpha Octant’s eastern regions, all of these species are native to different planets. Still, most of these systems are within a relatively small area at the center of ISC territory. The various species discovered each other, fought several minor wars, and formed the ISC before the era of warp-powered starships. There, the resemblance to the Federation ends. The ISC has no concept of a Prime Directive and will intervene in the development of any species to bring it up to ISC standards. The ISC’s prime conviction is that “a peaceful, harmonious and well-ordered universe is the duty of all sentient species. Civilizations collapse when that duty is ignored; therefore, it must be required of all.” The dark underside of the ISC is that they have no respect for individual or cultural rights that violate this principle and will go to any lengths to enforce their idea of “peace, order, and good government.” Therefore, the ISC will try (usually successfully) to separate warring powers, forcing them back within their borders. The ISC does not try to conquer those powers or force them to adopt ISC philosophies, but the ISC enforces a “Zero Tolerance for War” policy.

Studying the enemy fleets, the ISC noted that conversion of destroyers to war cruisers (and of frigates to war destroyers) by the “insane empires” and developed such designs. However, the ISC did not intend to engage in a war of attrition and so produced only a few. After the Andromedan invasion left 80% of the ISC fleet cut off and their capital under assault, the ISC pulled the designs out of the files and began converting destroyers to war cruisers (and frigates to war destroyers) as fast as they could. A large structure is welded under the hull with a third warp engine, two plasma-S torpedoes, and other systems.

The ship is available in a variety of materials. Ships are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
