Amendment - B5 in "2 modules" could really be 2 different "station"  
SSD's. The Militarized section has most of the weapons, maybe a 3 row  
hull. The Civ section has just 2 B1's, and a crew unit every hull  
space - that gives it enough of a sting to annoy a Clark faction   
trying to maneuver for victory and tempt it to fire on the station,  
risking dire consequences...
