	I saw one of these last night during a B5Ws session.  Cherry
mini!  The
only grip I had was about the turrets.	Not that they were bad.  It's
just that I wished that they had made turrets of that quality for the
Omega!

	If your really devious or just don't care for B5 ship figs. 
Take the
T'Loth and throw out the middle section (or throw it in your bits box). 
Know base the to remaing sections (after gluing on the engines) and...
TA DA!	You've got TWO DN sized ships! Not a very original idea... I
heard it on this list for the T'Loth Micromachine.
