Hello, I am interested in joining. 

A question of a concept, would it be plausible that the Empire of Humanity allows xeno kingdoms to have an "export-model" modular cruiser design. Seemly sturdily built, modular and scalable from light cruiser to line cruiser to heavy cruiser to even being overloaded with weapons to make a pocket battlecruiser with a relative minimum of complexity. But it's riddled with ingrained design sabotage to make the heavier versions prohibitively maintenance-intensive, and its not as good as purpose-made designs. Nonetheless, it's in production by several conquered kingdoms and minor human provinces for want of other options and to avoid the expense of building navies from scratch.

My industry-type rebel faction would have a mobile shipyard capable of limited production of these ships, or retrofitting ones that can be acquired or stolen. Their initial focus is to fix the ingrained sabotage and acquire more industrial assets to build and refit them en masse to take advantage of how many are in circulation in second-line roles. A heady plan to turn the products of the Human Empire upon itself, but execution remains ambiguous.

The ship in question:

Plausible concept or needs reworking? I'm still on the drawing board, so I'm open to edits.
