Malon battlecruiser

The Malon battlecruiser was a tanker/battlecruiser starship type in service to the Malon Union in the early 25th century. The battlecruiser was visually indistinguishable from the Malon battleship but had been refitted to be environmentally friendly. 

Specifications
The cruiser was a tanker starship equipped for combat. The basic superstructure was supplemented with two vertically stacked rows of three spherical tanks each.. The battlecruiser was more powerful than a Malon cruiser. 

History
In the year 2410, proponents of clean energy among the Malon signed an agreement with the Lobi Crystal Consortium to get the Alpha Quadrant technology they need to safely dispose of the vast amounts of theta radiation generated as waste by their antimatter reactors. In exchange, the Malon provided a supply of their battlecruisers. These ships were retrofitted by the Lobi Consortium to be safe for use in populated systems and became available to Alpha Quadrant Alliance ship commanders in the Alpha and Beta quadrants.
