Description/Overview:
          The SBC-02 was part of the 2188 general upgrade program started in the post-Outer Sphere War era. It consisted of the upgrade of the Stellar Warp Drive engines, main turrets, space torpedoes, and deflector shield generators to meet the needs of the battle fields of the 2190s that the Alkaidian military knew were coming.
