Galor and Keldon Class Ships
Ported from Bridge Commander by our very own Tycoon, these Galor and Keldon models will be sure to dramatically bolster the graphics of your Cardassian forces. They directly replace your stock ships, so there is no additional need for any graphical parts (build button, wireframe etc.) although you may want to upgrade your admiral's pic to match the new-ness.
In terms of game play, there are absolutely no changes. Whilst these are higher in polygons and textures then a few of the things already available, they do undoubtedly look stunning, such is the way of BC models and shouldn't cause any problems to computers that surpass the recommended requirements by some bit. Even those struggling on minimum or recommended should be able to use these though. So, if you want to spruce up your Cardassian side with some funky new model's and textures, this is certainly what you'll want to download...and if my words don't do enough for you, just take a gander of the pics below!

Starship Information
------------------------------
The Galor Class:
==============================
The backbone of the Cardassian Fleet, the Type-3 Galor has served the Union since the war with the Federation and before. Integrating a large forward Spiral Wave Disruptor with relatively high maneuverability for a ship of its size makes it ideal for large fleet engagements when a flexible firepower is required.
--------------------------------------------------
The Keldon Class:
==============================
Standard Keldon Class vessels have received many upgrades following the Obsidian Order designs, most especially after the injection of Domininon resources. The addition of another large forward firing disruptor, additonal armour and shielding makes this far superior to Galor Class vessels, packing a greater punch. It rivals other cruisers of the main races, something the Cardassian Union greatly needed, and is currently the apex of Cardassian Technology.

No. They're BC converts. FO very rarely allow useage of models outside of their project. Look on the forums for "Famous Four" to see more. - J7
We are in your debt for converting them.
The models are to high in pollies for my tastes but they are indeed some really nice models.
