This is a conversion of the Victory Class made and released by Queball on BCFiles. The model has 4 textures (512x512) and a poly count of 6600. The poly count may seem a little high but I've had many of them onscreen at once during the course of testing them and there's little to no lag.

Included in this mod are:

SOD file
Ship textures
Borg textures
Ship ODF
Weapon ODFs
AdmiralsLog picture
Buildbutton
Wireframe
