Zero Hour New Orleans
Having proved her worth on multiple occasions, these vessels have become known as the smaller sister to both the Galaxy and Nebula respectively. Many vessels of this type played an assorted role in the multiple border confrontations throughout 2347 and 2355.

Details
-------------------------
Due to not liking the common kitbash, I decided to replace the nacelles on this New Orleans and give it something that didn't look like an exact replica of the Galaxy nacelle. Thus, I borrowed the nacelles from the common Dawnstar model (credited to Luan "Redragon" Ngo) and stuck them on instead.
