Fair, but that still doesn't refute the point that the NRDF was explicitly forbidden from having any ships more powerful than an ISD, for "ethical" reasons. The SSD they had was stripped of weapons and could only attack the Vong by being used as a kamikaze ram.She wasn't set to be scrapped, but in mothballs in reserve, and acted as a medical research lab for a while due to the specialized compartments Isard had installed while it was a prison.
