[Strategia_In_Ultima]

The Dominion could have some sort of Intel act that allows them to take over ships, but it should be prohibitively expensive. They could place Founders on the ship to replace all crew members, but it would take looong so that's why it should be expensive.

And I stick with my Tal Shi'ar. In my own ST mod (with older versions of AT's shipsets, but then created from stock, not STM itself) the Intel centers are "mercenary Tal Shi'ar barracks" where the remnants of the Tal Shi'ar reside. My idea was that the intelligence agency became too powerful and tried to seize power in the Empire, but failed and subsequently disintegrated after the Cleansing War (yes, I had made my mod with the STM storyline in mind.).

But I still think that perhaps it's a good idea to make them an independent Empire.....?
