The Klingon N7 Fast Troop Transport.
-----------------------------------------------

The N7 is a fast star ship technology troop transport for the sole use, in wartime, of the Distant Action Battlegroups.
 
The N7 can maintain a high cruising speed of Warp 8.4 for indefinate periods of time. This is achieved by switching between diagonal warp engine nacelles as they over heat. At any one time instant, one pair of warp engine nacelles are at full power and the other are running at cruising power levels. Because of this the N7 and other Klingon fast technology star ships can move rapidly and deeply into enemy territory and seize strategic systems and installations before the enemy can react.

The N7 itself is capable of deploying up to 12 of its completement of 24 AFVs and APCs with crews from low orbit directly to a polanet's surface via transporter deployment at a time.

It can also carry two battalions of troops plus equipment which can also be deployed in a similar manner via transporter.

The N7 also carries a num,ber of shuttle craft for conventional deployment of troops and ground support.

The N7 is also capable of providing space to ground direct fire support with reasonable accuracy using a ground based Forward Target Observer who can link directly into the N7's targeting computer and direct phaser and disrupter bombardment of a target area from low orbit.

The N7 is incapable of planetary landing intself, however.
   
Steps to install
----------------

1.  Make a new directory in your Starfleet Command\Assets\Models\  folder called "KN7"
2.  Copy the contents of the zip file into the new "Starfleet Command\Assets\Models\KN7\" folder.
3.  Finally, open the sfbspc.txt file (or shiplist.txt in sfc II) located in the 
    Starfleet Command\Assets\Specs\ folder with MS Excel.
    
    a.  From here you have two choices you can:

	1.  Replace the model geometry of one of the existing ships (the list of KLPh freighters 	    are my choice) with the following \Assets\Models\KN7\KN7.mod

    b.  Or :

	1. you can insert the N7 stats inbetween the existing row entries of the sfbspc13.txt 	            file. (or shiplist.txt in sfc II)
	   <<CAUTION:  This may cause some problems with the function of SFC, espically during 
	     Multiplayer and Single player campaigns>>
