	* Clarity: the Flight Vs are Flight IV command ships that had the command crews and equipment removed, for a complete conversion to "pure" cruiser roles. Because only four made the conversion, I've decided that effort didn't begin until [[2291]], seeing it halted in [[2293]] with the [[Khitomer Accords]]. Presumably, the command crews were removed from the Flight IIIs and the equipment depowered.

	The ''Brenton'' and ''Balson'' classes continued command ship operations side by side until the [[2280s]]. The primary reason for ''Brenton'' retirement at that time was not simple overcapacity, political maneuvering, or technological obsolescence. Rather, the very mission profile of command ships had shifted with the introduction of starship types capable of networked operations without external central management. Command ships were still essential in complex planetary assault or blockading operations, but compact, mission-customized designs such as the ''[[Guide: Etna\|Etna]]'' class would meet those needs from the early [[2290s]] on. Fleets operating vessels of older stock retained ''Balsons'' as their command nodes.		The ''Brenton'' and ''Balson'' classes continued command ship operations side by side until the [[2280s]].
