Antony--

And even if not vulnerable to infection, still vulnerable to attack,
take-over, cannibalization. I think that's a nice idea for a campaign.

As far as scabbing an AHL onto the side of a 700k Dreadnought, absolutely,
so long as it had extra jump capacity. I.e., if it were only Jump 1 it
could not, but any jump over that it would have adequate power for the
added load. An AHL is only 60k if I remember correctly.
