@@davidatkinson47 They were only allowed to have one warship in their entire "Navy." Only allowed to defend the Voyager 1 Space Probe.

If the fighters don't have to divert power to things like hyperspace drives can you imagine how much power would be available for maneuvering engines, shields and weapons?
Reminds me of Mass Effect where Council had a limit on the number of Dreadnought ships any species could own so Humanity built a bunch of equally size "Carrier" ships. ;)

In mountain, Where the hell did they hide the second ship?!?! I'm not worried about the legality of what they did, building a second one, there's technicalities that can help. But where the hell did they put it?
It was probably out in the open and labeled a "civilian station" or some such thing. Turning it into a warship probably just required adding thrusters, a hyperdrive, and weapons... Or maybe it had all those things already under different labels and on paper was owned by a private corporation.
Seems pretty clear that the inspectors had long since stopped inspecting to make sure the treaty was followed. Any competent inspector would have at least occasionally visited the allowed ship, I'd think.
The treaty said only one active warship. The second one was an "unfinished" replacement. Fun fact a warship is considered active only if it meets the skeleton Crew level. As in. If you have to have 10 people to run the ship and you only have five on it then it's not active
