Wow this is a lot better and fits the lore, in the end the Initiative was a joint project between all races. Are you keeping the faction system via research? If so I got an idea for the Systems Alliance.
Instead of having 2 Berlins (reserve or refit) make the Berlin the stock cruiser while the Geneva is unlocked at Lv 2 Research and choosing preserve or sacrifice will buff the Berlin differently.
Preserve: “the battle of the Citadel proved to the Alliance directive the need of a dedicated EWAR/ECM vessel, as the Berlin is an aging out ship and being replaced with the new Geneva Cruiser the Alliance decided to reuse the Berlin for this role, refitting them with top of the line electronic warfare systems and firewalls to protect the vessel.” (a bit of lore :D) so choosing this will grant the Berlin an active ability that debuffs enemies (for example reducing the rate of fire, turning speed and max speed) and perhaps as now Udina is the head of the council the Alliance gets softer restrictions about technology limitation which gives also a damage buff for the main gun of the Berlin (?).
Sacrifice: “the battle of the Citadel proved to the Alliance directive how unprepared they were to long engagements and the need of a dedicated support vessel to improve the chance of survival for the fleets. The remaining Berlins where refitted with top of the line drone control systems and a vast amount of drone wings that made on-site repairs if needed” and this would give the Berlins an active ability to repair friendly vessels and perhaps equip them with cyclonic barriers (?).
