Note: The below stats are for the Type-1P battlecruiser variant that has plasma torps vs photons. This being an effort to sway the more 'traditional' plasma liking commanders to embrace the Tal class for more construction.

Shortly after the construction of the first 4 Tal class battlecruisers, 2 more Type-1s were built but with the difference being the photon torpedoes fore and aft were replaced by two forward firing RPL-3s. This was an attempt to draw interest, use and contracts for further Tal class constructions over more favored class ships. Unfortunately, these efforts fell on deaf ears and only 2 Type-1P variant ships were built and put into service.

During the refit of the original Type-1 Tals another effort was made to create a plasma armed variant. Construction of 4 more Type-2Ps and refitting of the original Type-1Ps was complete by 2294. Testing and use saw a bit more interest and acceptance over the original Type-1P and by 2301 another 10 had been constructed. Eventually use of both Type-2s found commanders mixing/matching ships to compliment each other.

In an interesting twist of fate, the final refit variant of the plasma armed Tal class did not occur until early 2330. Having foregone the refit and building during the 2310s in preparation for invading and raiding on Gorn space at the time, the Type-2Ps went into the combat as designed and fared decently when escorted. Only 2 Type-2Ps were lost during this action. By 2328 though a newer form of plasma missile was being brought into use throughout the Star Navy. A band of by now dedicated Tal supporters for both variants of the aging battlecruiser pooled their resources and got all 10 remaining Type-2Ps refitted to use the new RPT-2 design. They also adjusted the single disruptor emitter in the forward arc to provide additional coverage in the rear arcs. Minor structural changes meant that the aging design was weaker but still sound, and would continue to serve much like the other Type-3s in use around the Empire into the 2360s and 70s. Sadly by the end of the Dominion war all 9 remaining Type-3Ps had been destroyed or so badly damaged that they were scrapped.
