Oh, and interesting note, the Soyuz is likely significantly larger than the Bird of Prey she is designed to fight.
The Soyuz is 127 meters long, 17.5 meters tall, and 102.5 meters wide, and most of that is ship volume.
A Bird of Prey canonically seems to be roughly 109 meters long, 20 meters tall, and 92 meters wide, and most of that length is neck and significant amounts of that height is wing drop.
And it is quite likely that the bird of prey has a single thruster. There isn't much space to mount one save directly behind the main hull. With it's low mass it can likely obtain good or very good maneuverability without needing a second thruster.
Note, the canonical MASS of a Bird of Prey is 30,000 tons.
We went with a 150,000 ton space frame.
I think there is good odds we are literally 5 times bigger than a Bird of Prey. Unless it is off our charts in terms of speed that's a nightmare for it.
