3788 Scale Lyran X-Ship Refitted Destroyer (DWX)

The Lyrans are human-sized cats that bore a distinct similarity to Terran lynxes in both appearance and temperament. Bitter enemies of the Kzintis (tigermen eight feet tall), the Lyrans were staunch allies of the Klingons and enemies of the Hydrans as well. Like Kzintis, Lyrans were carnivores known to eat their captives on rare occasions. The Federation assigned each Lyran ship-type a "reporting name" to keep them separate. Lyrans were organized as a feudal society. Twenty-one counties each had a squadron of ships lead by a heavy cruiser; four dukes had dreadnoughts to lead the four fleets, while the king-emperor commanded from the capital.

Designed to fill out an X-squadron, the Lyran X-Ship Advanced Destroyer used specially reinforced Alleycat War Destroyer hulls built for the purpose. Mass-production hulls could not stand the strain of supporting X-technology. Known names include Abolition, Bloodguard, Deathfire, Firestar, Icefire, and Rockfire. The Aztek panels on the outer surfaces represent efforts to reduce the Refitted X-Ship Destroyer’s electronic signature and match it to the original X-Ship Advanced Destroyer so the enemy could not tell the difference.

The ship is available in a variety of materials. Ships are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
