3788 Scale Kzinti Medium Dreadnought (DNM) SRZ

The Kzintis are a species of eight-foot-tall felines; the Klingons call them "tigermen." They are adjacent to the Federation (and have fought two major wars with them, losing both) and the Klingons (and have fought several wars with them, winning a few and losing a few). Kzinti ships are armed with disruptors, phasers, and drones. They have more drones on their standard warships than any other empire, and forests of phaser-3s, because their ships are designed to fight each other. (They have had more civil wars than foreign wars.) They are enemies of the Klingons and Lyrans and allies of convenience with the Hydrans and Federation.

Each empire developed designs to turn their light raiding dreadnoughts into full dreadnoughts, designating them medium dreadnoughts for clarity. The Kzintis lost both of their light dreadnoughts before the medium dreadnought concept appeared. This design reflects what they would have built had the light dreadnoughts remained available. It uses the “saddle bag” concept of other ship designs, albeit with different systems, and the rear pylons of the heavy dreadnought. Known names include Lightning Fist and Thundermark.

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.
