285 Scale Kzinti Large Fast Attack Shuttle Killer

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.

The original Kzinti Large Attack Shuttle had been of only limited use (despite the extensive weapons load) due to its slower speed. Improved engines produced the Large Fast Attack Shuttle which was far more useful. The Large Fast Attack Shuttle Killer shown here had an improved weapons loadout including six standard anti-ship drones (two of these could be replaced by a type-IV heavy drone), four dogfight drones, and two special drones. While gunboats were even more effective, no empire could build enough of anything and double-sized fighters soldiered on throughout the General War, most often on planetary defense duty but also on standard carriers that were easily converted to replace the single-sized fighters with half as many double-sized ones.

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.
