3125 Scale Tholian Heavy War Destroyer (PF Tender)

Tholians are a crystalline species that once ruled the M81 Galaxy. When the Tholian Will was overthrown by the Seltorians, some small groups of Tholians fled to other galaxies. One small group of Tholians reached the Milky Way, where they took over the easternmost part of Klingon space, the part that originally bordered the Romulans. They called this the Tholian Holdfast. The Tholians (who considered carbon-based life to be lower than bacteria) enslaved Klingon colonies in the region and kept the Klingons at bay by their (at the time) superior technology. Their foes, the Seltorians, arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy later.

Heavy war destroyers were enlarged destroyer hulls, but more than that, they were (across the galaxy) designed as modular ships which could be quickly reconfigured for many missions including combat, fighter carrier, scout, commando ship, cargo ship, or (as seen here) gunboat/PFT tender. The ship had special sensors to find target for the six gunboats of the embarked flotilla to attack and to support them and the fleet with electronic warfare. The ship was equipped with system to repair damage gunboats and keep them in action without having to return to base after every battle. Due to Tholian problems in building multiple hull types, their Heavy War Destroyer was actually not much heavier than their Destroyer, and nowhere near as heavy as the heavy war destroyers of other empires.

This 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.
