3125 Scale Tholian Heavy War Destroyer (HDW) SRZ

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.

The Tholians were very impressed by the flexibility shown by the Federation and Klingon heavy war destroyers. These were slightly enlarged war destroyers with the ability to change mission modules which would allow the ship to be rapidly reconfigured for whatever the fleet¹s overall mission required. A heavy war destroyer could be swiftly converted to a scout, carrier, commando ship, transport, or escort. This ship was a design study to determine if it were possible to build a heavy war destroyer. Ultimately, the dearth of support systems that had to be given up to make the ship modular doomed the design. It simply did not have as much all around capabilities as the true HDWs of the other empires. This is what it would have looked like had it been constructed. Note it carries two Spider fighters.

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.
