Product Description
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.
When the Tholians arrived in the Milky Way, their patrol corvette outgunned Klingon and Federation cruisers due to the superiority of Tholian technology. The Tholians, however, could not improve their technology while the galaxy around them built more and more powerful ships, eventually outclassing the patrol corvette. The Tholians in the Milky Way, however, being only a relatively small colony with no experience building larger ships, created a workable cruiser by turning two PCs sideways and merging their "upper" fins in a single hull structure. The result was the equal of any cruiser in service at the time, despite somewhat awkward internal arrangements. Four years after the Neo-tholians arrived, a Neo-Tholian command module was wrecked in combat with the Klingons. The Tholians found the hull unsalvageable, but were able to recover the web caster. In order to get it back into service, it was mounted on the command cruiser Protector that same year. Two years later, the Tholians were able to build limited numbers of web casters and mount them on other hulls such as the heavy cruiser.
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.
