Product Description
The Lyran Democratic Republic (LDR) began as the Dark Star County of the Enemy's Blood Duchy of the Lyran Empire. The ruling family was corrupt, and a revolution slaughtered the family and declared a democracy, but still loyal to Enemy's Blood. The Duke decided to remove the democrats and install his second son as the new count, which would strengthen his rule as he would be able to count on his son's support. The adjacent Foremost Duchy thought it better if the Dark Star County became independent as this would weaken their rivals at Enemy's Blood. Dark Star County eventually became fully independent, albeit only because Foremost protected it from Enemy's Blood. The LDR then made a deal with the Hydrans, gaining Gatling phaser technology in exchange for a promise to never rejoin the Lyran Empire. Their "smooth hull" ships reflect the cleaner lines of thought and lower maintenance support of the republic.
The LDR war cruiser was a typical war cruiser of the General War, with 90% of the firepower of a heavy cruiser at 60% of the cost. It is the equal in firepower and survivability of any war cruiser in Kzinti, Hydran, Klingon, or Federation space. The LDR converted their only destroyer into a war cruiser, renaming it Chairman Pathau. The ship suffered from many of the liabilities of the original Jaguar war cruiser design, but packed a powerful punch because of its superior phaser suite, particularly the close-range firepower of the phaser-Gs.
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.
