Omni Scale Tholian Arachnid Specialty Pinwheel 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 pinwheel tactic was well established when the Arachnid gunboats came into service. This allowed three small ships to dock, stern-to-stern-to-stern, in a triangular configuration with their weapons pointed outward. The three ships were able to combine their power and shields, making them much more effective even if they were unable to move. It was a tactic used to claim territory or survive against overwhelming odds until help arrived. Here we see three gunboats docked in this configuration, ready to survive any attack. This item’s pinwheel includes the flotilla's leader and scout PFs; combine this with the standard gunboat pinwheel for a full flotilla.

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.
