3125 Scale Kzinti Scout Destroyer (DDS) SRZ

The Kzintis are a species of eight-foot-tall felines; the Klingons call them "tigermen." They are adjacent to the Federation (and have fought two major wars with them, losing both) and the Klingons (and have fought several wars with them, winning a few and losing a few). Kzinti ships are armed with disruptors, phasers, and drones. They have more drones on their standard warships than any other empire, and forests of phaser-3s, because their ships are designed to fight each other. (They have had more civil wars than foreign wars.) They are enemies of the Klingons and Lyrans and allies of convenience with the Hydrans and Federation.

The Kzintis, like everyone else, began the General War with frigate-based scouts designed to spot the enemy at long range then get out of the way before the battle started. Once it was determined that scouts were needed for jamming and counter-jamming in mid-battle (and that frigate-based scouts were too vulnerable) the Kzintis turned to their next larger ship, the disappointing destroyer class. As few destroyers were built, few were available for conversion, but these ships served until the end of the General War (many were later converted to gunboat tenders).

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.
