3788 Scale Romulan SparrowHawk-T+ 1-Pod Transport

The Romulans eventually felt the need for a true Light Tactical Transport that could carry pods, construction materials for base upgrades, components of a mobile base, or ground bases for deployment (something the tugs and light tactical transports of every other empire could do). They undertook to modify SparrowHawk hulls for this purpose, permanently ending the modularity for that individual ship but provided three attachment points for cargo pods, one below the hull on the centerline and two above the hull on either side (where the modules would have been placed). The ship can carry one pod at nearly fleet speeds, and two pods at a reduced but still strategically viable speed. It can never carry three pods. If carrying two pods, the pods are inert, and cannot be operational elements such as battle pods or carrier pods. The ship can carry Klingon, Romulan, or civilian 40x200 meter cylindrical pods, as well as pairs of ground bases or pod-sized items such as the components of a mobile base. This ship does have a cloaking device. The SparrowHawk-T+ was produced during the late war period in the shipyards of a different Great House than the original, accounting for the visual difference.

The ship is available in a variety of materials. (Smooth Fine Detail Plastic makes an excellent cloaked ship!) Ships are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
