Product Description
The Lyrans are human-sized cats that bore a distinct similarity to Terran lynxes in both appearance and temperament. Bitter enemies of the Kzintis (tigermen eight feet tall), the Lyrans were staunch allies of the Klingons and enemies of the Hydrans as well. Like Kzintis, Lyrans were carnivores known to eat their captives on rare occasions. The Federation assigned each Lyran ship-type a "reporting name" to keep them separate. Lyrans were organized as a feudal society. Twenty-one counties each had a squadron of ships lead by a heavy cruiser; four dukes had dreadnoughts to lead the four fleets, while the king-emperor commanded from the capital.
The catamaran light cruiser was designed for easy conversion into the trimaran battlecruiser, which was equivalent to a heavy cruiser in firepower. Since light cruiser production had converted over to the war cruiser, no more light cruisers were built except as part of constructing a new battlecruiser from scratch. The Wildcat battlecruiser within each duchy was part of the Homeworld fleet under the command of a marshal loyal only to the king-emperor. His purpose was to remind the local duke of the preeminence of royal power and to act as the king-emperor’s agent when required. The Aztek panels on the outer surfaces represent efforts to reduce the electronic signature of the refitted Wildcat and match it to the original Wildcat so the enemy could not tell the difference.
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.
