2500 Scale Neo-Tholian Light Cruiser (NCL) 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 Tholian ships seen earlier were all variations of the Patrol Corvette, a frigate sized ship designed as a heavy police unit. The Tholian Dyson Sphere that arrived in our galaxy was not fitted with a military shipyard, but it had facilities to maintain and produce police ships. In the middle of the General War, a squadron of Tholian military ships arrived from the M81 Galaxy. These were designed from the start as military warships and were quite capable in those roles.

This is the light cruiser, the mainstay of the Tholian Will's home fleet. A small number of these ships arrived in this galaxy but the Tholians could not build more of these military types. It is the most commonly seen Neo-Tholian ship, and virtually the only one to operate outside of Tholian territory. These ships supported smaller battle groups, but command usually remained with a standard (old) dreadnought or command cruiser.

This ship is available in a variety of materials. Ships are unpainted and, while designed for gaming in one-to-one tabletop battles, make fine display pieces.
