7000 Scale Gorn Fleet Refitted Core Collection SRZ

The Gorns are six-to-seven-foot-tall, 350-pound, cold-blooded, egg-laying, reptilian humanoids bearing a superficial resemblance to a T-Rex or Raptor. Despite the fearsome visage, they are actually quite civilized people who run one of the few democracies in the galaxy. The Federation and Gorns met in a border incident in which two hot-headed captains shot first and faced embarrassing questions later. (A Federation corporation built an unauthorized colony outside of Federation territory. The Gorns saw a few Vulcans and thought the colonists were Romulans (with which they had fought wars for over a century). Diplomats smoothed everything over and the Gorns became the most stable ally of the Federation. The Gorn legislature’s reluctance to spend money or join the Federation’s war limited this alliance during some periods. (Note: The dinosaur-based names are Federation “reporting names” because few in the Federation could pronounce the Gorn names for them. Shown books on paleontology, the Gorns were reportedly honored and amused by the naming convention.)

This collection contains one each of six original Gorn hulls (dreadnought, heavy battlecruiser, battlecruiser, light cruiser, destroyer, and frigate) which would form the core of any Gorn fleet, or it could be combined with the Gorn Fleet Refitted Builder Collection to produce a complete fleet. These ships received the “plus” refit. The scaled panels on the outer surfaces represent efforts to reduce the electronic signature of the ships and match it to the original so the enemy could not tell the difference.

This sprue of unpainted ships is designed to fit on a typical 5/8-inch hex map or to allow more room on a larger hex map. (If used for A Call to Arms: Star Fleet, simply change the measurements from inches to centimeters.)
