Product Description
An independent entity inside the Federation, the North Polar Republic is centered on the planet Arcticalia which orbits the star Polaris. The diminutive but industrious people who live there are genetically related the Vulcans, but have average humanoid intelligence and a sparkling sense of humor. Their republic is a rich one, generating far more resources than they could ever need, but rather than trading with Federation planets they give away their wealth to planets undergoing some crisis or disaster, or to planets which appear (to the government of the Elvenolore folk) to need a boost to their spirits in order to reach higher orders of cultural development. The galaxy is a dangerous place, however, and the North Polar Republic maintains a serious fleet of warships intended to not only defend their republic but to protect their ships that deliver relief and cultural supplies to other worlds.
The Candy Cane Light Cruiser is the equivalent of the Klingon D5 or Federation NCL war cruisers. It mounts four photon torpedoes, eight phasers, and a missile rack on a light cruiser hull. This is the most numerous cruiser in the North Polar Republic fleet, if only because the heavy cruisers are divided into four radically different types. Known names include Peppermint, Spearmint, Chocolatemint, Clovermint, Applemint, Berrymint, Triplemint, Freshmint, Glorymint, Halomint, Indiamint, Jalapenomint, Ketchupmint, Liquormint, Melangemint, and Nitromint.
This 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.
