3125 Scale Tholian X-Ship Patrol Corvettes (3)

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.

As with all empires, there was a need to get more X-technology ships into service as quickly as possible. Most empires started with heavy cruisers but the Tholians had few of those, could produce them in limited numbers, and could ill-afford to take any out of service for conversion. Thus the Tholians became the pioneers of small X-ship production. The design is actually something of a hybrid, being about two-third destroyer and one-third corvette. Production of this class was possible only because of the extensive PC production facilities and hulls available. Most were used to defend bases against enemy X-ships due to their ability to fight behind webs. Known names include Portcullis, Borderguard, and Security.

The 3125 Scale Tholian X-Ship Patrol Corvette is also available singly.

This sprue of three ships 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.
