3788 Scale Tholian DPW Dreadnought 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 ultimate expression of the Tholian penchant for assembling patrol corvette hulls into larger ships, the Tholian dreadnought was weaker than most ships that carried that designation, but all that the Tholians could build. Over the years, they continually refitted the few dreadnoughts they had built with added power and weapons. The final version was the DPW, which carried photon torpedoes (a gift from the Federation to entice them into the Grand Alliance) and web casters (built from spare parts carried by the arriving Neo-Tholian ships).

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.
