7000 Scale Carnivon Fleet Core Collection SRZ

The Carnivons are a species that is often described as “wolf-like,” but they are, in fact, genetically related to the Kzintis and Lyrans, and all three apparently descended from some ancestral species. How they came to be on such widely separated worlds is unclear. Curiously, the felinoid species (descended from solitary hunters) created fairly unified stellar empires, while the Carnivons (descended from pack hunters) remained a species rather than a nation. There is no such thing as a Carnivon “government.” Instead, at any given time, there are anywhere from a dozen to two dozen hordes (each of millions of members), each subdivided into packs (each with hundreds of thousands of members).

Carnivon ships are different from those of almost any other empire in that the crew do not have cabins or staterooms but sleep in relatively small cubicles reminiscent of caves. Most of the Carnivon crew’s off-duty time is spent in common areas engaged in various sports or other social activities.

The Lyrans and Kzintis hated the Carnivons on sight, more so even than they hated each other. It took just over 50 years for those two empires to slaughter the Carnivons.

But what if the Carnivons hadn’t been wiped out? What ships would they build?

These are the standard Carnivon ship types and cover the vast majority of their fleet. Included are a dreadnought, heavy cruiser, light cruiser, destroyer, and two frigates. This forms a powerful squadron well able to give the feline empires a spitting fit. If you want them to have a conniption, add the Carnivon Fleet Builder Collection to the mix!

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.)
