3125 Scale Kzinti War Destroyer Transport (DWT) SR

The Kzintis are a species of eight-foot-tall felines; the Klingons call them “tigermen.” They are adjacent to the Federation (and have fought two major wars with them, losing both) and the Klingons (and have fought several wars with them, winning a few and losing a few). Kzinti ships are armed with disruptors, phasers, and drones. They have more drones on their standard warships than any other empire, and forests of phaser-3s, because their ships are designed to fight each other. (They have had more civil wars than foreign wars.) They are enemies of the Klingons and Lyrans and allies of convenience with the Hydrans and Federation.

There were never enough tugs (or medium transports) to carry all of the cargo pods for all of the needed missions. The Kzintis resorted to converting small warships to carry a single pod. They could handle a cargo pod but any combat pods (carrier pods, scout pods, drone bombardment pods, gunboat pods, battle pods) could only be carried as inactive cargo. Thus, these ships did double duty, moving combat pods from one theater of war to another and carrying cargo pods in direct support of the fleet. The Kzintis originally used the small frigate for this duty but found that the larger war destroyer was more capable and could survive better in front-line support roles.

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.
