3788 Scale Kzinti Early Frigate (YFF) SRZ

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.

Designed to patrol the borders, guard planets, and escort convoys, the Kzinti Early Frigate was capable in its class but often faced overwhelming odds due to its isolated duty. This ship's design included the improvements to its tractors and transporters that would be added to all other ships beginning in two years before the end of the First Klingo-Kzinti War. Kzinti Early Frigates were numbered and not named, although some had informal names such as YFF6, YFF8, YFF10, YFF11, YFF12, YFF13, YFF14, YFF16, YFF17 (taken to the WYN Cluster by the Usurper), YFF19, YFF21, YFF24, YFF25, YFF26, YFF27, YFF28, YFF32 taken to the WYN Cluster by the Usurper), YFF33, YFF34, and YFF35.

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.
