285 Scale Kzinti TAAS Fighter WEM

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.

The standard Kzinti fighter of the General War, the TAAS succeeded the earlier AAS and AS fighters. This was a balanced superiority/attack fighter capable of engaging enemy fighters or conducting attacks on enemy ships. It mounts two type-I standard drones and two type-VI anti-fighter drones as well as a pair of phasers. The fighter could be operated by remote control (which improved pilot life expectancy) if used within weapons range of the carrier, or it could operate with a pilot over considerable distances (500 parsecs or more).

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.
