3788 Scale Tholian Combat Tug 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.

In their home galaxy, the Tholians didn’t use tugs as we understand the concept. Once here, the Tholians never built a true fleet tug, using a variety of ships to complete the various tug missions. No data exists to confirm that they ever considered or saw any need for such a ship. Their territory was small and construction could be handled by auxiliaries. However, if they had expanded their territory, they might well have found tugs useful. Had they decided to build a combat tug, this is what it would look like. The ship docks one pod on the centerline with a second pod attached behind the first pod.

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.
