3788 Scale Carnivon Early Wolf Heavy Cruiser (YCA)

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) were able to create 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.

The Early Wolf Heavy Cruiser (sometimes referred to as the Wolf Heavy Cruiser (CA) is the traditional flagship of a Horde Warlord. It packed a serious punch for the Early Years era.

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.
