3125 Scale Tholian Patrol Corvette Pinwheel 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.

An enterprising Tholian commodore invented the first pinwheel when confronted by a larger Klingon force. The three patrol corvettes under his command simply backed into each other (as if they were going to lay web) and used their web generators to dock the three ships into a single unit surrounded by web. This produced an instant "fortress in space" allowing the small ships to survive in the face of overwhelming odds until reinforcements could arrive.

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.
