285 Scale Tholian Spider-IV Heavy Assault Fighter

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.

Like most empires, the Tholians built a heavy fighter. It was extensively deployed on bases (three per hangar module) and was sometimes assigned to carriers, where each Spider-IV occupies two external bays. This fighter carries two charges for each of its two disruptors. It can be used to spin web.

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.
