Product Description
The Omega Octant is east of the Alpha Octant empires seen in the Star Fleet Universe (beyond the Inter-Stellar Concordium), on the other side of a galactic void. That void is a dead zone where life is impossible and ships fall apart, marking a separation between Octants. The Koligahr are a species of aquatic jellyfish-like invertebrates rimward of Maesron space. The Koligahr Solidarity was defeated in the First Great War by the Maesron Alliance, but later rose to superpower status due to the Maesron Civil War and Collapse. Koligahr ships are armed with microphasers, antimatter cloud generators, and antimatter cannons. The spherical hull sections of the ships are built underwater, and then launched into space to be assembled in orbit. This method of construction allowed the spheres to be built in bulk and combined into whatever type of ship was needed.
Rather than using the standard patrol boat as the basis for their Early Gunboat Tender, the Koligahr turned to their patrol scout to develop this variant. As with the Maesron Early Gunboat Tender, the PSP lacked any sort of repair facilities to maintain its flotilla of gunboats. They soon learned the same lessons as the Maesrons learned, in that the ship was vulnerable to enemy fire and limited its flotilla to “one-shot” sorties. However, unlike the Maesrons (who rapidly retired their frigate-sized gunboat tender once a cruiser-sized gunboat tender entered service), the Koligahr kept this variant in service for some time (despite never providing a repair refit), even after the deployment of their own cruiser-sized gunboat tender.
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.
