Omni Scale Tholian Base Station 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.

Base stations were originally built to expand the supply and operations network of each empire. As these empires met and established national borders, base stations were deployed to provide sensor networks that could detect any ship crossing the border. Base stations provided supply storage, repair facilities, limited shore leave opportunities, and communication networks. Before the General War, most base stations on borders had been upgraded to Battle Stations, but base stations continued to be built (and added) all over the interior of each empire. Their heavy weapons provided protection for convoys and small service ships operating in the area, much like settlers in the old west would run for the fort when hostiles attacked. Base stations provided district offices for police units, and rented office space to corporations and other entities with operations in the area.

The Base Station is available in a variety of materials. Base Stations are unpainted, use standard flight stands available from many sources, and, while designed for gaming, make fine display pieces.
