Product Description
The WYN Star Cluster stands as a huge beacon at the crossroads of the galaxy. Marking the point where the Klingon, Lyran, and Kzinti borders meet, the cluster itself was long considered uninhabitable. Surrounded by a dense cloud of highly radioactive dust, it was assumed that the entire cluster was saturated with deadly radiation. All residents of the WYN Cluster are immigrants from other species and empires.
The Auxiliary Heavy Mauler may be one of the great myths of the WYN Cluster. The story goes that after the Inter-Stellar Concordium and Andromedan incursions, the Post-Usurper government built this ship to block any further intrusions. Generally it is believed that the ship was never built (given the troubles of the Nancy), but the Cluster remains very tight-lipped and at best “neither confirms or denies” the existence of this ship.
The design used type-C drone racks instead of the more familiar type-Bs because it was intended to get close, stay close, and destroy its target. Only large battery banks were used as the ship was intended to kill large warships before they could recover from the effects of passage through the radiation zone. Analysts believed the ship would suffer from all the mechanical problems of the Nancy, and might be a final conversion of that ship after it failed as an auxiliary battle control ship.
This ship originally appeared in Star Fleet Times #40. Using it in a game requires permission from the opponent’s girlfriend (or mother, sister, child, sibling, significant other, or other potentially bribable person designated by the opponent).
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.
