3788 Scale Tholian Stellar Domination Ship (SDS)

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.

While the Tholians never built a battleship, there is no doubt that had they done so, the ship would have been used as the basis for what is arguably the best Stellar Domination Ship design in the Alpha Octant. Because the Tholians used external fighter bays, they would not have had to give up internal systems (power and weapons) to add a dozen fighters to the six gunboats.

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.
