| Description: |
The Feldspar War Cruiser was the premier Tholian cruiser of its day. Heavily armed, shielded, and armored, the Feldspar could best almost any other enemy starship in a fair fight. The operational range of the Feldspar was also excellent, allowing it to travel further from Tholian space on reconnaissance sorties.
The Tholians commonly used the Feldspar as a power projection warship, sending them into enemy space to attack targets in a pro-active form of defense. Such pinpoint assaults by Feldspar War Cruisers were often successful in deterring future attacks from the Tholian’s weaker neighbors. In particular, early Cardassian raids against Tholian territories were quickly stopped by just such attacks on their still young space infrastructure.
The Feldspar War Cruiser design was a good one and continues to serve into the modern era. The ships are no longer the pinnacle of Tholian technology but instead serve as light cruisers to supplement the firepower of larger, more modern warships.
