Stalwart Starship – Three in One

Stalwart Starship – Three in One

It is said that good things come in threes and we think our 28-mm scaled Stalwart is the perfect example of that. The saucer, the drive and the nacelles can all work as standalones, and when merged together your imagination can take you where no human has gone before.

It Started with a Saucer

The Stalwart has been made with help from those in our Tribe and since it is a rather big ship, when all parts are assembled, it has been released as three separate items. The initial release was the free-flying saucer. It took of in November 2023 as a Tribe item, but can now be found in our store at MyMinifactory.

This was offered to our Tribe members in November 2023. Besides the Stalwart Saucer they also got a character mini, Bessie the Engineer.

The Stalwart Saucer measures a compact yet commanding 17 cm x 22 cm x 7 cm, making it an essential addition to your tabletop fleet. Everything prints without supports and has articulated doors and chairs for an immersive tabletop experience. Assembly is warp-speed easy, using no glue, thanks to the intuitive OpenLOCK and Supporty Clips system.

Then the Drive Came Along

The Stalwart Drive attaches to the Stalwart saucer but can function as its own standalone ship. It has a retractable navigation dish, a generous cargo bay, a replicator and crew amenities. The Stalwart Drive was February 2024’s offering from 2nd Dynasty on Tribes.

In February 2024 the next part of the Stalwart, the Drive, was a Tribe membership offer along with the starfighter JAS 41 Vampyren. Both can be found in our store at Myminifactory.

And the Nacelles made it Complete

In addition to attaching to the Stalwart Saucer the Stalwart Drive can attach Warp Nacelles which completes the Stalwart Starship. We have five compatible Nacelle variants, and in addition to the Nacelles themselves, we have three variant pieces for the Stalwart Drive that allow you to swap out the Warp Engine Mounts for alternative positions and configurations.

The Muse struck when the nacelles was designed and the Starstreak Warp Rider came along for the ride. The five nacelles variants, the three Warp Engine Mounts, the Starstreak and a Phaser Turret was offered to our Tribe members in March 2024.

But that is not all. The Nacelles are also compatible with the Starstreak Warp Rider, which is envisaged as a joyrider that can zoom around a solar system in a few hours, but is too slow for interstellar travel. It is basically a warp nacelle with an underslung cab that provides basic raditation shielding and cargo capacity, as well as sublight thrusters.
