Description

Ported to OBJ from the game stock model created by Taldren Studios for both Klingon Academy (KA) and the Starfleet Command (SFC) series of video games. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. NO MODEL DOWNLOAD.

The terms defense platform and battle satellite are largely interchangeable in most science fiction and both mean the same thing: a space-based construct, usually but not always automated (some larger designs are crewed), that is used to defend a given point in space. The difference between the two is where they're located. Battle satellites are usually found only in orbit around a large spatial body such as a planet, moon, or large asteroid and are used to defend it against enemy attack, or they can be turned inward to deal with surface-based threats. Defense platforms in the Trek multiverse, on the other hand, can be anywhere. They can be used as standard battle satellites, they can be used to defend important interstellar assets such as large space stations and starship yards, they can be seeded in an asteroid field as a nasty surprise for any enemies that have to pass through it, they can be used to defend interstellar borders without any major spatial body nearby, and so on. Again, the difference between the two is in how and where they're used, with the defense platform having a broader range of uses than a mere battle satellite in the Trek multiverse.

This is the standard late TMP era Klingon defense platform for KA, which got reused for the SFC series along with a lot of other KA stuff (nudge-nudge). BTW it also got retextured and reused as the stock defense platform for many other interstellar powers in the games, such as the Romulans. This is also good for the post-TMP era and as an older class or type in the TNG/DS9/VOY era, although I believe there are later era-specific models for that.

'IwlIj jachjaj!

ASIDE - If you're going after this one then I recommend getting it from SFC2 or SFC2OP, as they're the same model and higher poly than the one used in both KA and SFC1. Mine came from the SFC2OP 2019 fan-patched edition.
