[Jestersmith]

The Lobi Crystal Consortium is pleased to announce that it has acquired a starship from a recently disgraced section of double secret Romulan Intelligence, the Zhat Vash’s Dhailkhina Command Strike Wing Warbird. This powerful strike vessel was built to the highest standards in the secretes shipyards, only recently seeing the light of day. And now, this starship can be yours!

The Dhailkhina Command Strike Wing Warbird [T6] will be available within the Picard Lockbox, coming soon to Star Trek Online! This new starship can be used as soon as you’ve completed the tutorial, and will scale with you as you level up all the way to max level!

For the details on this ship, read on!



Dhailkhina Command Strike Wing Warbird [T6]

The Dhailkhina was built to be the command vessel of a fleet intended to protect all biological life from the threat of annihilation. With the Romulan’s typical strike first mentality in mind, it features a powerful Battle Cloaking device to get the jump on its targets, an aggressive weapons layout, a hangar bay of strike craft well suited for recon or fighting, and impressive team coordination abilities. Should it ever engage in battle, there’s little question as to who would come out on top.

This starship features a Commander Tactical/Command Specialist Bridge Officer seat and a Lieutenant Commander Universal/Intel Specialist Bridge Officer seat.

Eng: 43
Sci: 18
Special: +10 Tac per TacShip




Console - Universal - Bombing Run

This console summons several Heavy Bombers to attack your target, dealing heavy Kinetic and Plasma Damage.

This console also provides a passive boost to Plasma Damage and Critical Hit Chance. This console can be equipped on any starship, in any console slot. Only one of these consoles may be equipped on a ship at a time.



Experimental Weapon - Carbon Scorcher

The Carbon Scorcher deals physical damage to its target. Additionally, the impact leaves behind a molecular solvent that eats through inorganic material, dealing heavy physical damage over time and decreasing the damage resistance rating of the target.
Starship Trait - Commanded Singularities



While this trait is slotted, activating any Command or Singularity ability will summon a micro singularity at your current target for several seconds, dealing kinetic damage and pulling foes inwards. If you do not have a foe targeted, it will instead appear 5km in front of you. This can only occur once per several seconds.
Snakehead Squadron Hangar Pets

The Zhat Vash developed the Snakehead fighters to aid their larger starships in battle. These fighters are extremely nimble and use their Zhat Vash weaponry to destructive effect.

Owning the Dhailkhina Command Strike Wing Warbird will unlock purchase of these new fighter pets. These fighter pets may be equipped on any other starship you own that has a hangar bay. The Dhailkhina comes equipped with one hangar of Snakeheads, and additional may be purchased from the EC Store, with Advanced and Elite versions available through the Dilithium and Fleet vendors, respectively.

Dang, I kinda want that ship.

[Mister Havoc]

Well... I really like that ship.

[Sul-Matuul]

That's a cool looking ship.
Will need to watch the exchange prices for this one I think.

And a cool Rom-KDF warbird for the anniversary as well.....pretty good time to start flying warbirds! So much for the year of Klingon!

[ForTheGamer]

That trait is pretty swell for Command focused ships. Gonna need to get me it just for the trait alone.

[Tain]

Hmm.. I do like the ship trait and console, not to mention is is a nice lookin ship..

[Distant Knight]

Did they just put beam FAW on a hanger pet with only cannons?

[Sorotia]

I kinda want to get one...but I'm hesitant just because of how awful the blog post on it was lol

The fighters seem throw away...cannon pets typically perform worse than beam pets and this one doesn't even have a turret so there are gonna be times it does no damage.

Trait sounds nice if it does decent damage....would fit well with a idea I have.

Did they just put beam FAW on a hanger pet with only cannons?

The blog has multiple errors it seems....fighters only have cannons but says faw. The zhat vash weapons are disruptors but the console is listed to do and boost plasma damage,

[darthnovawave]

Did they just put beam FAW on a hanger pet with only cannons?

Blog has since been updated to say it is CSV1, not FAW1

[Sul-Matuul]

EMERGENCY POWER TO PROOFREAD!!!!!!

[Taku]

It looks like a giant Romulan Pilot Escort.

I guess it kind of is. There are pilots in it...

[Sorotia]

I was kinda hoping it would have a pilot slot on it to be honest.....soooo many ships with command or intelligence on them, but either way first lock box in a while I've been interested in.
