The
Space Squadrons
Stellardate: 2998 line
of miniatures was produced by Grenadier Miniatures
between 1978 and 1982. Grenadier
is no longer in business and though some of their other lines
of minis have been sold to
other companies and are still available, this line has
never reappeared though printable 3D models can now be found.

"SPACE SQUADRONS
2998 is the ultimate in miniature spacecraft design
available to the Science fiction gamer. More
important is the fact that this is the only line with
the Support and Supply Craft essential to the finer sets

 Auxillary Belt Fleet
The independant colonies and systems can't count on
the Earth Federation for defense against pirates or
the invasion. These ships provide basic
defense with just basic beam weapons though the
massive mass drivers on the attack cruiser can be
very dangerous. To protect themselves these
independants have created minefields as a passive
defense. |
