The TTCombat Dropfleet Commander PHR Core Ships 1/9150 Scale box set is a multi-option plastic hobbyist building kit designed for expanding or starting a Post-Human Republic fleet. It features advanced orbital warships suited for intermediate and veteran tabletop miniature hobbyists due to its highly modular build configurations.
What is the PHR Core Ships fleet box?
The PHR Core Ships box set is an unassembled plastic model kit that provides the foundational heavy tonnage for the Post-Human Republic faction in Dropfleet Commander orbital warfare. This adaptable kit lets you assemble a diverse combination of heavy cruisers and high-speed frigates to tailor your fleet to specialized tactical roles.
A tiny portion of humanity turned its back on mankind in the waning days of the last Golden Age. Over one and a half centuries later, the PHR have emerged from the shadows as an unrecognisable civilisation, its people irrevocably changed. They are no longer simple human beings, they are post-humans—cyborgs.
The PHR is a nation of elites guided by the enigmatic White Sphere, a mysterious object of immense power. With remarkable speed, they have made technological advancements surpassing those of the UCM.
What is included in the TTCombat PHR Core Ships kit?
This TTCombat model kit contains multi-part plastic sprues to build a total of seven highly detailed miniature warships along with all necessary flight stands and reference materials. The components are engineered to give you complete freedom over which specific ship variants join your active battleline.
Box Contents

What are the gaming features of the PHR faction?
The supremely tough PHR fleet delivers superlative firepower through massed weapon broadsides, producing a maximum damage output unmatched by other races. This elite, heavily armored playstyle relies on punishing salvo fire profiles, making them a formidable wall of steel in low-planet orbit.
However, their limited fire arcs require a skillful hand at the helm to unleash a punishing double salvo. This boxed set is the perfect way to get started with a PHR fleet or add to an existing one, since it can be configured to almost any tactical requirement.

What tools and supplies are required for assembly?
As an unassembled plastic model kit, this tabletop miniature set requires standard hobby assembly tools, specialized adhesives, and paints to achieve a tournament-ready finish. The components arrive unpainted on sprue frames and demand careful preparation before entering active play.
Hobby Note: Clear acrylic bases will require super glue and may have a protective blue film on one side that will need removing before your games begin. Refer to the flight stand section of PHR_Frigate_Instructions.jpg to see how the clear parts, tracking widgets, and dials layer onto the base post-painting without being glued shut.
