SPECIAL FEATURES

Extremely small profile hull design (for a six-seater) with exceptional acceleration for high-speed ground-units insertion to hostile zones. Rear cabin has 3 passenger seats, and sealed passenger pods are each side of the cockpit.

Zephyr's small size, high speed, and high agility, make it a difficult target for direct fire weapons without homing capability, and gives it a higher than average survivability in a gauntlet run. This is strengthened by the 4000 HP polarised hull shield ... but approach heavily defended insertion points at grass level altitude using the direct fire rockets to clear a path with support from the chin turrets.

The twin gatlings provide precision firepower with sustainability from the huge ammo capacity onboard - this shielded little ship is fully capable of killing the defences on small and medium outposts, as well as going head to head with Zirax planetary patrol ships and drone swarms ... BUT ... her primary role is to get the ground-pounders into where they need to be, and to survive long enough to get them out - her small size allowing her to hide in terrain hollows while the footsloggers do their job.

If Zephyr becomes too beaten up to extract her troops - send in a Harkinback Wild Goose Search & Rescue assault ship (see my other workshop listings for the basic Goose and the super-tough Wild Goose).

Enjoy and have fun with it.
