Zanon-Class

The Zanon-Class was a type of fighters used by zitian pilots.

Features
What maked the Zanon-Class special in comparison to other fighters is its harmony to other units of the class.

A Zanon-Squadron (12 or more ships) could be compared to schooling fishes. The telepathic female zitian pilots unite to a great hive mind like. Through this, the squadron looks like an organic beeing and its hard to defeat even one ship.

Casualties are very low.

Invention
The Zanon-Class was invented 179 ZT (7475 BC) on Zitia Prime near the end of the Gash-War. The idea was to make use of the telepathic abilities of the female zitians in battle. At the beginning the class was a drone, operated from a pilot in the mothership to reduce the danger for the pilots.

As the first Zanon-equiped fleet engaged the Gash homeworld, the impact was so immense that the Gash lost their last willpower and gave up the war.

Improvement
Later the Zitians realized that controling the Zanon as a drone from the mothership is inefficient because of the signal time between both ships.

The Zanon was changed to a pilot-operated fighter. This caused a higher danger for the pilot but a greater battle efficiency in the same time.

During the technological improvement of the Golden Age, the hardware of the Zanon was geared up.

Fall and Reascension
After the Prophecy and Zitia Prime were destroyed in the end of the Komar-War the Zanon-Class was forgotten.

With the Phoenix Uprising the Zanon was reinvented and regained popularity.

Meta
The class was probably named after Cole Zanon.
