The Zhodq class System Defense Boat is a defensive warship.

• It is a paramilitary ship and a System Defense Boat.

Description (Specifications)

This is the most modern of Zhodani SDB's. The Zhodq class has very sophisticated weapons, defenses and electronics, and can give even the best of Imperial ships a hard time. Since the Zhodani have a rather aggressive strategic doctrine, they have also deployed these vessels in an offensive manner, carried by riders. In this role, Zhodq class boats have participated in assaults, supporting Consulate ground troops with their lasers and energy weapons.
