Type ZN Sagacious Obliterator Intruder
Type YP Auerin Caetian Pleasure Yacht
The Type JH was designed to be a fast, maneuverable intruder, armed
with missiles and a light laser battery. Somewhere in the development
process, a retaliation ship was requested by the Imperial Navy. Under
the designation ZN, 2 ships were built and tested.
The type ZN carries 80 half-ton projectiles in the cargo hold. These
may be offloaded during flight using the two heavy robotic arms and
released. The official designation of the craft in imperial service is
Type QK Balastor Winhoek.
At least two megacorporations are known to possess the plans for the
Type ZN. GSbAG ships YP-R15431 Auerian Caerian, YP-R15432 Auerian
Dioerika and YP-R15433 Auerian Easwyir have been identified as ZN
Intruders. Requests for information pertaining to these ships were
shuffled and reshuffled continuously.
All Type ZN ships operate their reactors at 73% efficiency during
normal operations. Each hour off full reactor usage consumes 1.25 hours
of fuel. For especially long range operations or emergency jumps the
ship may switch off the maneuver drive to perform a second jump and seek
immediate refueling.
Recently, GSbAG introduced the Type Y3. It is clearly a downgraded ZN
Intruder with lighter armament, smaller engines and computer and longer
range.

Type Y3 Gabilonne
In 1114, GSbAG introduced a new pleasure yacht. The Type Y3, sporting
a conference room (3m x 14m x 8m), convertible into a squash court or a
light pistol shooting range, a sauna/jacuzzi room (3m x 8m x 7.5m) and
single staterooms for crew and passengers alike, became a successful
product, with 78 hulls purchased.
In 011-1121, when BC-SMN049031 Zampok and its squadron jumped into the
Tavonni system (Vilis/Spinward Marches 1520) for routine refuelling, it
was a witness to a battle between a craft identifying itself as Y3-C1417
Muir Runner and a class T patrol cruiser T-N053003 Outrigger. The Muir
Runner continued to combat the Outrigger, destroying it and jumping
outsystem before the Zampok could intercept. Sensor scans showed that
the Runner exhibited much higher performance than is expected of the Y3
class, and suspicions are now rife that it has been, in fact, a ZN
Intruder, a class the Y3 closely resembles.
Examination of purchasers shows that of the 78 hulls, at least 20 were
purchased by megacorporrations, notable among them GSbAG itself (seven
hulls) and Tukera (five hulls). The records do not indicate the exact
specifications of the purchased craft, an irregularity now under
criminal investigation.
