ZH-25 Questor-class light freighter
The ZH-25 Questor-class light freighter, manufactured by Starfeld, was a light freighter that boasted a range comparable to that of a starfighter.
Characteristics
Riding on the coattails of the earlier Z-10 Seeker model's considerable success, the ZH-25 was designed as an advancement, offering expanded cargo capacity, enhanced life support systems incorporating fifty-five distinct bio-technologies, and improved weaponry.
The Questor variant was furnished with seventy-five Imperial Mark IV fuel cells, providing an operational duration of approximately three standard months. In lieu of the Novaldex JV-71 ion engine found in the Z-10, the ZH-25 utilized the more potent JV-74 ion engine featuring three additional collision tube pairs; however, due to its increased dimensions and mass, the ZH-25 exhibited slightly reduced sub-light speed compared to the Z-10.
The ZH-25 was equipped with dual, linked pulse lasers, a Taim & Bak design, positioned on either side of the main body near the cargo compartments. These lasers were limited to forward firing, but the ship's agility allowed the pilot to maneuver into firing positions. A Sirplex P-12 shield generator was also included. Beyond the standard armament, modifications were commonplace, frequently including forward-mounted concussion missile launchers and rear-facing laser turrets.
These advancements came at the expense of the sensor array; the Questor model utilized a somewhat less capable sensor package from the SoroSuub Corporation.
