DESCRIPTION
The Z-99 False Flagship was a ship designed by the Toydarian shipwright, Kolveon Molo, on commission of the Zann Consortium. The light freighter was box-shaped in nature, allowing it's pilots a better view of the galaxy around them thanks to multiple windows. The Z-99 is not intended to act alone during patrol activities, but to make up the rear of a fleet's forces. In the event that combat is unavoidable however, a top-mounted Ion turret can be operated by one of the Projector Operators.The actual job of the Z-99 is to be a "False Flagship" through a new and interesting manipulation of holoprojector technology. Ten large circular devices across the freighter are capable of producing very large Holographic Disguise Matrix Projections. When all ten of these devices are used in tandem, thanks to the combined efforts of the Projector Operators, the Z-99 can disguise itself as a much larger ship. The larger ship's appearance must be pre-programmed into the projectors, and cannot be larger than 2 kilometers in length, though multiple Z-99s working together can produce larger projections. The projection appears real at a distance, but those who fly within 20 meters of the 'False Flagship' projection will notice a faint blue glow coming off the vessel. Any lasers, rockets, or other armaments fired at the holoprojection simply pass through it, though there is a chance a missed shot could hit the Z-99. Additionally, both the ship's shields and Ion turret cannot be accessed, unless the ship's Holographic projectors are turned off.
LEGALITY
Illegal. The Five Syndicates closely regulate who these vessels are sold to. Those who have acquired this ship without proper purchase and membership to the five syndicates will be punished, or worse.INTENT
To create a ship specifically designed for intimidation rather than actual combat. I believe this would be the first of it's kind.RESTRICTIONS
This particular design is exclusive to members of the Five Syndicates, as it's technology was researched by syndicate members, and is produced by syndicate shipyards, such as Kowak Drive Yards.
