Overview

The Kia is the standard Zhodani heavy fighter, comparable in size and performance to the Imperial Magnum class. The fighter dates back to the Fourth Frontier War, and is often found as a secondary craft aboard larger Zhodani warships, particularly battleships. Since the Collapse, thousands more have been attached to Consular Guard and Tavrchedl forces; these have been fitted with hardpoints for ground attack weapons, a development that proved baffling to outside analysts until the beginning of the Zhodani Exodus.

Based upon the original design in Adventure Ships 1 by J. Andrew Keith. Adapted from CT stats provided courtesy of Christian McDonald-Kelley.
