The first of 2 Windscorpion 18A monitors, 018-101 Windscorpion, has entered service. The ship is basically a gigantic gun, the ZMax, with a basic ship built around it. The ZMax is said to be as powerful as every Z cannon in the rest of the fleet put together. One shot from the ZMax could devastate enemy ground bases and orbital facilities.
The Windscorpion 18A is an "options ship", it is a luxury admitted Director of Operations Caratore at a media briefing aboard the ship. "Its the most specialised warship we have, maybe we will never have the right circumstance with which to use it. But it gives us another option. Obviously we could only consider such a weapon with a powerful full spectrum fleet."
The ship will be based with the fleet reserve at Proxima 5 though will be deployed on an exercise to test combat readiness soon.
