	The Z-41 was being drawn up as its creator, Ward Industries, was in the midst of talks with merging with [[Cythen Aerospace Industries\|Cyten Aerospace]]. As a result, the Z-41 would be the last aircraft designed under the Ward Industries name. The project was 60% completed when Cyten-Ward merged and the aerospace geniuses of the UIF were brought onboard to refine the project. A merging of the two schools of thought led to multiple revisions of the final design, and on 1 August 2158 the Z-41 prototype took to the air for the first time. The Z-41 was instantly well liked by the Zokesian navy and made its first deployment in 2159 aboard [[ZNS Imperator Drekevak (CVN-22)\|ZNS ''Imperator Drekevak'']] (CVN-22), replacing the [[F-52 Kargadan]]. The Z-41 serves as the Zokesian Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 2200s. The Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) pod system was added as an optional extra in the 2190s and integrated into the Bearcat "B", and the type soon began performing precision ground-attack missions.
