		+	The 2200s saw the coming of age of antiair systems, and during the defense of Chikushinal, the Zokesian Marine Corps suffered heavy losses. To rectify this, the new ZAH-1Z "Death Addler" was bought to replace aging ZAH-1W attack helos. With increased engine power and state-of-the-art weapons systems, the Death Addler promises to improve lethality and reduce losses in constested airspace.[[File:ZokeScreenshot20701.png\|left\|thumb\|368x368px\|ZAH-1W Super Python over Chikushinal]]

It was operated by both a pilot and gunner, who were seated in a stepped tandem arrangement in which the commander was placed in the rear seat while the gunner occupied the forward position. This forward position provided a higher level of visibility to that of the rear seat. Both positions were provided with flying controls while both crew would typically be certified pilots, enabling control of the Python to be exchanged quickly through the course of the mission.
