Development

The Z-41 first flew on 1 August 2168 and made its first deployment in 2169 with the Zokesian Navy aboard 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 in the 2190s and the Bearcat began performing precision ground-attack missions. T
