The Ward Industries ZQ-1 Thresher (often referred to as the Thresher drone) is a Zokesian remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) built by Ward Industries that was used primarily by the Zokesian Royal Air Force. Conceived in the early 2150s for aerial reconnaissance and forward observation roles, the Thresher carries cameras and other sensors. It was modified and upgraded to carry and fire two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles or other munitions. The aircraft entered service in 2159, and saw combat in various wars in Belka, Arvene, Sahr, and Puge-Tatar, in addition to being used by border patrol and the Confederate Coast Guard for international maritime enforcement of trade regulations.
