Standard Attack Fighter

The standard fighter of the Empire, the A6M Zero fighter has been designed to be a physical embodiment of the ideals of the Empire. It has a small profile, which makes it a hard target for enemy pilots. In addition due to the small size, Empire ships can carry twice the number of Zeros that it would for a normal fighter. An extreme amount of work was spent on the design, in order to make all the equipment compressed and miniaturized into the small size. As a result, the ship needs to be constantly maintained, with new parts swapped in for ones that wear out quickly.
