HistoryEdit

Main article: Zsinj

MilitaryEdit

Zsinj's Empire continued to use old Imperial vehicles as a bulk of its fleet. Zsinj had resources to use multiple Imperial-class Star Destroyers in battle.^[1] During the Battle of Talasea Zsinj's forces used a EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate and a CR90 corvette.^[2] Other ships included Victory-class Star Destroyers, Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers, Lancer-class frigates, Carrack-class cruisers and Quasar Fire-class bulk cruisers.^[3] Zsinj's Empire was also in possess of more exotic tools of war such as the Orbital Nightcloaks and Zsinj's flagship, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought Iron Fist.

Zsinj's forces primarily used standard Imperial TIE series starfighters such as TIE/ln starfighters, TIE/In interceptors and TIE/sa bombers. However, the Rancor Base also designed an unofficial Zsinj-exclusive TIE variant named TIE Raptor. Although not as fast as a TIE Interceptor, this fighter was as maneuverable as an A-wing, and heavily armed, with four laser cannons and two concussion missile tubes. A few prototypes were also equipped with shields.

A part of the Stormtrooper Corps was under Zsinj's command,^[4] however, without Imperial Academies or Cloning facilities the numbers of Stormtroopers, already an elite force, began to dwindle. Unlike other Imperial breakaway Warlords who chose to equip regular Imperial Army troops with stormtrooper armor, Zsinj took a different path. He created the Raptors, a special forces unit, charged with enforcing Zsinj's will throughout his growing territory, which was arguably more loyal to Zsinj than the stormtroopers had been to Emperor Palpatine and his legal successors. With their distinctive black armor and equipment decked out in such colors as black, red, and yellow, they were commonly considered the most recognized symbol of Zsinj's power.
