		+	Boy, were we evenly matched! We had been trading blows for 15 minutes. Both of our shields had been drained several times and we had both chewed though our missiles. I'd barely get my last energy bank charged and then he'd pepper me with shots and I'd have to run.

 === Overview ===
 Introduced in 3100 by [[Zorgon Petterson Group]], this is the ship that brought ZPG from being an unknown ship modifier to the household name in luxury but capable ships. Designed as an executive transport for company officials who preferred to fly themselves, the ship is moderately fast, well appointed and can be equipped with fearsome weaponry and defences to keep the assassins away.
+=== Notable features ===
 ZPG's now famous well designed and understated luxurious interior is the hallmark of this ship, and it's what keeps the ship selling year after year - even though the ship itself is decidedly average (or below average) in many other areas. Looking at the utility value of the ship as either a fighter or light trader (the cargo bay has enough room to carry 12 TC), it is extremely poor value for money at a base price of Cr. 485,000 when you consider the base price of the [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mk.III]], which is a much more capable trade or fighting ship, with the base model coming in at only Cr. 150,000.
@@ Line 33: / Line 30: @@
 Much to ZPG's chagrin (at least in public), the ship has become a favorite amongst assassins. It is also occasionally seen in pirate hands.
 == Upgrades ==
 Fer de Lance equipment bays come prefitted with high quality, custom designed equipment.
 Fittings are standardised though, so one could -as a temporary fix- replace a piece of kit with an inferior product, naturally only when no FDL-dealer is available.
