Zorgon Petterson Group

The famous Fer-de-Lance

Zorgon Petterson are best known for their expensive and luxurious Fer-de-Lance, introduced back in 3100. Overnight, they turned from being a small insignificant tweaker of other spaceships into being the ultimate crafters of luxury and elegance. The long list of fine touches to their Fer-de-Lance is legendary: everything is high quality and custom-designed. Not just the burr-walnut finish on the astrogation panel (specially devised by Aegidian Industries), the bespoke excellence of the deflector array with its silver-cased pulse-chambered manotox field generator (again specially devised by the specialist heavy electronics arm of Biarge United Shipyards - and its pure gold connectors for linking to the tantalum field coils of the isodentrix array - also specially commissioned from Aegidian. Every minor detail has been scrutinised with care and painstaking attention to minutiae.

With the development by the Navy of the Behemoth and the Viper, ZPG then licensed the rights to the Asp from the Galactic Navy, and established a foothold in naval manufacturing.

In 3126 ZPG were bought up by Faulcon de Lacy of Reorte.

The Corporate Headquarters is located at Xexedi. Their museum there is well worth visiting.
