The Zetec was a Federation Vertical Navy 205-class air battleship and the flagship of Task Force 1. It was captained by Admiral Mathieu "Bones" Bonin, TF-01's fleet commander, and famous as one of the handful of 205-class airships to engage in airship-to-airship combat.

History

The Zetec had a long service record in the Federation, including participation in the Oceanian War's final battles.

Zetec shot down

The air battleship was docked at Oceania to undergo a retrofit by Icarus Armories for a prolonged lifespan up to AC 472, partly based on predictions pf enemy force movements in the next few decades. This would not come to be as upon returning from patrol with other airships, the Zetec was shot down in a Cascadian Independence Force-staged mercenary raid on the port during the Cascadian Conflict.

Trivia

The airship is named after the special credited Kickstarter backer and playtester of the same name as well as the admin of the Ace Combat subreddit and (formerly) Discord server.
