ZyCorp Broadhead - Heavy Armor Frigate

ZyCorp is a relatively newer Ship Manufacturing Corporation and considered to be one of the fastest-growing corps in the past 20 years. Focusing on specialized hull types, ZyCorp designs ships that fill many different types of roles in a wide variety of combat applications. While ZyCorp focuses mostly on combat hulls, they have engineered a small number of logistical configurations which also find some use in the civilian markets.

• Hammerhead and Crossbow
  
• Jellyfish Light Transport Frigate
  
• Mimic Long Range Support Frigate
  
• Porcupine Medium Missile Cruiser
  
• Comet Light Ion Cruiser
  
• Sunburst Artillery Cruiser
  
• Ballista Light Railgun Cruiser
  
• Shellback Light Civilian Freighter

The ZyCorp Broadhead is a heavy frigate that focuses on endurance over pure firepower. Designed to be an alternate escort for the Porcupine and Crossbow, the Broadhead features heavy forward armor plating and several overlapping shield generators. Additionally, the interior layout has been designed in order to maximize survivability even when heavily damaged. As a result, the Broadhead lasts longer than its counterpart, the Hammerhead, though it trades damage output in order to do so. Strategic positioning and targeting can enable the Broadhead to absorb incoming fire meant for allied ships and survive encounters that would otherwise obliterate similarly sized frigates.
