Description: Easily the least used of any craft in the Vree fleet, the Zeoth was created to fill an obvious gap in their military assets. Although the Vree generally detest infantry-based missions where their small stature could be a hindrance, it was brought to their attention that they had no way of delivering ‘troops’ in an engagement when absolutely necessary. A short while later, after deciding on size and capacity, the first Zeoths were flooding out of shipyards all over Vreetan.

Although seldom used, the Zeoth can protect itself adequately on the approach, using its solitary weapon to hopefully eliminate any opposition. It is fast and agile like all Vree ships, and well armored to protect the troops inside.
