Znod

Znod, Chukk Technomage is a Chukk leader who can be hired by the player to lead fleets.

Hiring Znod requires a initial payment of 150 BC, and 1 BC per turn thereafter.

Unique Ship
This leader has a unique combat vessel, the Znodforce One, that they will use when deployed to the strategy map. The Znodforce One behaves like a normal leader transport except that it may also engage in space combat. The vessel uses Command Points like a normal ship of its class. The Ship is armed with 4x Rockets (spinal) 1x laser cannon (spinal) and 3x Fusion Beams (left, right and forward). It has Class II Shields (central), plasteel armor, fusion engines, and and ECM jammer. It is unknown if this stacks with his fleet bonus or not.

The Znodforce One has the outward appearance of a pirate frigate hull, like Malfillion's ship, the Windleaf, but the interior layout has more slots, and seems to line up with a pirate carrier (cruiser). The ship itself seems to count as a frigate for CP purposes.
