The Subpro corporation's first multi-system success. Officially called the "crater maker" upon its release, this starfighter's name was quickly shortened to "crater" or "crate" by pilots who thought it sluggish. Nevertheless, it featured the reliable engineering for which the Z-95 was later renowned, and its low-cost maintenance made it a favourite for many systems.
