Description
During the latest (and last) Frontier War, a lance of Zhodani Z-80 Grav Tanks comes under attack from Imperium Rampart Class Starfighters. Despite their speed, EMmask Systems, and prismic aerosols, the Ramparts release their ordnance with devastating effect to one of the Z-80s.
Despite this, the Zhodani, with co-operation from various Vargr groups, and the Sword Worlders, drive the Third Imperium out of their territory for a fifth time.

The Zhodani would later learn that it would be the last, thanks to Dulinor’s callous act that in effect shatters their greatest threat to Zhodani Sovereignty.

I wanted to indulge into my passion for Traveller again, and this time on a subject that is major in the franchise, but not well covered – the Zhodani.

The Zhodani are a race of humans who descended from those taken by the mysterious Ancients and were experimented. As a result, the Zhodani have become telepathic. They have an authoritarian society ruled with true “thought” police. To the Imperium, the Zhodani are seen as cold, narrow minded, and undemocratic. However, the Zhodani not only regard the Imperium as conquers but also as insidious; in Zhodani society, no one can hide secrets therefore no one can do bad things, resulting in a very stable society; the Zhodani regard the Imperial citizens as evil and untrustworthy because by not having telepathy, they can hide their thoughts which encourages devious behaviour.

The Zhodani are two meters tall, slimmer than ordinary humans and are known to wear headgear akin to turbans. Their empire is called the Zhodani Consulate and is ruled from the world of Zhdant.

Unlike the Imperium, the Zhodani have no interest in conquest, or empire building; they have the nation the right size and defend it vigorously – they do not want any business with anyone – especially the Third Imperium. The latter does not respect the former’s wishes which have resulted into numerous border clashes.

I loved the Zhodani for that – their fierce independence and defiance; something that appealed to me a lot.

The Z-80 is the standard Zhodani Grav Tank but very little is known; it has been clocked at a top speed of 1000KPH, and is similar to the Imperium’s Trepida Grav Tank.

There is a lot of elements I placed here to make the pic more but my favourite bit is the sub fogged by the sky. It gives the piece an eerie setting.

Like to hear your thoughts – meantime – Enjoy!
