Expanding into the passenger liner market, Zorgon Peterson presents the Lynx Highliner. This medium-sized vessel has considerable passenger cabin capacity potential, a notable jump range and good straight-line speed. The Lynx Highliner is also surprisingly robust, with solid defences offering protection from external threats.
