     Impact Technology, and emerging corporation, has put together
it's contender in the open market of atmospheric fighters.  The
Thane is more than a match for the old Z-95s in current usages, but
is probably not going to be the match of the Incom Spear (under
development), or the Wrathtech Sky Fortress (in testing).  Still,
the Thane is available now, and Impact may be engaged in some less
than totally above board tactics to maintain it's exclusive
position in it's niche.
     In form, the Thane has a unique swept wing formation, with the
blasters mounted close together beneath the cockpit, and the Ion
cannons mounted on the wings.
