The '''Zhen''' has a long and extremely thin profile, much thinner than the Player Character. The ship mainly features a cyber-futuristic appearance; 4 Long-angled engines on the back similar to the [[Nightmare]], Fully-clear and transparent cockpit with 2 [[Event Horizon|Event Horizon Shipyard]] Logos beside it citing the Company which made the ship.
