Generous cargo capacity, a reasonable weapons package, plenty of power and excellent speed all contributed to making the <em>Zhofvt<\/em> an excellent Class V vessel. Initial production was set at three per year, with production intended to ramp up once further orders were placed.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of the <em>Wanderer<\/em>, however, derailed the hoped-for windfall of orders. The <em>Wanderer<\/em> had similar overall speed, less power and lower cargo capacity, but was more maneuverable, energy efficient and luxurious when compared to the initial design of the <em>Zhofvt<\/em>. The <em>Wanderer<\/em> also boasted greater firepower and better weapons coverage than the <em>Zhofvt<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2282, designers attempted to counter the popularity of the <em>Wanderer<\/em> by introducing the A-2 model <em>Zhofvt<\/em>.  This design did not address the overall capabilities of the <em>Zhofvt<\/em> when compared to the <em>Wanderer<\/em>. Although more luxurious than the A-1 model, the A-2 saw little change in the overall capability of the design. Less than a dozen orders were placed.<\/p>\n<p>By 2297, backers of the <em>Zhofvt<\/em> knew that a significant improvement was necessary and contracted for the B-1 mode. With higher firepower and better defenses than its predecessors, the B-1 was a far more capable raider, but was also far more expensive the purchase and operate. In the end, only 7 were built.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"center\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"ship\" style=\"width: 280px;\"><strong>Construction
