The Xiezhi is a Chinese space shuttle stolen by Chessboard in the game Revolution 60. Following the cancelation of the American space program, agents are unable to rendezvous with the abandoned orbital weapons platform N313. They travel to Guangzhou and steal the Xiezhi from the CNSA.
The Xiezhi is named after a mystical Chinese beast, in the tradition of the Ragnarok from Final Fantasy VIII. It features a strange insectoid appearance, with a bone-white hull and tattoos drawn randomly over the ship. It has four primary engines with a bio-organic appearance.
It was designed by Frank Wu, a four-time Hugo award winner known for his exuberant personality and design aesthetic.
