ZCS (ゼシーズ) is the first boss from Thunder Force II.
Details
ZCS appears as a large flying ship with a red core. It mostly stays on the right corner of the screen, moving erratically up and down. It attacks by shooting double lasers, eventually stopping to fire a large sweeping laser. Once its guns are destroyed it will shoot destructible orbs and attempt to ram the player.
