If it's not ZDoom, it goes here.

Quite true. Wookiepedia is one of the sources that incorrectly cites that the Z95s first video game appearance was in 2014. But that doesn't have anything to do with canon - that's just flat-out wrong. I'm not worried about current canonical fact so much. JJ Abrams isn't. It was referenced in early novels originally but I don't think there was any imagery of it at all until X-Wing.

Wookiepedia on the "canon" tab cites a 1979 novel, Han Solo at Stars' End, to be the first reference to the Z-95. The 2014 date is for the first "canonical" appearance because everything pre-Disney buyout that isn't one of the core movies is now dubbed to be non-canon.

I don't care, Dark Forces, X-Wing, and TIE Fighter will always be more canon to me than even the movies. :p

I feel the same way.

Though there are countless variants of the Z-95 in the lore, I've found a few descriptions of specific models:
  • Z-95-AF4
    Z-95XT Trainer
    Z-95t
    Z-95 for X-Wing board game
    Heavy Z-95 Headhunter

Weren`t these ships all over the place in Jedi Outcast or Jedi Academy? You could look into screenshots of these games for reference, I think. :3
It's official - wasn't Outcast.

BINGO - Jedi Academy. And pretty early in the game, too.
