The '''Perseus''' is a large [[:Category:Patrol vessels|patrol gunship]] developed in the late 2520s by [[Roberts Space Industries]] (RSI) for the [[United Planets of Earth]] Navy (UPEN). It was redesigned as a civilian model in [[2950]] with modern components and an emphasis on additional utility. Originally intended for blockade duty and engagements against sub-capital ships, the Perseus is outfitted with four massive size 7 cannons, supported by two smaller remote turrets and a launch bay of twenty size 5 torpedoes.<ref name="presentation">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17881-RSI-Perseus|text=Perseus - presentation}}</ref><ref name="brochure">{{Cite RSI|url=https://media.robertsspaceindustries.com/7z87yphjoj2jk/source.pdf|text=Perseus - brochure|accessdate=2020-11-28}}</ref>
The [[Perseus]] is [[RSI]]s premiere blockade and patrol ship, capable of posing a serious threat to any sub-capital class opponent. Four massive Size-7 cannons provide unparalleled firepower against large targets, supported by two smaller remote turrets and a launch bay of twenty Size-5 torpedoes.


== Specifications ==
First constructed in the 2520s, RSIs newest version of the Perseus has been upgraded and redesigned for the modern era to intimidate and overwhelm. The Perseus' large battery of offensive weapons is supplemented by a large 50-SCU cargo bay that can carry a rover, comfortable crew quarters, and easy access to the turrets for dangerous situations

Lore

The Perseus was first constructed in the late 2520s, a few years before the Xi'an-Human Cold War. These gunships were frequently deployed along the Perry Line, making them a regular fixture after Xi'an-Human first Contact in 2530.[2]

In 2863, RSI retired the Perseus from production due to a lack of interest from the UEEN.[2]

During Operation Mandrake in 2946 in the Vanduul War, the aging Perseus UEES Achilles managed to take down two Vanduul destroyers when the ship was damaged beyond repair. Due to its performance, UEEN Admiral Ernst Bishop personally lobbied RSI to start producing Perseus models again for use against the Vanduul.[2]

Following Perseus success against the Vanduul, RSI expanded development to include a civilian version under the Militia Mobilization Initiative.[3] The new Perseus, equipped with modernized weapons and a redesigned lower deck that could accommodate cargo vehicles[2] was released on day 9 of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2950 [4] event.

Development

Chris Roberts wanted a ship that stood apart from the standard battleship or the destroyers, torpedo boats, carriers, etc already added to the line-up. He chose the ironclad gunboat as the inspiration. In the initial stages, the Perseus' was referred to as "RSI Gunboat", not receiving its final name until very late in the concept development process.[5]

John Crewe put together the design brief. Paul Jones and Gavin Rothery created the concept artwork, with principle work beginning in July 2020.

The Perseus was publicly revealed during IAE 2950.
