The '''Perseus''' is a large 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> |
