Description: The Siege Perilous class Deep Stand-off Attack Ship II was designed as a next generation successor to the versatile and venerable Righteous Fist of Heaven Class, and at the time of the fall of the Systems Commonwealth, this was the newest and most advanced ship class in the High Guard fleet. The design of the ship incorporated new structural features due to many hard-learned lessons from the recently concluded Magog hostilities at the time, and included latest in Commonwealth technology. The Siege Perilous class was the most lethal starship-killer ever built by the Commonwealth. It was designed to operate with a minimum of crew and without any fleet support from behind enemy lines for extended periods of time. It also forgoes such standard shipboard features as small craft, a Lancer contingent, and research capabilities in favor of one of the most massive missile load outs ever seen. The Siege Perilous was one of the most heavily armed starships launched by the Commonwealth, and her arsenal includes the latest in extreme-range kill vehicles as well as the usual suite of offensive and defensive missiles, Antiproton Cannons, and Point Defense Laser's. Additionally, the new Deep Stand-off Attack Ship's distinctive knife-like profile gives it a tiny sensor cross-section, making the vessels nearly impossible for hostile forces to detect. Any enemy who does manage to engage the Deep Stand-off Attack Ship is confronted with reactive shielding and cold plasma armor that makes the Siege Perilous class exceptionally resilient and damage-resistant. This class is also notable for the lack of entry points, as access to the ship is through a single, heavily fortified airlock which leaves the ship nearly invulnerable to boarding party raids.
