What CIG says RSI Ship Matrix
flight-ready Heavy Gunship Combat Large
When RSI set out to make the definitive modern solution for civilian and paramilitary operations, it looked to its historic Perseus gunship. Capable of destroying sub-capital goliaths and simultaneously engaging multiple threats, its presence in any blockade or patrol squad is enough to make aggressors think twice before engaging, just like its legendary predecessors.
