Deep
Stand-Off Attack Ship (DSA) II
Wrath
of Achilles Class
Platform
Overview:
Designed
as a next generation successor to the versatile and venerable
Righteous Fist of Heaven platform, the Wrath of
Achilles is the newest and most advanced ship class
in the High Guard fleet. Incorporating many hard-learned
lessons from the recently concluded Magog hostilities and
the latest in Commonwealth technology, the Wrath of Achilles
is the most lethal starship-killer ever built. Designed
to operate with a minimum of crew and without fleet support
behind enemy lines for extended periods of time, the new
DSA forgoes such standard shipboard features as small craft,
a Lancer contingent, and research capabilities in favor
of missiles, missiles, and more missiles. The Wrath of
Achilles is the most heavily armed starship 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, AP guns, and PDLs.
Additionally, the new DSA's distinctive, knife-like profile
gives her a tiny sensor cross-section, making her nearly
impossible for foes to detect. And any enemy who does manage
to engage her will find that reactive shielding and cold
plasma armor make the Wrath of Achilles exceptionally
resilient and damage-resistant, while her lack of entry
points (access to the ship is through a single, heavily
fortified airlock) leaves the ship nearly invulnerable to
boarding raids.
So
while the recent Treaty of Antares and the advent of peace
with the Magog has slowed down the new DSA construction
schedule (to date, only two have been completed and launched-the
Wrath of Achilles and the Balance of Judgement), should
hostilities ever resume, any foes of the Commonwealth would
find themselves facing the deadliest starship in the history
of known space.
