In the turbulent days proceeding the first open shots of the Council rebellion a subtle war of logistics and political manouvering was being played out. Mechanics, gunners and junior officers loyal to the Council were hidden beneath the more carefully scrutinized records of ship captains. In the months leading to the call of war a great number of these ships simply vanished into the black, emerging again under Council banners to trade fire for ideology.
Swift, deadly and replete with enough armament to scatter hostile forces to the void long before her gunports heat up; These aged vessels remain the backbone of the Council fleet.

Handling
The Perilous handles as well as any other gunboat found in Sirius, though it's flat body is useful for traversing rocky space. It is, however, quite a bit larger than most Sirian gunboats and falls strongly in the "heavy gunboat" group of ships. Given its large size and moderate armament, it is more of a support ship than a solo operator, designed more toward interdicting enemy supplies and staying alive than destroying heavy capital ships or taking on enemy bombers.
