Deep Stand-Off Attack Ship (DSA)
Righteous Fist of Heaven Class

Platform Overview:

The Righteous Fist of Heaven class Deep Stand-off Attack Ship is the workhorse of the High Guard combat fleet. Optimized for extreme-range destruction of hostile starships and planetary pacification missions, the DSA is long on offensive capabilities and short on defensive systems. Sensor systems on the DSA are dedicated almost entirely to battle management support, though they can be used in a pinch as additional extended range surveillance platforms. The DSA is also equipped with Low Observability technology, making them more difficult for hostile forces to target and destroy. DSAs rarely operate independently and rely on battlegroup assets for their self-defense and logistics support. When detached from their primary HCBG, DSAs run in "wolf-packs" of three.
