| Typical of its class, the ''Perdition'' is a sleek and heavily armed design renowned as much for its versatile nature as its ability to blunt typical starfighter tactics. Both atmosphere and void capable, the ship can easily support both ground and spaceborne battles in a number of roles. Thanks to a heavy armament of six quad [[starwars:Laser cannon/Legends|laser cannon]] turrets, multiple light [[StarWars:Turbolaser/Legends|turbolasers]], and four missile launchers, the vessel is a threat to almost any ship that it engages. The design makes it both a highly effective fighter platform and offers it the ability to threaten far larger vessels when operating as part of an attack group. | | Typical of its class, the ''Brigand'' is a sleek and heavily armed design renowned as much for its versatile nature as its ability to blunt typical starfighter tactics.

| While protected only by average shielding and armour, its great maneuverability and speed gives the ''Perdition'' a noted edge in most battles. This suits its role extremely well, allowing it to rapidly reposition and redeploy when defending a fleet, and engaging in hit-and-fade raiding engagements. Requiring one-hundred-and-eleven crewmen to operate effectively, it requires a far higher number of personnel than most similar ships to operate effectively. Equally, it is only capable of hosting forty passengers, a lower number than that of similar ships within the Ascendant Fleet. | | While protected only by average shielding and armour, its great maneuverability and speed gives the ''Brigand'' a noted edge in most battles.
