The '''GTF ''Perseus''''' was the next generation of intercept fighters used by the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance during the [[Second Shivan Incursion]]. The ''Perseus'' was notable for its speed and maneuverability yet it did not lack weapon compatibility or armoring.

==Description:==

===FS2 Demo Tech Room Description===
Designed by GTI engineers to replace the aging Valkyrie. This ship has the Valkyrie's speed and maneuverablity with more armor and weapon capabilities

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GTF Perseus is the newest fighter in the GTVA's arsenal. Slated to replace the aging Valkyrie as the Alliance's primary interceptor, the Perseus's high max speed and maneuverability make it ideal to hunt and destroy enemy bombers. Perseus fighters have been assigned to the 3rd Battle Group on a trial basis, with wide deployment expected after the OpEval period. Primary weapons include the Subach HL-7 and Prometheus cannon, with secondary loads of Harpoon and Hornet missiles. Preliminary results have shown the Perseus to be a superb fighter.

==Veteran Comments==
{{Comment|
''The Perseus, with its speed and manuverablity, is a joy to simply fly, much like the Serapis. Unlike the Serapis, the Perseus can also fight in addition to doing acrobatics.  With shielding and armor to let it fight it out on even terms with most space superiority fighters, and better manuverablity, the Perseus is among the best fightercraft available to you as a GTVA pilot.''<br><br>
''The best overall craft that you get to fly on a regular basis. Fast, maneuverable, and has enough armor to deal with defence missions as well as attack ones. However, missile bays are sort of small, and has an average amount of gun points. It also has a medium-sized frontal and rear target profile.''<br><br>
''Of the playable fast, high maneuverablility end Fighters the Perseus is the most useful, The   [[GTF Loki]], [[GTF Ulysses]] and the Stealth Fighters all suffer from poor weapon loads and the [[GVF Thoth]], [[GTF Valkyrie]] and [[GVF Serapis]] have an almost comical inablity to take any punishment whatsoever, The Serapis also suffers incompatiblty with the [[GTM Trebuchet]], not quite compensated for by [[GTW Maxim]] abilty, all the moreso for the inablity for Carry [[GTW UD-8 Kayser]] , The [[GVF Horus]] is more or less equal in weaponary, but the Faster turning, relative toughness and better gun mounting location of the Perseus serves it better than the Horus's sheer speed does.''

''Interceptor? No. Think space superiority. The Perseus is a better all-rounder than the Myrmidon and simply a badass ship. It has the right combination of speed, agility, and firepower to crush any other fighter except the Mara and maybe the Tauret. It's fast, it's agile, it has serious firepower, and it's stronger than the FS1 Apollo. I would rather fly this than an Erinyes.''}}
