UPES Arash

The UPES Arash was a Perseus-class gunship that served in the United Planets of Earth Navy. The crew of the Arash, known colloquially as the Soothsayers, wore badges famously emblazoned with a hooded, faceless wraith clutching a crystal ball. The ominous slogan, “Never a shot fired, never a battle lost” was written below it.

Perseus class gunships are historically named for great historical or mythological figures, in this instance, Arash the Archer of Persian mythology.
