The Spike-class Gunship fills a role of outer fleet picket and convoy guardian, as well as being an excellent anti-pirate patrol ship. It is fast enough to run down fleeing vessels and carries enough armament to fight its way out of most trouble. Its only lack is ion cannons, but designers felt that tasks needing ion cannons would be better left to the Sentinel-class Corvette.
As with all MMA-produced combat vessels, the ship features the innovative harjel repair system, a set of backup shields rated at one-third the power of the ship's standard shields, and the new PDS in addition to the ship's standard weaponry and defenses.
