The Percilius-class destroyer is a Zamastanian guided missile destroyer of the Zamastanian Naval Forces, and are multi-mission medium surface ships capable of sustained performance in anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-ship, and offensive strike operations. Like cruisers, guided missile destroyers are primarily focused on surface strikes using the FLAMs and fleet defense through missile systems. The Percilius-class destroyers are named after Navy, Marine, and Coast Guard heroes, with its flagship destroyer being named the ZMS Lance Pelio after famed World War Admiral Lance Pelio.
