The Corvette

The Corvette Class, is any ship that is made for Combat that has a crew of more than 4, up to 20. Types include:
Corvettes, Gun Ships, Bombers, Patrol Ships, Heavy Interceptors, and Scout Ships.

- Corvettes are all round craft balancing speed, agility, defences, firepower, size, and weight. Common escort for Frigates, and Destroyers, or part of a Larger convoy.
- Gun Ships tend to pack much more firepower than the conventional Corvette, while maintaining defences, and size. Thou there is a drop in speed, and agility, over the standard corvette. Often carried by Carriers to complement their bomber squadrons, also found in convoys.
- Bombers are carry some heavy duty firepower, tending to go for torpedo, or missile armaments, for taking out large ships ranging from Frigates to Dreadnaughts. They have a slight above average speed to there larger size engines, but considerably lower agility, and acceleration, due to higher mass. Found on almost all carriers, larger stations, and in smaller amounts on warships.
- Patrol Ships tend to be be built for survivability on its own with little chance of reinforcements. This is why the Patrol Ships tend to be classified as either Ultra-Heavy Corvette, or Light Frigate. Its defences, weapons, and speed are key to its success, being primarily used to Patrol outer territories, to prevent incursions, and during war time destroy advanced scouts, and take on small fighter squadrons. Often grouped with Frigate Patrol Ships.
- Heavy Interceptors are known for for there high speeds, acceleration, and Anti-Corvette/Fighter weaponry. As with all Interceptors tend to sacrifice defences, for first strike ability, packing in many missiles, rockets, and small cannons as possible. Every large station has an ample supply of such craft to keep an enemies out of range of stations population. Heavy Carriers and Warships need to carrier some as well.
- Scout Ships are small, weakly armed and defended craft, that have superior sensors, and jump drives to any ship of its class or smaller, with an above average cargo bay. Used as for scientific missions, or cargo runs to out of the way systems, and during wartimes, as advanced scouts staying out of the enemies way by using its jump drive. Found almost everywhere, they are used by every power, military, or civilian. It is quite a common vessel in board regions.
