Description
A balanced turbolaser and ion battery permits the corvette to disable suspect craft or destroy hostile escorts. Ten light turbolasers and heavy laser cannon protect the ship against starfighters, while a platoon of troops conducts inspections and boarding actions. Its modest logistical footprint makes the class suitable for customs reinforcement and remote garrison patrols.
