The DAV-class light corvette[1] or the stealth corvette[2] is a class of small starship in the Covenant Navy.
Background
The DAV-class light corvette is used to infiltrate a planet's defenses for reconnaissance to make way for larger invasion forces. Despite its limited weaponry, the DAV-class corvette used active camouflage systems to render them imperceptible to UNSC sensors, and visually invisible.[2] It also possessed electronic countermeasures, able to interfere with the guidance systems of Archer missiles, and was able to gather intelligence.[2][1]
Operational history
A DAV-class corvette was destroyed during the battle of Sigma Octanus IV by the UNSC destroyer Iroquois.[3] Days later, several DAV-class corvettes slipped into the Epsilon Eridani system undetected, landing on Reach to prepare for the oncoming invasion by the combined fleets of Valiant Prudence,[1] Holy Respite,[4] Righteous Vigilance,[5] and Particular Justice.[6]
