The DAV-class light corvette,[1] commonly known as the stealth corvette,[2] is a class of small starship in the Covenant Navy.
Overview
Similar in design to the larger SDV-class heavy corvette,[1] 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 uses active camouflage systems to render it 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]
Armament
DAV-class ships are primary stealth ships, as such they were not as well armed as the larger SDV-class heavy corvette,[1] this falls in line with common observations that weapons layout differ greatly from each class of ship.[3]
Operational history
A DAV-class corvette was destroyed during the battle of Sigma Octanus IV by the UNSC destroyer Iroquois.[4]
