Template:Ratings Template:Ship Class Infobox The UNSC corvette[1][2] is a light capital warship classification in the UNSC Navy.[3][4] Known sub-classes of the corvette include the Mako-class Corvette,[5] Fast-attack corvette[6] and the UNSC Prowler stealth corvette.

Background

The corvettes are the smallest class of warship in the UNSC Navy, and do not carry any fighters. Fast-attack corvettes are known to have a modest hangar bay with room for only one SKT-13 Shuttlecraft, basically a larger version of the Bumblebee escape pod used to ferry material and personnel to and from various locations or ships.[7] Corvettes are also known as being one of the fastest ships in the UNSC Navy.[8] Like most other Slipspace-capable UNSC ships, corvettes possess cryo-bays.[6]

Corvettes in use by the 2490's, such as the UNSC Callisto, were powered by a primary fusion reactor and a secondary fission reactor. They had at least 14 decks and 3 cargo bays, as well as a hard docking collar for linking with stations or other vessels.[9]

Operational service

UNSC corvettes have been in use during both the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant War. Several Mako-class corvettes were used by the Eridanus Rebels as part of their improvised fleet. The UNSC used corvettes in multiple battles of the Human-Covenant War, including the Battle of Reach[4] and the Battle of Earth.[1]
