| The '''''Mako''-class corvette''' was a classification of [[UNSC corvette|corvette]] employed by the naval forces of both the [[Colonial Military Authority]] and [[United Nations Space Command]], among other [[human]] military groups.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| |
|
| |
| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| The ''Mako'' measured only {{Convert|532|ft|m|disp=flip}} in length, and massed in at a total mass of {{Convert|28000|MT}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} ''Mako''-class ships were generally well-regarded (in no small part due to their small size{{Ref/Reuse|enc}}), but hated by shipyard personnel due to numerous maintenance issues.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Armaments===
| |
| The ''Mako''-class was lightly armed, featuring two Mark 40 [[Castor naval coilgun]]s and two M42 [[Archer missile]] pods for anti-ship combat. For defence, it was equipped with two [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| ==Operational history== | | ==Background== |
| The ''Mako''-class entered service in [[2388]], and rapidly became one of the most ubiquitous examples of the corvette role throughout [[Human colonies|human space]]. During its long career, the ''Mako'' was used by many military organisations including the [[UNSC Navy]], [[CMA Navy]] and other security forces throughout the [[Sol system]] and extrasolar colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The ''Mako''{{'}}s maintenance issues would eventually gain it infamy in the shipyards where it was serviced, ultimately leading to the UNSC Navy choosing to retire it in the early stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Book|Id=enc|Enc11|Page=259}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Most surviving examples were pushed into rear second-line defensive fleets for the duration of the war.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | | The ''Mako''-class was also renowned for being the smallest ship in the UNSC fleet mounted with a liable, usable Slipspace drive. However this particular Corvette was discharged from the UNSC arsenal due to the high maintenance level required so that the ship would stay operational. These Corvettes were comprised of many highly sensitive components which ultimately compromised its effectiveness. Since they are Corvettes, they most likely carry lighter ship-to-ship weapons and/or troops, and unlikely to deploy its own fighter support. |

| By [[2525]], several such corvettes had fallen into the [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Eridanus rebels]] at their asteroid base of [[Eridanus Secundus]] - used by the rebels as part of their improvised fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|for}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=for|FoR|Chapter=10}}
| | It is said that Corvettes have a modest hangar bay and only one SKT-13 (basically a larger version of the [[Bumblebee|Bumblebee Lifeboat]] used to ferry [[UNSC]] material and personnel to and from various locations or ships) can fit inside. |
|
| |
|
| One ''Mako''-class, the {{UNSCShip|Pony Express}}, was still in service with the UNSC as late as [[2552]].{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Chapter=24}}
| | ==Operational Service== |
| | Several of such corvettes were used by the Eridanus rebels at their asteroid base over [[Eridanus Secundus]], used by the rebels as part of their improvised fleet. Others were present at the [[Battle of Reach]] and the [[Battle of Earth]]. |
