| The '''''Sharpfin''-class escort corvette''' is a human-made [[corvette]]. During the [[2400]]s, a century prior to the [[Human-Covenant War]], they were employed for guarding colonial supply convoys.{{Ref/Reuse|H015}}

| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| By the modern standards of the early/mid-[[2500]]s, the ''Sharpfin''-class was considered under armed and slow. Because of this, they were rarely employed for even routine tasks like planetary customs patrols.{{Ref/Reuse|H015}}
| |
|
| |
| ==Operational history==
| |
| During the 25th century, ''Sharpfin''s were popular among [[Piracy|space pirates]] and commercial escort services for guarding colonial supply convoys.{{Ref/Reuse|H015}}
| |
|
| |
|
| In 2526, on the planet, [[Netherop]], [[John-117]] brokered a deal with the leaders of the [[Castoffs]], [[Samson]] and [[Roselle]]. In exchange for the Castoffs' cooperation and assistance in dealing with the [[Covenant]] forces on the planet, the [[United Nations Space Command]] would provide them with one of these corvettes as well as a ride to a planet of their choosing.{{Ref/Reuse|H015}} Vice Admiral [[Michael Stanforth]] was hesitant to lend this corvette to the Castoffs due to their wish to retreat to the [[Insurrectionist]] world of [[Gao]], though was eventually persuaded to do so by John-117.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=Epilogue}}
| | The Sharpfin-class escort corvette is a human-made corvette that was popular with both space pirates and commercial escort services a century before the [[Human-Covenant War]]. They were primarily used to guard colonial supply convoys. By modern standards, however, these compact vessels were under-armed and slow, which is why they were rarely used even for routine tasks like planetary customs patrols.{{Ref/Reuse|H015}} |

| The ''Sharpfin'' is likely named after the [[:Wikipedia:Sharpfin barracuda|Sharpfin barracuda]], a naming scheme shared with the {{Class|Mako|corvette}}.
