The DAV-class light corvette[1] or the stealth corvette[2] is a class of small starship in the Covenant Navy.
Background
Similar in design, to the larger SDV heavy corvette, 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 sighted and destroyed during the battle of Sigma Octanus IV, by the UNSC destroyer UNSC 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 Fleet of Valiant Prudence[1] Fleet of Holy Respite[4] and the Fleet of Particular Justice[5]
Complement
Armaments
DAV-class ships are primary stealth ships as such they were not well armed as the larger SDV-class corvette like all warships in the Covenant Navy their class, tonnage, size and weapons layout differ greatly from ship to ship[6]
