DAV-class light corvette

The DAV-class light corvette is a class of small starship in the Covenant Navy.

Overview
Similar in design to the larger, the DAV-class light corvette is used to infiltrate a planet's defenses for reconnaissance, making 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.

Armament
DAV-class ships are primarily stealth ships, and as such they were not as well-armed as the larger SDV-class heavy corvette. This falls in line with common observations that weapon layout differ greatly between Covenant ship classifications. Despite this, DAV-class ships are armed with heavy plasma cannons.
