UNSC Corvette

The UNSC Corvette is a Light Capital Warship classification in the UNSC Navy. Known sub-classes of the Corvette include the Mako-class Corvette 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. They have a modest hangar bay with room for only one SKT-13 Shuttlecraft, basically a larger version of the Bumblebee Lifeboat used to ferry UNSC material and personnel to and from various locations or ships. The Corvettes are also known as being one of the fastest ships in the UNSC Navy. Like most other Slipspace-capable UNSC ships, Corvettes possess Cryo-bays.

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 and the Battle of Earth.
