A '''corvette''' is a type of [[warship]] in both the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] navies. Corvettes are generally small, maneuverable and lightly armed. A corvette is usually smaller than a [[frigate]], making it the smallest warship type within a fleet.

==Summary==
|class=Corvette
As with most ship types, corvettes' sizes and the specific roles they fill within a fleet vary between factions. For example, UNSC corvettes are small patrol vessels that carry no fighter complements, only accommodating a [[hangar bay|hangar]] large enough to fit a [[SKT-13 Shuttlecraft]],<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', p. 63-64</ref> while Covenant corvettes are larger than a [[UNSC frigate]] and carry large complements of warriors and entire [[Starfighter|fighter]] squadrons. In combat, a single Covenant corvette has shown to be a match for a UNSC frigate.<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', campaign level, [[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]</ref> While UNSC corvettes mostly appear to serve in patrol or scouting duties, the Covenant use their counterparts for heavy air support in ground assaults during planetary siege operations.<ref>''Halo: Reach'', campaign level, [[Exodus]]</ref>
