The karve is a craft of [[Jiralhanae]] origin designed for siege and planetary invasion operations. As of [[Operation: WOLFE]], the [[UNSC]] was unaware of whether the vessels had [[superluminal communications]] capability.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR13}} They are quick to construct and easy to maintain, making them extremely popular throughout Jiralhane space as patrol craft and cargo ferries, or by the [[Banished]] as escorts to [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnoughts]]. They are much smaller than the dreadnoughts, though share a similar design including the signature armoured prow, which can be used as an offensive weapon when necessary.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
===Usage=== | |||
Prior to the [[Great Immolation]], the Jiralhanae employed Karves as patrol ships and cargo [[freighter]]s. Following the [[Great Immolation]], the [[Banished]] leveraged [[Kig-Yar]] shipbuilding methods to construct Karves to augment their existing fleets and serve as dreadnought escorts.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
