Corvettes in use by the 2490s, such as the {{UNSCShip|Callisto}}, were powered by a primary fusion reactor and a secondary fission reactor. They had at least fourteen decks and three cargo bays, as well as a hard docking collar for linking with stations or other vessels.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

UNSC corvettes have been in use during both the [[Insurrection]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Several ''Mako''-class corvettes were used by the [[Eridanus system|Eridanus]] cell of the [[Insurrectionist]]s as part of their improvised fleet. The UNSC used corvettes in multiple [[Battle|engagements]] during the Human-Covenant War, including the [[Fall of Reach]] | UNSC corvettes have been in use during both the [[Insurrection]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]].
