==Role==

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]]''', ''page 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>
