Manufactured by [[TanSec AB]], these corvettes excel in interdiction, patrol, and security roles. | The '''''Gladius''-class heavy corvette''' is a class of [[corvette]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]], designated with the [[Hull classification symbol|hull code]] of '''FS'''.

A small, [[slipspace]]-capable [[warship]], ''Gladius''-class heavy corvettes are only 243 meters in length with a mass of 36,000 metric tons. The hull of this class are reinforced with [[Titanium-A armor]]. The ''Gladius''-class are outfitted with an extensive sensor suite that uses a combination of laser and radar scanners for actively detecting and tracking targets, while monitoring surrounding space for anomalous energy sources. | A small, [[slipspace]]-capable [[warship]], ''Gladius''-class heavy corvettes are only 243 meters in length with a mass of 36,000 metric tons.

These corvettes are armed with a single [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|20DA1C2 MAC]], only two [[Archer missile#M58 Archer|M58 Archer missile]] pods, and a small network of [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s, used for defense against strikecraft and [[plasma torpedo]]es. Crewed by a total of fifteen sailors, the ''Gladius'' class carries no troops. As these corvettes are substantially outgunned by most warships, they must rely on their small size and low sensor profile to avoid unwinnable battles. | These corvettes are armed with a single [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|20DA1C2 MAC]], only two [[Archer missile#M58 Archer|M58 Archer missile]] pods, and a small network of [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s, used for defense against strikecraft and [[plasma torpedo]]es.

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''Gladius''-class heavy corvette were used by [[UNSC Navy]] [[battle group]]s assigned to the [[Inner Colonies]]. As they were substaintially outgunned by most [[Covenant]] [[warship]]s, ''Gladius''-class corvettes rarely participated in major [[fleet]] engagements. | During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''Gladius''-class heavy corvette were used by [[UNSC Navy]] [[battle group]]s assigned to the [[Inner Colonies]].
