UNSC corvette: Difference between revisions

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

m (More recent source Encyclopedia lists it under both Corvette and Prowler, meaning this is a Prowler--a class of Corvette. I'm not sure this section is even necessary as the list would be rather large. Sound off, admins.)

Template:Ship Class Infobox The UNSC corvette[1][2] is a warship classification in the UNSC Navy.[3][4] Known sub-classes of the corvette include the Mako-class corvette,[5] the fast-attack corvette[6] and the Prowler stealth corvette.

Background

The corvettes are the smallest class of warship in the UNSC Navy, and do not carry any fighters. Fast-attack corvettes are known to have a modest hangar bay with room for only one SKT-13 Shuttlecraft, basically a larger version of the Bumblebee escape pod used to ferry material and personnel to and from various locations or ships.[7] Corvettes are also known as being one of the fastest ships in the UNSC Navy.[8] Like most other Slipspace-capable UNSC ships, corvettes possess cryo-bays.[6]

Corvettes in use by the 2490s, such as the UNSC 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.[9]

Operational service

UNSC corvettes have been in use during both the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant War. Several Mako-class corvettes were used by the Eridanus cell of the Insurrectionists as part of their improvised fleet. The UNSC used corvettes in multiple engagements during the Human-Covenant War, including the Fall of Reach[4] and the Battle of Earth.[1]

Prowlers

The following corvettes are also referred to as Prowlers.

Production note

During the development of Halo 3, a corvette known as Template:UNSCship was designed. The ship was removed during the game's development and her hull altered in several aspects, resulting in the Charon-class light frigate. The Paris class from Halo: Reach adopts Andraste's design more or less exactly.
