The UNSC Corvette[1][2] is a Light Capital Warship classification in the UNSC Navy.[3][4] Known sub-classes of the Corvette include the Mako-class Corvette,[5] Fast-attack Corvette[6] and the UNSC 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 Lifeboat used to ferry UNSC material and personnel to and from various locations or ships.[7] The 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]
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 Rebels as part of their improvised fleet. The UNSC used Corvettes in multiple battles of the Human-Covenant War, including the Battle of Reach[4] and the Battle of Earth.[1]
