Intruder-class Corvette

The Parable Intruder-class Corvette was Parable Shipyards' first attempt at a capital ship. It was designed for the role of anti-starfighter corvette, and had mostly point-defense cannons and quad laser turrets as armament with a few missile launchers and light turbolaser batteries, designed to keep larger ships at bay until the ship could be reinforced by heavier capital ships.

The Intruder-class Corvette carried a crew of 250 officers/enlisted crew members, and was capable of transporting up to 300 soldiers at a time. The ship could be controlled by as few as 100 enlisted men, but the high demands of the ship made running it with fewer than full crew difficult at best.

Armament
Intruer-class Corvettes were distinctly different than most ships of its class or size, and much smaller than most ships that carried as many weapons. The ship was compacted so the twenty-five point-defense laser cannons' firing arcs would overlap each other significantly, providing much more effective bursts of fire against starfighters. The disadvantage to this design was that strafing runs that punctured the shields of the corvette could take out multiple point-defense cannons in one run.
