Corvette

A corvette was a type designation for a small, fast and usually lightly-armed, and usually the smallest of the various classes to bear the term. Most corvettes were designed to maximize speed, both in terms of sublight and hyperspace velocity, and typically sacrificed shield strength, armor protection and, to a lesser extent, firepower. One of the hallmarks of corvette-class ships was the ability to land on a planetary surface.

Various classes of corvette could serve as systems patrol craft, scouts, blockade runners, armed couriers, anti-starfighter picket duty, and as personal s for wealthy or politically-powerful individuals. Some corvette classes were little more than heavily-armed freighters, and most were smaller than frigates. The typical corvette did not have hangar facilities, though it could dock with other vessels and some types could accommodate shuttlepods.
