The Corvette Transport is a large ship used by Fleet during the Bug War, and the Second Bug War. Corvette Transports are generally named after famous generals and battles. Each ship is roughly 550 meters in length.

During the early offensives against the Arachnids, the Corvettes were the most common capital ship used by the United Citizen Federation to deploy Dropships, TAC Fighters, and materials to planets across the galaxy. The class carries eighteen dropships and specialised varients also carry multiple TAC Fighters in the upper-flightdeck.

By the Second Battle of Klendathu a Athena class was introduced to Fleet, however Corvette Transports still remained the most numerious Starship in the Fleet staying in service well into the Second Bug War.

Variants Edit

The Corvette Transport has several variants:

The standard version has a large reactor on its upper flight deck behind the forward section of the ship, which in turn has rigging above itself that connects to different sections of the ship.

Another variant has an upper flight deck for fighters/bombers to land on, or to load large materials that could not be stored inside a smaller ship (A dropship for example).

Another variant has the entire upper deck area built up to allow for more internal ship space.

Modules Edit

In the Klendathu System Campaign these ships were shown to have had two types of communication modules attached; the Rodger Young being a good example of this, had both types of module installed after its first module was destroyed by a meteor. Eleven years onward only one module is seen on all Corvette Transports indicating that the other module had been permently replaced with the more modern one.
