The Corvette Transport is a class of Starship for transport usage.
History[]
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 variants also carry multiple TAC Fighters in the upper-flightdeck.
By the Second Battle of Klendathu, an Athena class was introduced to Fleet. However, Corvette Transports still remained the most numerous starship in the Fleet, staying in service well into the Second Bug War.
Modular elements[]
Corvette Transports were build with modular elements to them. This allowed ships to have sections reworked as needed for mission purposes:
