Corvette

A corvette is a type of small military vessel used by space-faring species for a variety of purposes. While more technologically advanced species may use corvettes in specific roles, the term corvette is also widely used to refer to the military vessels of all species, regardless of role, before larger or more advanced designs can be completed.

The roles of a corvette may vary widely, from use as a general-purpose warship (especially by less technologically advanced species), to uses as a patrol ship, a scout vessel, a light attack craft, or a mobile missile platform. Most corvettes are equipped with a hyperdrive, and are thus capable of interstellar travel via hyperlanes, though some vessels referred to as corvettes may lack a hyperdrive and be confined to singular system defense.
