Briefing
Considered one of the least popular Corvettes due to its lower power output, it more than compensates defensively with extra armor and a more efficient force field system. However, with its weaker, shorter ranged weapons, it proved to be more effective in controlling non-Genari threats. Commonly seen escorting convoys under threat of piracy, or making a presence in regions of local unrest. Less tactically-inclined Captains fresh out of the Academy tend to choose this class.
