Briefing
Even though the SOL Imperium had an edge over Genari regarding technology, the Genari used uncommon tactics to overcome their disadvantage. SOL's loss of ships and crew were on the rise with the smaller warships such as corvettes and frigates. The need for a more sturdy and versatile corvette became clear -- the Mendi was the result. It had more firepower to deal with Genari that tried to outflank the ship. The Mendi also eliminated one of Genari's common tactics of disabling a ship's primary weapons by directed weapons fire via extra superstructure surrounding the weapon mounts.
