Imperial Star Corvette<\/b> – 500 tons – 324,385,000 Cr<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reasonably fast, well armed, and heavily armored, the Imperial Star Corvette is the workhorse of the Skein Reach<\/a>, and dreaded by captains of smaller ships. Typically used to patrol the borders of Imperial space, its\u00a0fast jump drive ensures that the Emperor’s forces\u00a0can quickly crush most small threats and effectively pursue criminals and smugglers along the periphery. Other than their cruiser, a handful of these aging Corvettes make up the majority of the Duke’s interstellar fleet.<\/p>\n

With a maximum thrust of 5\u00a0gravities these corvettes\u00a0can overtake most ships, and those that can outrun them must still escape the reach of their missiles and the main gun – a fixed particle beam. Captains\u00a0that stand and fight will have to slug through the medium\u00a0crystaliron armor while suffering a fusillade\u00a0of return fire from the eight lasers.<\/p>\n

In addition to the captain and crew of 24, the Star Corvette carries a compliment of 20 Imperial space troopers, a ship\u2019s launch for landing them on planet or boarding other ships, and a cryo-brig for 8 prisoners. Some corvettes will be outfitted with two light fighters instead of the launch, further extending the Corvette’s reach.<\/p>\n

In order to facilitate rapid patrols or to make emergency jumps, the Imperial Star Corvette carries enough fuel for four one-parsec jumps.<\/p>\n
