DESCRIPTION:
With the lessons learned from the Umbara skirmish, MandalArms commissioned a new line of warships dedicated to sealing some strategic gaps. The first of this line is the Arid-Class corvette.
Built with the solid Mandalorian Iron hull and stygium cloak common among the latest classes of MandalArms designs, the Arid-Class is a smaller, faster cousin of the Desert-Class frigate. With less firepower, but more speed, she is able to move better than her larger counterpart, and still pack a decent punch.
Though she cannot fire both her main gun and her defensive turrets at the same time, both are capable weapons, and this ship can either damage enemy capital ships, or wipe projectiles and fighters from the sky at will.
