ADVANCED SYSTEMS
- Interior Bridge: The bridge of the Canis-class is not exposed at the outer hull but located deep inside the ships hull.
STRENGTHS
- Biter: The IId is not a fighter like the IIa and is instead focused on delivering long range payloads of warheads, harassing enemy battle lines.
- Agile: The Corvettes of this class are fast, both in Hyperspace as well as in real-space.
- Beastly Approach: The front of the Canis is well armored and bears the main armament of its warhead launchers.
WEAKNESSES
- Puppy: The Canis is just a corvette and while its weapons are strong against larger ships, it should not get too close to them.
- Taillights: The back of the Canis is covered by some point-defenses, but it is far from being sufficient to protect the exposed engine units.
- Smaller than Small: Built around a warhead launcher, the Mark IId is made to fight bigger ships on distance, therefore seriously underperforms against starfighters and other strike craft.
DESCRIPTION
The Battlefleet Vandemar is the military naval arm of the Vandemarians, established by the High Imperator many centuries ago, it was designed to maintain the sovereignity of the Olympian System as well as providing training, experience and a possibility to participate in the wars of the Galaxy as well as protecting the small realm from them. Developed based on various experiences and influences, the Vandemarian navy is a well supplied and highly trained combat force.
The Canis-class are built as the stalking patrollers of the fleet. But the Mark IId was not made to accompany its class-mates into the same duties. Equipped with a versatile warhead launcher, this class is built to fight alongside capital ships and offer small and fast moving damage potential with its long range weaponry. If missiles or torpedoes, the Missile Corvette is made to harass fleet formations with destructive volleys of either.
