STRENGTHS

• Highly automated: Allowing for smaller operational crews, with the majority of functions under the operational capacity and expertise of the on-board AI, this ship has less need for crewmembers on active duty in order to pilot and operate the ship.
• Lithe design: The design of this ship emphasizes speed and flexibility, with the Hermes 760I engines having to carry a somewhat light load compared to other ships in the N&Z line up, this baby can be a terror in space with a combo of excellent speed, power and defense.
• Versatile: Perfectly suited for a large range of combat and tactical positions, the Javelin-Class lends itself well as an ambush striker, a reckon vessel and a raider.

WEAKNESSES

• Highly Automated: Though seen usually as a boon for any ship, should this ship be operating with a bare bones skeleton crew when something happens with the ship's AI, operational capacity may be insufficient to even perform basic tasks, let alone operate the ship in any functional capacity.
• Exposed Engine Pods: Though well defended and protected by both the shielding systems and the secondary, primary plating, it does make it so the engines are in essence quite the easy target for repeated fire.

DESCRIPTION

The Javelin Class Strike Corvette was conceived in the notion that the N&Z Umbrella Corporation's line up lacked some serious representation within the lower echelons of the market, with a gaping hole being present between the starfighters and frigates classes. Though the company did have some offerings in the corvette class, most of these offerings were low-cost, somewhat antiquated designs that were more or less underpowered and underarmed, making these designs mainly useful in civilian markets and low cost travelling/shipping.

Luckily with the slow, yet very steady overhaul of the company's product line ups, there had come the order from the top to further expand into the lower echelons of the market, with the emphasis being the corvette class of ships. To answer to this order, the first designs had been upgrades for the old support craft in the corvette class, but this ended up as a failure, thus with renewed vigor the teams of designers and engineers took back to the boards in order to come up with a new vessel in the corvette class.

Finally, after a four month hiatus in new activity around the corvette project, the designers managed to file a new design; which as it was a lithe and light design did garner some interest from the upper management. The arrow-shape and sleek lines of the design already earned it the name: the Javelin, which would immediately be patented as the designated name for the vessel and any possible varieties on the design.

Loaded out with top notch electronics from both the HPI consortium and First Astral Engineering, with the new ersteel SLCA acting as the main structural material, the Javelin-class would be much lighter and still robuster than most of its in-class competitors, all the while boasting a very wide range of electronic defenses and utilities to turn this vessel into a very functional and flexible machine to fit into any navy as a rapid response, striker or reckon vessel.

Initial issues with the design though, popped up quickly, with the engine pods needing additional armor and protection because it was quickly seen as a weak spot, despite it allowing for less overheating issues and potential engine failure due to overheating and stress.
