Wolf Pack: The Lemure class Corvette shows its worth when working in tandem with other Lemure class Corvettes - usually in groups between a half dozen to a full dozen. This allows the vessels to cover one another as well as bring larger amounts of firepower to bear against an enemy vessel.
Lone Wolf: While groups of Lemure class Corvettes are dangerous, a single Corvette by itself can be overcome quickly. This is partially due to their designs - with armor and weaponry that is considered the status quo; they do not specialize in any one aspect. A lone Lemure class Corvette, while capable of standing its ground for some time, can quickly find itself being overwhelmed by larger number of Starfighters, or the blistering hail of fire that larger vessels - such as Cruisers or Frigates - could unleash upon the vessel.
Balanced: These vessels are fairly balanced in terms of capabilities and how they can be utilized. While they're classified as an Assault Corvette, they're capable filling in multiple roles - provided that they're grouped with other Lemure class Corvettes.
The Lemure class Corvette was developed to create a vessel that was more adaptable - though worked better in larger numbers - to provide more flexibility to Hellknight Fleets. Their primary use it to be sent out on missions in 'Wolf Packs' groups of anywhere from a half-dozen to a full-dozen of these vessels to secure or otherwise strike against an enemy or achieve some specific objective. Where they lack is in their singular capability; while the vessels can stand for sometime by themselves they can easily become overwhelmed when facing larger numbers of starfighters or larger vessels.
In terms of combat, they're often assigned to the far flanks - or kept closer to Cruisers or Frigates to provide additional fire support - to fire salvos of Torpedoes into enemy vessels.
