DESCRIPTION
Utilizing the Drydocks of the Foerost Shipyards, the MC25e Seafury - Class Minelayer Corvette was the first of many warships that would be produced by the Free Dac Engineering Corps, and their various affiliated Corporate Cousins. While many Mon Calamari vessels in the past were converted from Civilian craft, somewhere along the line the many people of Dac began creating legitimate warships to not only defend their world but the various iterations of the Republic thereafter. The Seafury - Class Minelayer Corvette was a continuation of that newfound direction and would blend various technologies from several outside sources - creating something entirely new for the modern era.

While the MC25 Spaceframe was designed to be wholly modular and allowed for a more versatile approach towards it’s outfitting - several of the designs weren’t purpose-built warships. In fact, they were designed to fill a multitude of roles on the spatial battlefield. However, the Seafury found itself in an interesting position. Unlike some of its newly-produced kin, the Minelayer Corvette had a critical piece of what was considered to be the standardized armament replaced with deployment chutes - or launch tubes. While this whittled down a majority of the MC25 Spaceframe’s engagement patterns, the choice ultimately opened up a whole new field of spatial strategy for Commanders to explore.

Coupled with the narrowed missile profile, alongside the host of internalized systems, the Wavecrasher finds itself blessed with an orderly network of components that complement one another; allowing for smooth operation in both times of Peace and War.
