Description: In layman's terms this is a simple corvette designed to deploy mines. It is capable of moving quickly about the battlefield to deploy it's mine cargo before retreating behind the main line of capital vessels to provide rear support. Due to its lack of heavy armament it is not meant to provide front line battle support, and is only suited for rear guard once it's payload has been deployed.

The ship carries its allotment of mines in a deploying rack situated within what would otherwise be the hangar or storage area, which limits it's cargo carrying capability to only that of essential supplies such as rations and munitions. She can take a beating, which is how she's able to rush in and deploy her mines before swiftly withdrawing, but she's not going to run in capital craft and get in a gunfight. In the end she's a mine layer and rear support vessel only.
