STRENGTHS
  • Nimble: Forgoing excess mass in exchange for maneuverability, the Versio’s ion drives and maneuvering jets can propel and maneuver the corvette at high rates respectively.
  • Atmospheric Capable: Equipped with a series of repulsorlift generators, the Versio corvette can maintain prolonged flight within a planet's atmosphere, allowing the vessel to deploy troops on the ground if the situation demands it.
  • Troop Carrier: In situations where troop deployment is necessary, the Versio’s loading bay can temporarily carry approximately 20 soldiers.
WEAKNESSES
  • Poor Defenses: The Versio carries a mere 2 dual laser cannons for purposes of defense. Any amount of fighter craft is almost guaranteed to get past the corvette’s screen and get a shot at the vessel itself.
  • Short Range: Built to operate within the confines of friendly Bilbringese space, the Versio is equipped with provisions for only a matter of months, and otherwise requires regular refueling from friendly ports or tanker ships to maintain any sort of long patrol.
  • Temporary Transport: Though able to carry 20 soldiers in its loading bay, the Versio possesses no manner of barracks facilities, meaning that this is only a temporary and highly situational loadout.
DESCRIPTION
As Bilbringi’s defense fleet gradually did away with its formerly dominant ancient Imperial designs, vessels of all kinds would leave the Bilbringi shipyards– carrying the outer appearances of vessels such as the Arquitens-class Light Cruiser and the Imperial-class Star Destroyer. These were powerful warships, meant as symbols of Bilbringi’s growing military strength. But behind each of these towering sights were swaths upon swathes of less glamorous designs, ships operating in relative obscurity that nonetheless became the blood of the fleet.

The Versio-class, 64 meters from bow to stern, was designed as a short-range patrol vessel, mainly keeping within Bilbringi’s own system, intercepting pirates, smugglers, or any threat that could escape the detection of vessels situated on the fringes of allied space. Should the need arise, Versio-class corvettes could be retasked with deploying Bilbringese infantry to contested sites. Though not a dedicated warship like its counterparts in the fleet’s modernization program, the corvette was more than well-suited to the types of peacekeeping operations it would be tasked with.

Despite their immense contributions to the Bilbringi fleet, Versio-class vessels were nonetheless often seen as unglamourous postings, typically crewed by disgraced officers or less-experienced recruits rather than any of the Naval Academy’s best. But this mentality was hardly a fact set in stone. Many of Bilbringi’s best officers would begin postings aboard Versio corvettes, proving their valor in seeking out threats to their planet’s security.
