DESCRIPTION
The Vigilant-Class Heavy Corvette is a multi-role escort platform developed for the defense and projection capabilities of the Risen Empire and allied systems. It was commissioned in response to increasing pirate incursions and border zone skirmishes, filling the role of a long-endurance combat vessel able to operate independently or within a task force.

With a wedge-shaped hull evocative of older Imperial design philosophy and modern modular features, the Vigilant is built for adaptability. Its standard version features a reinforced forward hull with powerful turbolaser batteries, a high-capacity deflector shield system, and a dorsal tower integrating advanced sensor and communication systems. While not as maneuverable as lighter corvettes, it is more than capable of holding its own in protracted engagements.

The ship's internal modular design allows for rapid refitting between missions. Despite being deployed primarily along Risen Empire borders, the Vigilant-Class has also seen action in system-clearing operations and anti-smuggler pursuit actions—proving itself as a reliable, adaptable backbone corvette in contested space.
