3.3.1 Corvette |
ST-1 Covert Ops Scout
- The ST-1 scouts are the primary reconnaissance and intelligence craft employed by the UGTO. Their heavy ECM loadout allows them to venture deep into hostile territory, while their long-range scanner allows them to monitor enemy activity from a safe distance. Modified variants of this ship class are also employed by the UGTO intelligence agencies HUGIN and MUNIN, for covert operations both at home and abroad. Rumor has it that their variants carry a single Quantum Singularity Bomb in place of a conventional self-destruct charge, to ensure that state secrets never fall into the wrong hands.

ST-2 Assault Corvette
- ST-2 corvettes are potent light attack ships. Between their high mobility, small size, heavy guns and torpedo launchers, they can make short work of any rag-tag pirate raider. The sight of them guarding regular shipping lanes has become a welcome sight to both civilian and military traffic--civilian because they protect against piracy, and military because it frees them up to deal with actual threats instead of just pirate scum.

ST-4 Blockade Corvette
- A relatively new tool in the UGTO's grab-bag of dirty tricks, ST-4s are built to sneak behind enemy lines and deploy their payload of mines at strategic locations--like, say, the approach lanes for jumpgates--with the intent of disrupting civilian shipping. Though they cannot carry very many mines compared to larger ships, their small size and ECM array makes them quite difficult for ICC patrol ships to track down and destroy. Since their introduction they have wreaked havoc on shipping; the Confederation economy is still struggling to recover.

ST-5 Bomber Corvette
- ST-5 Bombers are dangerous little ships. With as few frills as possible, they amount to little more than an engine and jumpdrive slapped onto a bomb bay. They are fast, cheap and unbeknownst to their crews, expendable. For many years now they have been used to slow the expansion of the Confederation by attacking newly-founded colonies, wiping them out before they can ever get basic defenses up. In many cases their targets never even get a distress call out, so their fate is a mystery until patrol ships arrive... and find nothing but craters remaining.
