Corvette class vessels are the next step up from the fighter craft, being slightly larger and slower, however possessing more powerful weapons. The Hiigaran's corvette class ships all come produced in wings of 3, (with the exception of the Minelayer) that work together to accomplish a single directive. These ships, like fighters, do not posses the ability to make hyperspace jumps on their own, but can be loaded within a vessel with hangar capacity and piggyback through. These ships provide an excellent middle ground attack craft, nimble enough to avoid heavy weaponry like Ion Beams but well armored enough to withstand moderate fire from point defenses or fighter craft.

The Corvette facility is the addon structure you will have to construct on your Mothership, Carrier or Shipyard in order to build any ships of the corvette class. Like with the other vessel producing facilities that are added on to the external hull of your cap ships, the Corvette Facility can be destroyed by focused fire on the subsystem, preventing further production until it is replaced.
