Basics
The corvette is a defensive small ship. Its primary function is to defend miners and deter any offensive attack, however it may be used offensively (usually accompanied by a wraith). It is quite stout and relatively fast, with a decent turning speed. It excels at soaking up damage and giving out good firepower, especially at close range.
Abilities
~ The corvette comes equipped with a photon barrage. This weapons fires out five, averagely fast bullets that spread out in a ~45 degrees angle. Every single bullet deals a moderate damage, but all five of them deal a high amount of damage. They're relatively cheap to cast, energy-wise, but spamming photon barrages can quickly drain energy.
