A variation of the Corvette, a Falcon-class corvette is a modified size 4 freighter mainly used for stealth missions simply because of its speed and maneuverability. Its shields also make it a formidable foe when forced to fight, as the only things that will easily get through will be rockets and torpedoes. The two pod laser batteries pack quite a punch when fired at the same target, as they are able to fire in all directions. The Falcon-class corvette is possibly the fastest ship known to the Frontier, especially when firing all engines. While its speed is legendary, its maneuverability is unmatchable to anything currently in use. This ship has been in use since starships were created, as the blueprints for the ship were found by the humans after colonizing Theseus and has had only minor changes occur in the design since. Arguably its most useful trick is its cloaking device, a small apparatus located on top of the cockpit that scrambles radar signals and will occasionally create problems in an energy sensor system as well. A unique feature of this corvette is that it can be outfitted with a one-man fighter in a bay between the "fins" on the front of the ship. Despite its odd shape, it can land on planets, and two chemical engines help it move inside a planet's atmosphere.
