Description
There are five main types of warships in the Humanasol League Fleet: corvettes, destroyers, light cruisers, heavy cruisers, and battleships. These warships are supplemented by numerous types of auxiliary ships such as fleet tenders, tugs, hospital ships, and various sizes of armed freighters.
Corvettes are the smallest and most numerous warship type. They form 45% of the total number of warships in the fleet. Corvettes serve in a variety of roles such as surveying, scouting, stealth surveillance, search and rescue, and light escort. Too small to carry their own smallcraft, corvettes are capable of landing on planetary surfaces. Some corvettes carry two launches in externally mounted racks, especially on scouting and search and rescue missions. Corvettes are the warship type that most often operates alone. The "Flame of Fury" class is by far the most common corvette class currently serving in the Humanasol League Fleet.

Nice up-close detail. The "upside down" view through me for a bit of a loop, though, until I get used to it.

Most impressive fleet work!!! Excellent designs!!!

Just a niggly. Add one or two of the LKGs (Light Kinetic Gun) on the stern to cover your six. Those PDGs on the stern don't offer enough coverage.

In response to Bill Wa's comment about the lack of major aft armament on the corvette, this is due to two things: 1) the need for a flat bottom on the vessel to make regular landing on planetary surfaces easy which results in 2) the lack of space on the upper aft hull the desired armament due to engineering equipment that must be mounted there instead. In an effort to make the Humanasol League Fleet ships more realistic as relatively primitive starships, I have deliberately included some weak spots, usually on the underside aft area of the warships. Since the Humanasol League ships normally operate in squadrons during combat operations, they watch each other's back. Also, gunboats usually serve as escorting smallcraft during any major combat engagement. On a lighter note, in "The Empire Strikes Back", how was the Millennium Falcon able to maneuver itself to latch onto the back of a Star Destroyer's command module unseen by other capital ships and escorting TIE fighters? It seems to me the Imperial Starfleet lacked any capital ships smaller than a battleship, at least as portrayed on film.
