This is an example of the QUOON class of Fleet Vessel. Caravels are the New Federation's smallest commissioned vessels. Their primary mission is to escort fighters into enemy formations to soften up targets for them and to protect them against enemy frigates. As such, they are small, very maneuverable, and armed with light weaponry. Caravels are small enough to be able to make planetfall and occasionally perform close air support missions for ground troops.
