Santiago Corvette

undefined

The Santiago is a class of corvette employed by the United Colonies of Mankind. Atmosphere-capable and of sub-frigate tonnage, the Santiago was designed for a single purpose: to hunt and destroy enemy strike carriers and other atmospheric assets. As a result, it is one of the fastest ships in the UCM's arsenal and equipped with deadly air-to-air missile bays to make quick work of its targets.

Most Santiagos are commanded by fresh graduates from Niccolum's Naval Academy, and are especially favored by more aggressive captains. This is a particular challenging assignment, as atmospheric combat must be fought at close quarters, thereby exposing the fragile Santiago to return fire. However, those few captains who do manage to survive their days aboard a Santiago are frequently marked for greatness afterwards.
