DESCRIPTION
The Bolt VI-class Tactical Assault Corvette is the sixth generation of the Bolt line and the new standard for Commonwealth strike flotillas. Designed by Primo Victorian Enterprises, it fulfills a vital role as a pack leader, skirmisher, and fire support element in high-speed void battles.

Equipped with advanced plasma weaponry, point-defense turrets, and a devastating forward punch, the Bolt VI thrives in coordinated wolfpack assaults. With support from its Arbalest capacitor, it can unleash energy surges for either defense or offense. The Vanguard-GTS system ensures targeting remains sharp, especially in sync with its sister ships like the Kelly-class.

The vessel carries a crew of 12–18 and one dedicated medical droid. It has no fighter bay but boasts elite sensor arrays, redundant shield grids, and automated suppression turrets. Within the doctrine of the Twelve Claws, Bolt Packs lead fast multi-vector assaults, cutting deep into enemy flanks.

Though officially dubbed a Tactical Assault Corvette, crew across the Commonwealth still affectionately call it what it is: “The fastest damn patrol boat in any sector worth fighting for.”
