Description: When an Ugly becomes a standard design you know you've done something right. Cobbled together by the various independent shipyards scattered throughout the Outer Rim, and more specifically the Outer Rim Coalition, the Corvo-Class light cruiser was a design made from various aging starship parts that eventually became its own design after the Outer Rim Coalition began forming lose connections to the various communities scattered throughout that lawless area of space. It is a combination of several species' technologies and benefits from them all in ways that makes this cobbled ship work somehow. Similar to the Redoubt-Class light cruiser it's primary function is to serve as a mobile starbase for local spacer communities and not combat. Relatively cheap and with a mineral processing plant on board most models they serve as mobile mining operations for large communes and other types of communities to make credits as they travel throughout the stars. The Corvo-Class boasts an impressive hangar, most often used as storage and living space by those within, but can service dozens of starships within its cavernous hangar and storage bays. Its markets and makeshift homes serve those who enter and those who call the ship home.
