Description:

With the galaxy aflame and the Republic beset by both the One Sith and the Mandalorians, Supreme Chancellor Popo realized that the outdated Republic fleet desperately required newer, modern ships. Calling together those corporations willing to commit their wartime production to a new and combat ready fleet in return for tax breaks and government funding, Popo used the following commitment to begin the production of the first ships of this new fleet.

Recognizing a need for a heavy corvette, as outlandish as it seemed, the Dorin-class Assault Corvette was created. While seemingly a rather niche design, the Dorin is actually fairly revolutionary. The Dorin features a nasty array of weaponry for a corvette class in the form of six heavy turbolasers and six warhead launchers set along its dorsal and ventral sections. This allows the corvette to bring a brutal array of weapons in a 360 degree arc laterally around itself. Along with the moderate anti-starfighter guns, the Dorin is believed to be able to hold its own against ships larger than itself in a straight fight. Also, the corvette features no hangar space and has instead converted this area to two heavy shield generators, one ray and one particle. This, plus the heavy armor the corvette features, allows the Dorin to tango with multiple opponents of the same class or a few of a larger class, much more than its less heavily armed and armored brethren.

Unfortunately, the Dorin has a few faults. The ship is slow due to the heavy armor and power drain from the shielding. Also, while the ship can bring a withering array of fire around itself laterally, attacking from above or below effectively cuts the weapon effectiveness in half. Finally, due to the low number of AA guns, the Dorin is susceptible to enemy starfighters and bombers.

This is pretty vanilla. I's a ship. It has guns. Nothing stands out as needing addressing.

Approved, pending secondary approval.

I am appalled that this ship has guns. It is flagrantly against Factory policy. I'm going to have to deny it and hit you with a six-month Factory ban.
