- In an improvement over the very old Firezone, the Quagmire has additional minelayers and now is equipped with a multitude of the company's latest defensive weaponry to protect the vessel from enemy projectiles and fighters.
- The Quagmire Corvette makes use of two Aurora Crest Drives for increased speed and maneuverability, while the drives themselves are set to burn TibannaX to give the ship some degree of stealth by making it much harder to detect its ion emissions.
- Unlike the Firezone, the Quagmire also comes with a small hangar bay that can field an entire squadron of starfighters. Aurora Industries recommends the use of interceptor fighter craft.
- While the Quagmire is a much needed upgrade over its predecessor, it still does not come equipped with any offensive weaponry and its defensive weaponry is geared towards defense against enemy projectiles and fighter craft. Anything within its own weight class and above would be able to easily engage it and either destroy or disable it.
- If the rear of the ship is breached by an enemy projectile or turbolaser equivalent shot, it can chain react any mines still in storage and either severely damage or destroy the vessel.
- Damage to the reactor can cause its preservation field keeping its Sianteria crystal stable to fail, causing the crystal to rapidly sublimate and shutdown the reactor until a new crystal can be installed and the preservation field reactivated.
The first actual warship designed in Aurora Industries' Phase III modernization program, the Quagmire-class Minelayer Corvette was designed to replace the, admittedly, obsolete Firezone-class Minelayer the company had been producing since its days as Krayt Industries. A complete redesign was called for, completing redoing the hull with neutronium-impregnated durasteel to be more in line with the general aesthetic of the company while also increasing the size of the vessel to a full two hundred meters. A hangar bay with room for a full squadron of fighter craft was included in the new redesign, a significant upgrade from its predecessor.
The new vessel also saw an increase in its minelayer bays, increasing the count from four to six, while also being installed with the company's new flak guns and point defense system to further help protect it from enemy fighter craft or projectiles such as missiles and torpedoes. The design team also made use of two Aurora Crest Drives for the ship, giving it impressive speed and maneuverability, while also making use of its ability to use and create any type of fuel to have them burn TibannaX to significantly cut down on any ion emissions that might be detected.
