Maneuverability Rating: 8

Strengths:

•

Weaknesses:

• 
  Forward Firing Arc: The Corvette has few defenses in the back and underside.
  
• 
  Minimal Purpose: Built for the purpose of only attacking and preying on ships smaller in size, the Raider Corvette is incapable of competing with ships larger than it in most scenarios.
  

Description: Based off of the typical Sith design of cheap and performing a singular task, A’sharad, the head of Tantorian Industries commissioned the Raider-class Heavy Corvette to fill a gap in the First Order’s Navy; smaller, more maneuverable ships. However, blockade runners weren’t in the job description of the Sith Corporation, and it follows in the footsteps of past Sith Empires of serving the single purpose of dealing out as much damage as possible in as little time as possible.

Hey, so this is a carrier corvette and is a bit unbalanced as far as weapons go for that type of corvette.
you will either need to drop the squadron or the armament rating and weapons. or do some development. This is armed like a heavy corvette with a hanger

so without development, make the armament 4 and the weapon count 16 turbolasers with the squadron and support craft

You can make a secondary break down of fire arcs if you want with the fore arc heavier
something like
Armament Rating: 4
Forward Arc: 10
Port/Starboard Arc 2
Aft Arc 1
or
You could keep the 24 turbolasers and make the armament 10 with 10 posts of development
or
For the armament rating 16 you would need to do 20 posts of development to keep the hanger and the weapons.

Really? I was using the Marauder as a basis and that is the Chaos provided Heavy Corvette, though I realize now that my mistake was thinking that the Marauder had 30 Turbolasers, whereas the Chaos guideline says you can have that as a max.

Done as suggested, dropped the weapons and armament rating.
