• Shadow Drive-hyperdrive

STRENGTHS

• Derumium Hull/Material Benefits- the strengths of Derumium apply to the ship due to the metal making up its hull and internal technology systems.
  • Through usage of the force/Sith alchemy, damage to the Derumium making up the ship can be repaired to looking brand new.
• Capable Commanders- the Derumic Android Lords are designated as the commanders of these vessels.
  • The Lords have the most free will under Akhuul, as a result, they are prone to use more advanced maneuvers and will be less algorithmic in their tactics.
  • Acts as a command node for Derumic Android Soldiers piloting the fighter craft.
• Ability vs Age- despite being constructed before the Great Hyperspace War, these ships are on paar with modern ships (ships made as of this post).
• Derusphere- the Derusphere Shield technology used creates an extremely effective barrier against most forms of damage.
• Lighter Frame- due to the smaller size, these ships are more maneuverable than other larger craft made by Derumic Androids, allowing for greater maneuverability and speed compared to its counterparts.
• Quiet- the engine technology makes these ships nigh-impossible to track using auditorially based detection systems.

WEAKNESSES

• Irreplaceable- if any of these ships are destroyed beyond repair, there is not enough Derumium to construct a replacement.
• Important Target- because of the necessity of command for the lower ranking Derumic Androids, neutralizing these ships will cause the smaller craft piloted by Derumic Android Soldiers to stop in their tracks after they carry out the most recent order, and leave them at the mercy of the enemy.
• Few in Number- as well as being irreplaceable, there is only a select few ever made (one per Lord), which makes their losses ever more devastating for Akhuul's estate.
• Too Effective Shielding- the Derusphere Shield technology is so effective at deflecting energy damage, that the craft has to temporarily lower shields for sides where cannon batteries are present while firing in order for the volleys to not get reflected back to the ship.
• More Damage Prone- due to the lighter form as a small command craft, the ship is more prone to damage than other large space craft made by Derumic Androids.

DESCRIPTION
When constructing his navy, the ancient Sith Lord Akhuul Sautra planned to have it commanded by his apprentices. As a result, the Reaver-Class Corvette was designed as a lesser command ship to accompany his much larger personal ship. The fleet was more designed to defend Sautra Vokh, as a result, hardly any ships were designed in variety. However, the corvettes were given just enough space to house a single squadron of fighters, while also having a single ship hangar for the commanding Lord's shuttle in the case of boarding another vessel, landing on a planet, or escaping destruction/capture. These ships make up the backbone of the Derumic Android navy, which has sat dormant while Sautra Vokh was kept hidden from the rest of teh galaxy since the beginning times of the Great Hyperspace War.

The age of these vessels has caused little weakness, as the Derumium based technologies developed by Akhuul's estate led to such technological advancement for the time that all the technology developed in Akhuul's labs remain on paar with modern space craft (space craft made as of this post). The twin batteries of Derumic Cannons act as the primary armaments for the ship. Meanwhile, the common Derusphere shielding technology is utilized as well as the Shadow Drive used by all Derumic Android space craft. With their status of being hiddent from the rest of the galaxy, and belonging to the Derumic Android Lords to carry out the will of Akhuul Sautra, these ships are extremely unlikely to be abused by the greater galaxy.
