STRENGTHS

• Interception and Devastation: The Wyrm corvettes boast a respectable armament and an even more respectable sensor and communication arrays which allow them to locate targets and initiate crippling first strikes on warships and fleets of varying size. They specialize in being able to track and keep pace with enemy vessels, relaying such information back to their own fleets without issue and being able to hold their own when detected.

WEAKNESSES

• Part of the Whole: While they can operate away from a larger fleet without much issue, pure independent operations aren't their strongsuit. They work best in conjuction with a task force, being able to hold their own and move at their own speed but without the heavier firepower or utility needed to be truly sole agents.

DESCRIPTION
The catalog of Sanguine Defense Works was fairly limited in regards to starships and this was of little surprise to them behind the scenes. Bulking out Sith forces had been their priority for the most part, but it soon became apparent that their existing products weren't quite bringing in enough credits to support their ambitions. As such one of their designs which was already in development but which hadn't reached production yet would be modified for more general purpose use and larger production.

The Wyrm Class Corvette would be their newest product as a result, a general purpose yet heavily armed vessel which would be ideal for patrol duties and for the typical corvette role in larger fleets as well. The Wyrm features a potent and relatively diverse array of weaponry as well as enough hangar space for a single starfighter squadron, making it a quick favorite of local sector goverments and mercenary forces alike once it hit the wider market. A droid brain targeting system helps to keep the crew requirement fairly low as well, allowing the Wyrms to be fielded in greater numbers even for those forces with limited manpower.

Its more direct role, which was its original design philosophy despite the tinkering to make it more general purpose, is to track and carry out assaults against mobile task forces and fleets. Acting as the extension of a larger naval force which can keep pace with smaller fleets and individual targets while peppering them with fire if needed. Of course they are more than suitable for direct fleet combat as well, making them more capable in warfare than just as scouts and harassment.
