Corvettes (or light escorts) are small lightly armed warships that have been used by several spacefaring civilizations including the Klingons and the Federation. Corvettes are often used as scouting units launched ahead of the main fleet. (Last Unicorn RPG module: The Price of Freedom; TOS novel: Spock Must Die!)
