Corvette
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
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. (RPG reference: The Price of Freedom; TOS novel: Spock Must Die!)
