Corvette

The Maskirovka IPV-1 Corvette is a hard ship to classify - its maneuverability and acceleration make it perform like a heavy fighter, but it is armed like a light capital ship. Maskirovka builds the Corvette to fill the gap in the commercial starship market between the classical starfighters and the super-powerful Atinoda Kestrel. The Corvette has been popular with corporate governments who need to police their space, as it makes an excellent customs and patrol vessel.

Rebel Destroyer

When a team of defecting engineers from CDX Starworks approached the Rebel High Command with a unique proposal, the Rebel destroyer was born. Because of the fact that it is essentially a CDX Argosy with extra armor, uprated engines, and gun turrets, the destroyer is cheap to mass-produce. However, because it is still a freighter at heart, its performance is not up to the level of the Confederate frigate or the Atinoda Kestrel. Still, it remains an important part of the Rebel fleet.

Confederate Frigate

Terran Naval Yards builds the FF-4237 frigate exclusively for the Confederation Navy. It is a rugged and flexible design, more than a match for the puny Atonida Kestrel and any other escort ships. The use of this glorious ship as the backbone of the Navy's task forces will surely be sufficient to crush the Rebellion's pitiful space fleets.
