Shields: 16 000
Length: 200 m
Weapons: Two Laser Batteries
Fighters: None.
Cargo space: 90 m³
Capable of landing to planet: Yes.
Capable of atmospheric flight: Yes.
Info: The Inorganic class corvette was designed to be a fire support vessel for the bigger cruisers during the first conflicts against the Bacterians. It’s duty was to intercept Bacterian fighters so that the smaller enemy ships couldn't harass the bigger cruiser while it was engaging the enemy capital ships. The result was a disaster, the ship didn’t have much of space for the small crew and the weapons sucked right from the start, the ship's shields were miscalculated so that a Bacterian cruiser took an “Inorganic” down with only two or three shots from their capital ships Although, the ship was very fast, but bit couldn’t do anything to almost any Bacterian ship. The Design is now about 120 years old and all Inorganics were decommissioned soon after the initial peace treaty with the Bacterians and Hemmoians.

No.

Info: The Olympia class corvette was made right after the Third Bacterian war. It was a major update to the outdated corvette line of the GA military. It was fast with good weapons and fast engines. It served a big role in the Lightness war and after it too. The only Problem was the bad placement of the Fusion reactor into the back of the ship, where it could easily shut down the whole ship, if hit bad. Many of the Olympias are still in service and will continue to be in service for years to come. Recently, the Hephaestus republic has acquired several Olympia class corvettes into their Militia.

Info: Jotta is even quite new design. First Jotta came out of the dock during the Lightness war. In the Lightness war Jotta was good against Lightness fighters and corvettes. Of course alone Jotta couldn't defeat Lightness corvette or group of fighters, but in group or with other ships they were excellent. Jottas were mass produced during the Lightness war, but once it ended their production went pretty much to zero. Jottas then again served in the GA-IPA conflict where their job was again mostly to destroy enemy fighters. Several Jottas also were in the Emissary conflicts destroying Emissary fighters. Currently Jottas are widely used to destroy incoming fighters or corvettes and probably will be used a long time still.
