''Actuarius''-class Corvette

The Actuarius-class Corvette is the smallest of the three classes of combat starship currently employed in the battlegroups of the Grand Fleet.

The Fleet currently has just less than 8,000 of these vessels in service. They are designed to engage smaller hostile warships, provide perimeter defense, and anti-starfighter defense. Their particle beams are specially-designed to fire much faster and more easily target smaller vessels. Their missiles and mines are effective against warships of any size when deployed wisely.

The senior officer of the vessel will hold the rank of commander. The first officer and department heads will all hold the rank of subcommander.
