Description
A corvette designed by the Lyran Commonwealth, the Mako-class corvette is a quick, well armed and armored vessel. The vessel's small size and quickness are in stark contrast to conventional Lyran combat doctrines, emphasizing large size to maximize armor and firepower, a doctrine responsible for naval vessels like the Tharkad-class battleship. The Mako serves primarily as an escort vessel for larger fleet movements, but is equally capable as a border garrison or as a lone ship conducting independent operations.[2]
The Mako was produced at the Bolson Shipyards over New Kyoto between 2692 and 2787. During this time, more than 100 Mako-class vessels were constructed.[2] By 2765 the Lyran Commonwealth navy had twenty-seven Makos in service,[3] although the Lyran Commonwealth was ever the consummate trading state and also sold the ship to foreign powers, including the Terran Hegemony and the Rim Worlds Republic. As a result, Makos fought on both sides of the Amaris Civil War.[2]
Production of the Mako ceased after the Free Worlds League destroyed the Bolson Shipyards. Attrition led to the eventual destruction of every Mako in service; the last Mako-class vessel was destroyed over Caledonia trying to repel a Kurita invasion in 2841.[2]
Armament
The Mako boasts an impressive armament for a small naval vessel, including naval autocannons, naval PPCs, and naval lasers for engaging other WarShips. The Mako also possesses lasers, Gauss rifles and autocannons for anti-aerospace fighter defense.[2]
However, the most impressive features of the Mako are its maneuverability and its armor. The 200,000 ton Mako mounts nearly 200 tons of armor, and is capable of exceptionally quick 4.5 G acceleration.[2]
Cargo
The Mako is not designed for transport. The Mako possesses no DropShip collars, and has only 2 bays, capable of transporting only 2 small craft and just 980.5 tons of cargo.[2]
