	The main armament of the corvette is a single large charged particle cannon built into the nose. Corvettes are designed to be extremly manuverable as this cannon can only fire in a single direction. Defensive armaments include quad beam ~~turrettes~~ mounted above and below the ship, which each provide a 360/180 field of fire. The corvette is also armed for anti-capital-ship combat, with two torpedoes and six N2 mines.		The main armament of the corvette is a single large charged particle cannon built into the nose.

	Corvettes have been in use since the days of the original [[Gudersnipe Army]].

	The ramjet offers a lower [[acceleration curve]] but uses essentially no fuel, only electrical power, allowing for longer-duration operations.

	Power for the spacecraft is provided by a pair of [[UZH Reactor]]s similar to the one used on the [[Gargoyle]] mid-range bomber. The power plants are designed to operate fully independantly of each other, allowing for seperate pulse-cycles. One can power the entire ship, however a pulse can be used to fire the main cannon at much higher intensity.

			The Falcon's engine is a dual-type [[Ion vacuum drive]] and [[Bussard Ramjet]]. The main cannon at the nose of the ship doubles as an active magnet ramsoop, drawing in particles either to be burned in the ion-vacuum or compressed in the ramjet.
