Marauder Heavy Corvette

Based off the Raider class corvette from Star Wars and an art piece I found online, though I don't know what it's called. The Marauder is a Heavy Corvette with a design length of roughly 160m, designed with high range and endurance in mind. Omni-directional ion thrust is used for long range cruising, while hydrogen thrusters add combat maneuverability. Capable of jumping over 4200km and equiped with an extremely basic production and power generation suite in case of being stranded outside of logistical range. This Ship Was Designed With the ADJUSTABLE THRUSTER MULTIPLIERS Mod in mind with 6X Thrust Intended.

Role, as mentioned the Marauder is a Long-Range Heavy Corvette. Therefore it is intended to act as a long range escort for both marauding forces, logistical forces. Not intended for heavy combat, lacking any heavy weapons or armament to speak of, a Marauder should never be allowed under the guns of a destroyer or heavier. In large formations the Marauder should be held in the flanks, providing it with room to maneuver.

Armament, 14 240mm cannons, 6 Spartan plasma cannons, 20 Riptide flak turrets, 24 Atlas pdc, 16 Longbow Missile launchers and 24 Flechette launchers. A jack of all trades, the Marauder's only weakness is offense oriented corvettes and frigates which can either intercept or chase it down. Well rounded weaponry makes it ideal for dealing with enemy logistic fleets, long range patrol, and defensive duties, such as rapid response or stationkeeping.

Defenses, with no armor to speak of and 8 small shield generators, speed and maneuverability are your friends. Critical Systems are spaced apart from one another, but the Marauder can easily be ripped in half from any system detonating. A determined frigate or anti-ship corvette can easily destroy the Marauder class.

Story, created for second-line and secondary theater duties, where frigates and heavier forces weren't needed and to free up more frigates for more intense combat. The Marauder was intended primarily to aid against, pirates, criminals and the Republic fleet which relied heavily on carriers and frigates. The Marauder class is one of 4 types, intended to play a supporting role for it's more specialized and larger counterparts.
