Description: One of the smallest fully active capital ships in the Centauri Republic navy, the Corvan is lightly armed, well defended and well-liked across the admiralty. It is a vessel with a singular purpose that it excels at time and time again – scouting. The Corvan is the stealthiest capital ship the Centauri have ever produced and while it is not quite as untraceable as a Minbari vessel, it is still very capable of jamming most sensors with its sizable ECM suite.

Armed with the standard twin arrays that nearly every Centauri ship bears, the Corvan would obviously rather slip by undetected or escape unscathed over having to go toe to toe with a larger vessel – who will probably out-range, outgun and outlast the smallish electronic platform. Being a Sentri pilot on a Corvan has been unofficially noted as being a suicide assignment; and for good reason. Most Corvan only ever launch their fighters if they are being engaged, and only then to buy them enough time for the ship itself to make good its flight!
