Allanean Arms Wave Class Corvette
The very first design from the Kazansky design lab reflected the Allanean government directive of effectiveness through the shortest distance. The Wave looks ugly—a product of results over style—but flies remarkably well. Its robust bulk keeps aloft with thrusters alone considering it carries no aeroform. If engines fail for any reason, the Maddox drops like a rock. Luckily, an incident has never occurred involving engine failure. Eight Allanean Arms propriety fusion drives simply called "B-16" power the various engines throughout the hull including the (count them) sixteen pulse ion drives pointed aft.
The Corvette patrols most of the space controlled by the Allaneans and most of the patrols consist of only one or two vessels. Therefore they have to be moderately self-sufficient. Each Wave carries a pair of small docking collars where two Coulters rest docked. The crew don’t live in a lap of luxury on board. Living conditions are cramped and dark. Most crew members on tour cannot last more than three months before needing a vacation.
Beyond the base two railcannons on the nose, the Wave also sports another pointing aft. It is far more armed than need be in a vessel of this class - typical for Allaneans. While not a shuttle or assault craft by any means, it is still capable of bearing two Hannibal Lector tanks into combat.
In an atmosphere, the Wave is slow and cumbersome but landing is capable.
