The Marauder Corvette boasts 8 turbolasers, making it an efficient capital ship killer. While its smaller size and lower shields and hull do not enable it to stand face to face against its larger brothers, it is particularly suited to destroying other corvette class ships. Combining the Marauder with larger ships in a fleet enable a commander to protect his flank from faster corvettes. While the Marauder lacks anti-fighter weaponry, it does boast a small docking bay which can accomodate a full squadron of small fighters, such as the R-41 starchaser. This escort is then able to defend the Marauder from attacking starfighters that can slip through the turbolaser screen. The Marauder Corvette is also ideal as a system and sector patrol vessel. Using its single squadron of starfighters to disable a ship, the Marauder can then sweep in and use its 3 tractor beams to capture the ship, and return it to its base.

Suggested Roles: System and Sector Patrol, Fleet escort
