Union Corvettes



Union Corvettes - UC

Are technically not a ship class. Union fleet units designated UC are not Uniform Design ship but units of any of the member species deemed

useful in some way. While the maority of ships are "Union built" and designed after the Uniform Design doctrine, there are vessels that came into Union Fleet service  when the society building those ships joined the Union.

The "assimilated" fleets are not scrapped or mothballed right away. Partially out of respect to the joining society and partially to test and evaluate all design aspects, in order to  learn if some solutions found are not better than Union tech solutions or concepts that are deemed worthy for further devemopment.

Union Corvettes are technically ships smaller than a cruiser, but over the centuries it is simply a collective designation for the above described ships and come in virtually all sizes. From Dai Mothers to Mini Terran Battle Spheres.

The two Narth Spheres, most of the Dai Ships including mothers, Nul Carriers , Nul Core Combat Units , Nul Mine Layers , ancient Terran battle ships , Seenian ships (below the Lyrec and Karmat class)

Saresii ships, Togar Battle ships [1] , a host of Karthanian ships , the Golden Spheres and a multitude of ships from many other societies are still used and all carry the UC hull designation.

All these ships with the exception of the two Narth spheres received some kind of refurbishment or upgrade. [1] See the Togar Karthanian Torpedo pride
