 The NA-S3-1a Heavy Corvette, otherwise known as the Jackdaw, is a long ship often painted in either green or black with a pincer-like armored tip. A variation of design, the Jackdaw has an angular and still rather blocky form. It earns its name from a type of smaller bird, in respect to the naming of prior Nepleslian fighter craft being named [[faction:nepleslia:small_craft:na-fa-7x_goliath|after bugs]]. The NA-S3-1a Heavy Corvette, otherwise known as the Jackdaw, is a long ship often painted in either green or black with a pincer-like armored tip.

 ===== About the Ship ===== ===== About the Ship =====
 The Jackdaw-Class Heavy Corvette is, without a doubt, an attempt to produce a lighter, intercepting-focused ship and a planetary-assault support ship into one corvette. Developed near the end of [[timeline:ye_38]] and finalized in [[timeline:ye_39]], the Jackdaw was produced as an answer to Nepleslia's lacking abilities to face enemies who could turn tail before their fleet arrived. Designed with mostly fixed weaponry, the Jackdaw is intended to ambush hostile forces or to chase them down when the stronger and slower navy behind it isn't quite enough. With its Fabricators and Hydroponics, it performs its jobs best when used abroad as it can often obtain supplies and prolong its service periods. The Jackdaw-Class Heavy Corvette is, without a doubt, an attempt to produce a lighter, intercepting-focused ship and a planetary-assault support ship into one corvette.

 The Jackdaw-Class, like other ships before it of escort capability, is a long ship. Not particularly slender, it bulks up into a six-finned shape with four of its ERS systems mounted at the rear of the craft. Thicker armor plating reinforces the fin-like juts of its body, bulkheads and rises littering its main body. A decoy bridge lies near the top of one of its main cannons, placed near the back and between two of these fins. Two more guns are positioned on its side-most fins, with a final main cannon near the front and along the bottom. Smaller turrets adorn the sides of the ship, with two additional ERS positioned near the start of its side fins. A VLS system rests near the center of the ship, with multiple doors to ensure each individual tube is sealed. The most prominent trait, however, would be the pincer-like armor doors at the front of the craft, kept "pinched" to conceal its main torpedo tubes. These will often open, allowing it to fire its heavy payload when the moment is right. The Jackdaw-Class, like other ships before it of escort capability, is a long ship.

 Unlike most warships, the Jackdaw's cargo storage sections are along its belly due to the scattering and different position of its space-faring equipment. Nicknamed "The Breast", this belly-mounted section is large enough to hold many ground assets, power-armor bays, and effectively any cargo or supplies they may find in the field. A large elevator panel is positioned near one side, allowing it to lower things rather than act as a ramp. The decision for this design relies solely on the fact that it can lower and allow Marines or PA troops to deploy in more directions or even fire from it while using it as a shield. Unlike most warships, the Jackdaw's cargo storage sections are along its belly due to the scattering and different position of its space-faring equipment.
