Manufacturer: Federated-Boeing Interstellar, Port Sydney Naval Shipyards
Location: Galax, Alarion
Overview:
The RX-78 Class corvette was the first combat JumpShip built by the Federated Commonwealth. Design work started in mid 3050, and by late 3051 the WarShip design had reached its present form. After Prince Hanse Davion approved the design, the Federated Commonwealth contracted Federated-Boeing Interstellar to produce the vessel at its Port Simon yards at Galax. The death of Prince Davion in mid 3052 came a scant two months before the keel-laying ceremony for the first RX-78, the Invincible. In honor of the late prince, the design was redesignated as the Fox Class corvette.
Construction of the prototype WarShip proceeded smoothly until mid 3055, when ComStar blocked the export of vital engine parts to Federated-Boeing. After a 16-month delay, the dispute was finally resolved, and the parts were delivered. Federated-Boeing had hoped to begin trials with the prototype before the end of the year, but the recent terrorist attack on the Galax yards has delayed work and the Fox is not expected to be completed until early 3058.
When compared to the corvettes used by the SLDF, the Fox is well armed and armored, which reflects changes in naval design philosophy. Although the Fox weighs only 235,000 tons, it outguns Star League destroyers almost three times its size. However, this increased performance has a price---namely the comfort of the crew. Twenty-six four-man cabins house Fox's crew and marine complement. Each cabin contains little more than a bunk for each crew member and an equipment locker. Recreation facilities are similarly limited, comprising a small lounge on the vessel's grav deck and two small mess halls. Although the Fox has yet to launch from its dock, potential crew members have already registered their objections to these arrangements. As a result, later vessels (the second and third Foxes are to be named Indomitable and Intrepid respectively) may benefit from redesigned crew facilities.
