Overview:
Sleek and swift (but also extremely cramped), the Lyran Mako-class corvette is well named, a homage to its sea-dwelling shark progenitor. The small WarShip- it is little longer than a transport JumpShip, though considerably broader-is capable of sustaining 3G maneuvers and can sprint up to 4.5Gs. It out performs almost all opposing WarShips and many DropShips, while still mounting an array of weapons and armor that are impressive for the vessel's mass.
The Mako's manufacturer, Bolson Shipyards of New Kyoto, was best known for their more conventional JumpShips for the LCAF (as well as numerous civilian models). The corvette was their sole entry into the combat JumpShip market. The design was a stark contrast to the Lyran doctrine of using heavy naval vessels. It was intended to serve as an escort for the larger vessels and handle independent operations, patrolling the Commonwealth's boarders and serving as picket vessels in the more isolated Lyran systems.
More than one hundred Makos were constructed between 2692 and the fall of the Star League, principally for the LCAF but also for export. The Star League employed a handful of the design, as courier vessels, and the Rim Worlds Republic like wise purchased five to bolster their own "loyalist" fleet during the troubles elsewhere in the Periphery. Makos thus fought on both sides of the conflict to liberate Terra from the Usurper. It is believed that all SLDF and Rim Worlds Republic Makos were destroyed in the conflict: there were certainly none left with the Clans.
The Lyrans own Makos were devastated in the brutal fighting that took place along the boarder with the Free Worlds League in 2787. The Bolson yards themselves were shattered by Marik action in that offensive. With their destruction, the ability to maintain Mako-class vessels was lost. Attrition took its toll on the design, and while many were lost to enemy action, a number were scrapped when it became impossible to keep them in service. This cannibalization allowed the corvette to remain in service until 2841, when the last Mako was destroyed attempting to defend Caledonia from Kurita forces in the second Succession War.
