==Description==
The '''''Corone'''''-class [[destroyer]] was manufactured at the [[Clan Snow Raven]] shipyards in the [[Lum]] system during the Golden Century. It demonstrated the direction that [[Clan]] naval warfare would take for the next century or more. The ''Corone'' was designed to work independently as a light raider, conducting the Trial-based warfare that had become the Clan norm.<ref name="TRO:GCp60">''Technical Readout: Golden Century'', pp. 60–61: "Corone"</ref>

The design of the ''Corone'' represented a distinct break from the [[Star League Defense Force]] concept of operations for a destroyer, which had seen such ships operating in squadrons; as a consequence, each ''Corone'' was intended to carry the [[DropShip]] and [[aerospace fighter]] contingent more commonly seen on [[SLDF]] cruisers twice the weight of the ''Corone''. A ''Corone'' could successfully launch deep penetration raids into the territory of other Clans, operating alone and striking hard.  The presence of an onboard [[HPG]] also meant that the ''Corone'' could act as a support and communications ship for a larger naval formation if the Ravens had the need to deploy more than a single WarShip.<ref name="TRO:GCp60"/>

Production of the ''Corone'' was limited to just six ships in the class, due to the combination of the significant quantities of former SLDF WarShips available for refurbishment and reuse, and the amount of resources needed to build each ship. Despite their low numbers, the ''Corone'' quickly proved their worth, winning multiple Trials. Their success also proved to be their ultimate downfall; other Clans saw how successful the ''Corone'' was, and began to emulate them. The first example of this was the ''[[York (WarShip class)|York]]''-class destroyer refit, which produced a ship that was faster, more heavily armed, and carried more fighters. Fifteen years after the first ''York'' left its slips, the ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class corvette made its debut, and was faster, easier to maintain and carried the same number of fighters. In [[2946]] the Ravens mothballed the two surviving ''Corones'', but would later use the design as the basis for the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class [[battleship]].<ref name="TRO:GCp60"/>

== Armament ==
The ''Corone'' mounted a substantial quantity of capital weapons. Each arc mounted an [[NAC/10]] supplied with 20 rounds of ammunition, while the broadside arcs mounted two. An [[NL35]] was mounted in the nose and directly aft, while a larger [[NL45]] was mounted in each of the left and right arcs fore and aft. The broadside arcs as well as the nose and aft also mounted a single [[light NPPC]]. To supplement these weapons, every arc mounted a pair of [[ER large laser]]s, while left and right fore and aft arcs also mounted a pair of [[ER PPC]]s. In common with other Clan WarShips, each ''Corone'' mounted an HPG.<ref name="TRO:GCp60"/>

== Cargo ==
* Bay 1: fighters (20) - 2 doors<ref name="TRO:GCp60"/>
* Bay 2: BattleMechs (45) - 3 doors<ref name="TRO:GCp60"/>
* Bay 3: cargo (35,810 tons) - 1 door<ref name="TRO:GCp60"/>
