Description
A corvette designed by the Lyran Commonwealth, the Mako-class corvette is a quick, well-armed and armored vessel. The vessel's small size and quickness are in stark contrast to conventional Lyran combat doctrines, emphasizing large size to maximize armor and firepower, a doctrine responsible for naval vessels like the Tharkad-class battleship. The Mako serves primarily as an escort vessel for larger fleet movements, but is equally capable as a border garrison or as a lone ship conducting independent operations.[2]
The Mako was produced at the Bolson Shipyards over New Kyoto between 2692 and 2787. During this time, more than 100 Mako-class vessels were constructed.[2] By 2765 the Lyran Commonwealth navy had twenty-seven Makos in service,[3]. However, the Lyran Commonwealth was ever the consummate trading state and also sold the ship to foreign powers, including the Terran Hegemony and the Rim Worlds Republic. As a result, Makos fought on both sides of the Amaris Civil War.[2]
Production of the Mako ceased after the Free Worlds League destroyed the Bolson Shipyards. Attrition led to the eventual destruction of every Mako in service in the Inner Sphere; the last Mako-class vessel was destroyed over Caledonia trying to repel a Kurita invasion in 2841.[2]. At least three Makos were part of General Kerensky's Exodus Fleet and ended up a part of the Clan Burrock Naval Forces. All three ships were restored from mothballs by the Bandit Caste fighters but would be destroyed during the Wars of Reaving, heralding the end of the Mako class.[4]
Armament
The Mako boasts an impressive armament for a small naval vessel, including naval autocannons, naval PPCs, and naval lasers for engaging other WarShips. The Mako also possesses lasers, Gauss rifles and autocannons for anti-aerospace fighter defense.[2]
However, the most impressive features of the Mako are its maneuverability and armor. The 200,000 ton Mako mounts nearly 200 tons of armor, and is capable of exceptionally quick 4.5 G acceleration.[2]
Cargo
The Mako is not designed for transport. The Mako possesses no DropShip collars, and has only 2 bays, capable of transporting only 2 small craft and just 980.5 tons of cargo.[2]
