	The bottom line: Corvettes were really developed by SpaceX as in-system corporate transports, until somebody said the equivalent of, "Hey, we can put a Hellcat motor in that," and the Space Force corvette was born. They are the only interstellars produced by SpaceX.		The bottom line: Corvettes were really developed by SpaceX as in-system corporate transports, until somebody said the equivalent of, "Hey, we can put a Hellcat motor in that," and the Space Force corvette was born. They are the only interstellars produced by SpaceX.

			The first model Space Force corvettes were designated with hull numbers prefixed with PGS. Approximately fifteen were built and commissioned. An updated/upgraded model followed, with hull number prefix CVT. The latter are still being built, but there are about 75 of them in service by the end of the 22nd Century. Still limited to Warp 4, for the same reasons, but otherwise they use the same hull design and more or less the same interior layout.

	Known examples:		Known examples:

	USSF ''Pendleton'', CVT-2		USSF ''Pendleton'', CVT-2

			USSF ''Surprise'', PGS-2 (mentioned in ''Found On Road Alive'').

			Other early PGS corvettes would be ''Temptress, Spry, Saucy, Restless, Ready, Impulse, Fury, Courage,'' and ''Tenacity''. Named after the [[wikipedia:American_Flower-class_corvette\|American ''Temptress'' class]] of WWII, which were actually recommissioned British ''Flower''-class corvettes. The PG(S) hull prefix refers to the US designation Patrol Gunboat (and PGS would be "Patrol Gunboat-Space)" used after the WWII recommissionings.
