Hydora-Class Corvette

The Hydora-class Corvette is a RBU-made warship hull around 130-140 studs in length depending on variant. It is usually fitted with four spinal mortar barrels and a ball turret, as well as two quad-linked broadside blasters. It was named after the summer 2020 war against the UWF in the islands of Hydora, as well as the civil war fighting at the creatively named RBU Outpost Hydora.

It was originally designed as part of an effort to modernize the RBU fleet by Screech9791 and EclipseMaster10, and its advanced flight system allowed it to fly over or below enemy ships, granting an unbelievable advantage against the slower OCE warships built around ITAAC control systems, but this came at the cost of requiring hours of training and practice to effectively fly the ship, restricting newer pilots to strike craft.

Its first combat use was in a skirmish against an OCE task force of two destroyers, eight fighters, and two bombers. It easily destroyed the slower and less advanced cruisers with its mortars and slow laser turret, and its armor allowed it to survive fighter attacks for about 10 seconds. This was the only time a ship was ever destroyed using ball turrets, due to the inconsistent controls making it near impossible to hit anything with a cross section smaller than one of the islands at Hydora.

Flint-class Corvette
The Flint-class Corvette was a modified Hydora-class used by the Green Skittle Empire to fight RBU fleets. It had a shorter prow to reduce mass, and it was made out of iridium and slate. Its weapons were replaced with iridium spike cannons, and one example of the class piloted by Screech9791 killed two RBU frigates in a space battle after a short chase.

Hydora MK
A damaged Hydora that was ran through an autoforge sideways, and "repaired" by overenthusiastic pirates. It somehow found its way into RBU fleets as well as some freelancers. Functionally identical to the regular Hydora, except the hull is rotated 90 degrees, an extra room has added where the engines used to be, the control room is now on the second floor, and two Annihilator Rocket Launchers were added.
