The Callisto-class is a small escort corvette specifically designed as an auxiliary class for larger capital ships. The ship design has retractable nacelles allowing it to reduce in size and fit into a docking port on a capital ship.
History
Multiple ships of the class have been built over the years, however nearly every one has met an untimely end. Determined to be a weakness in the design, as it does not stand up to attack very well, and has limited armaments to defend itself, a more advanced, and battle ready variant was designed, the Ursa Major-class.
