Veteran Comments

The GTCv Deimos was a Terran corvette in Freespace 2. They are faster and more maneuverable than GTD Hecate and GTD Orion class destroyers. They are powered by Vasudan designed reactors.

Their armour is made from collapsed-core molybdenum, which gives protection against beam fire, which gives it 80% of the hull strength of the much larger Orion and Hecate destroyers.

Deimos corvettes have excellent anti-fighter and bomber coverage, and four large anti-capital ship beams. Its anti-capital ship firepower is close to that of a Hecate, and it's anti-fighter coverage far outstrips an Orion's.

Two Deimos class corvettes (The GTCv Actium and the GTCv Lysander), along with 2 wings of fighters, were the first GTVA vessels to officially come into contact with a Ravana class vessel, designated SD Ravana. One of the corvettes was destroyed. -- Kietotheworld

Realistically, while the Deimos is nice, its four heavy beams are the inaccurate slashing type which makes the statement that it's as powerful as a destroyer kinda... debatable. It's probably accurate to say though, that it's anti-ship capabilities are better than the other corvettes. Its anti-figher defenses are formidable if approached without caution, but entirely useless if one approaches from the correct angle.-- M
