The first corvette in ARD design was the Chapel-class. This corvette had a good balance between pirate killing weaponry, armor, and mobility. The red advanced armor clad ship can take significant damage from the average pirate. It boasted a large swarm of smart missiles and two chaingun systems. Tts weaknesses were its forward observation deck and its "bridge". If a missile were to penetrate the relatively weak bridge canopy, the Chapel would be unarmed. Like many small Altonavin ships, the Chapel-class Corvette does not have any shielding.
