What about an MCRN Corvette class Frigate?

Why is a Frigate name a Corvette? Welp... the reason given is that while being a frigate in size it was designed to do a corvette role. This has been your fun fact of The Expanse lore for today.

Clearly not corvettes as these are all rear  engined.

I do love me some Spacedock. It is incredibly cool that he was allowed to come up with a lot of the canon lore for the expanse ships.

That is pretty egregious. I think I remember seeing that thing I'm an gaming mag advertisement years ago. It's a very 90s sci-fi ship design.
