Venture-class Target Identification

History

The Venture was a Terran Confederation corvette. It was included in Joan's Fighting Spacecraft Vega Sector Supplement for 2654.092.

The Venture-class Corvettes entered service with the Confederation Space Navy long before the onset of the Terran-Kilrathi War. They served a large variety of roles, including system patrol, reconnaissance, capital ship escort, and even as a VIP transport. Corvettes are often configured with special cabins for this final role. Those corvettes that serve on border patrols near the edge of Terran star systems can be configured to last two or three years without the need to return to base for resupply. Ventures were among the smallest warships in the Terran fleet, but they served their purpose well and have become a trademark of the Terran Confederation's arsenal.

The Venture typically carried a crew of nine men. These included the Captain, First/Helm Officer, Sentry, Astrogator, Damage Control Officer, three gunners, and a mechanic. The ship can hold a limited number of passengers when fitted for VIP duty. The corvette's similarities to Terran bomber craft is what causes them to be administered by the Space Forces as opposed to Naval Officers.

Ventures are armed with three laser cannons and two missile launchers.

The Venture has seen action in the Vega Sector, the Enigma Sector, the Battle of Vukar Tag, the Raid on Kilrah, among many other fleet actions. One such vessel the TCS Marciano, was one of the first ships to respond to the attack on Goddard in 2654.
