Description

The Corvid is a powerful Destroyer with good firepower and health. The Corvid boasts 5 Light Railguns and 1 Light Gatling Laser on the belly of the ship, and 1 Light Railgun on the left side and 1 Light Gatling Laser on the right. It has great speed and moderate health, making this a great starting warship for new players.
