The Jovian Io corvette is an escort corvette with the job of protecting friendly capital ships with its potent point-defense weaponry. Largely helpless on its own, the Io has little in the way of durability or anti-ship firepower, and only maintains a crew of about a dozen, including two officers. Its six CIWS batteries have rotary cannons which are potent anti-missile and fighter weapons at close range, while at longer ranges the light railguns and missiles are more accurate.
