The Mugato-class corvette was a type of starship active in Starfleet service during the late 23rd century. The ships were first introduced in 2284. (Orion Press: In Harm's Way, Chekov's Enterprise)
- The Juliet-class corvettes occupy the same NCC registry numbers and may be an alternate universe counterpart of these ships.
The Mugato-class ships resembled Miranda-class light cruisers, except that the primary hull was more triangular in shape, trimming out the science research facilities and excess power generation of the larger design. Corvettes of this class had a "rollbar" above the primary hull, similar to that of Miranda-class light cruisers with mounting points for up to five configurable pods. Depending on mission requirements, this rollbar held sensor emplacements or photon torpedo bays. The Mugato-class ships followed a naming convention which focused on dangerously venomous animals (ex: Fer-de-lance, Black Widow). During the Kelvan war, these ships were often painted in paint schemes to reflect their namesakes. They were returned to Starfleet regulation paint soon after cessation of hostilities.
