火旋风 Class Artillery Corvette
The ship follows HFR doctrine of small, specialized ships meant to be used in a much greater fleet composition. In this case, the Huo Xuan Feng is capable of threatening capital ships with its capital grade railgun but has poor armor and minimal self-defense capabilities, relying on other vessels to cover its weaknesses. It also has high mobility, commonly traveling at 1.5 or 2 g thanks to its augmented crew that can withstand such forces.
