Description/Overview:
             The Petya class was originally conceived of as the main space corvette of the ill-fated “Project Ironclad” fleet of Great War era warships designed to compete with what the UNSC saw as a growing USSN threat of “real” space cruisers. Much of this hype was generated by captured data on the Juno class of space frigate, which the USSN did not produce until the 2060s after the end of the Great War.  The Petya and its sister “Project Ironclad” ships were resurrected by UNSC Supreme Commander Edric VonStalin after he took control of the UNSC in 2071 AD.  VonStalin demanded the production of the fleet of ships to combat the EFSN armada of space warships.  VonStalin called for the three original “Project Ironclad” ships (Petya, Boikii, and Borodino class vessels) to be upgraded to incorporate the new PHELAC and deflector field systems as well as the high yield ion engine designs.  The Soviet Council was in no position to argue with VonStalin, and thus the Petya class and her sister “Ironclads” were all upgraded to meet the demands of the 1st Interplanetary War.
             The Petya class was the main corvette of the UNSC/Solar Empire throughout the 1st Interplanetary War.  Eight hundred of these ships were constructed collectively from the combined output of the Vesta, Phobos, and Deimos shipyards.  After the war, the Jupiter and Mars governments reproduced the Petya class in large quantities, but exact numbers are unknown.  Estimates put the number of Jupiter-built Petya destroyer-escorts at somewhere over 2000 during the Ceres Conflict while Mars constructed some 750 ships.
             The Jupiter Defense Forces used the craft as their primary patrol vessels and orbital defense cutters.  The JDF classified the Petya class as a “torpedo spaceboat” and used it in this capacity.
