History:
The most powerful Corvette or Cutter of the 23rd Century, the Whale Shark, with around 20 built for WYN use, and the other 80 in use by the Orion Space Navy, Orion Free Mercantile Association, and by various Pirate Cartels, is a potent ship, carrying more cargo and missiles than many smaller ships, and with 17 smaller modifications between the A-1 and the WYNs A-2, the largest of them being a change in Control Computer.
Noteworthy Vessels/Encounters: WDS Whale Shark; Prototype, WDS Sentry; - led a squadron of two modified K-6 Gunboats on outer patrols in the WYN Cluster for over sixty years, SS Kazma; - in use as an independent patrol and courier ship in the Triangle as late as 2385, OPC Gulpy Gulpy; - iin use by the Hamilcar Cartel until destroyed by ISC in 2297
