Design and Layout
Like all Raven-class corvettes, the USS Mogrus is based on the older civilian Aerie-class light surveyor design. The Aerie-class design provided the perfect layout for a wide range of mission types, as well as more comfort than could be available on smaller vessels. With modern technological advancements and a substantial interior redesign, the Raven-class took this already functional platform even farther. With space enough for long-term habitation, defensive and medical facilities to handle most basic emergencies, and the capabilities to field a wide range of scientific and diplomatic mission types, the Raven filled a logical niche in the Starfleet repertoire.
With a standard crew compliment, the Raven-class can handle month-long missions away from their base, but the USS Mogrus operates with a fractional crew at the request of its commanding officer, Allan Alia-Ledgard. His reports highlight the reduced operational costs of a smaller crew, the extended mission times available because of his small crew size (up to three months, with limited in situ resupply), and the adaptability a smaller crew provides for refugee missions and personnel transportation.
Laboratories
These labs are well-suited to handling light to medium intensity scientific inquiries, and have a wide range of automated analysis equipment for missions that don't embark a full science department. These labs are primarily geared toward data and sample collection, rather than independent research, although they could be upgraded and re-specialized in-port for long-term research missions.
Engineering
The USS Mogrus features the Raven-classes simplified hull design, including a network of Jefferies' tubes that allows for extremely easy access to all maintenance areas. On the original Aerie design, where these tubes were intended for light repair work, many of the crucial systems had limited access points for internal maintenance crews. The Raven-class improved upon this by tripling the number of access crawl ways to the external hull, but also to sub-deck junctions. This allows for easy repair to important ships' functions even when other means of access become closed.
Shuttlepod
Like other Raven-class ships, the USS Mogrus has space for a single shuttlepod in the tiny aft shuttlebay. Different mission profiles require the shuttlepod model to alternated, but Allan Alia-Ledgard prefers to host a Type-18 Shuttlepod unless otherwise required. The Type-18 Shuttlepod was originally developed for use alongside the Defiant and Saber class starships, and its hardened defensive functions, maneuverability, and sturdy warp capability make it the obvious choice for a multi-mission corvette.
