Besides the Cobalt Alloy Class, the Shriken Class and Stilat Class Light Corvettes were also completely withdrawn from service, along with the Pulsar-class frigates. Due to design flaws, the Pulsar-class frigate was a slow medium-range fire-support vessel. After retirement, it was not even worth assigning to escort fleets, so they were all dumped onto the black market for sale.
However, the reasons for retiring the Shriken Class and Stilat Class Light Corvettes were somewhat different. These two types of light corvettes were retired because they could no longer find suitable opponents.

But now, with large numbers of new fighters entering service, Dawn Territory's fighter formations had gained the strength to confront Galactic Republic fighter formations head-on. There was therefore no need for these two types of light corvettes to remain in service. Among light corvettes in the thirty-meter range, Valkyrie missile frigates were far more lethal against fighters.
Dawn Territory's fighter force still revolved around the Wraith fighter. However, after continuous upgrades, the Wraith fighter had undergone a complete transformation. Its avionics, fire-control systems, weapons systems, energy transmission systems, engines, shield systems, and stealth systems had all been replaced with the most advanced equipment. Its combat capability was worlds apart from the original model.

Although the Republic had also been continuously improving its Anti-Stealth measures, the enemy might rise a foot, but the counter would rise ten. The initiative always remained with the Wraith fighter.
In actual aerial combat, the
