| − | ==Description==
| |
| − | Originally an unreliable [[Aerospace Fighter]] developed in the wake of the [[Amaris Civil War]], the ''Corsair'' has been improved over time to be a reliable and safe craft. Most of the [[Star League]] era production facilities were located in [[House Davion]] controlled space, and is seen mostly in [[Federated Suns]] units, although both [[House Marik]] and [[House Kurita]] fly variants.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Armament==
| + | * [[Corsair (Aerospace Fighter class)|''Corsair'' (Aerospace Fighter class)]], designed immediately after the Amaris Civil War |
| − | Geared towards short range combat, the ''Corsair'' carries a Marshall [[Medium Laser]] in each wing, with two Exostar [[Small Laser]]s and two Exostar [[Large Laser]]s filling the nose. For coverage to the stern, the remaining two Exostar [[Small Laser]]s are mounted to the rear to discourage attack from there.
| + | * [[Corsair (BattleMech)|''Corsair'' (BattleMech)]], the apocryphal 95-ton BattleMech design from the Periphery |
| | + | * [[Corsair (moniker)|''Corsair'' (moniker)]], the Periphery term referring to [[Heavy 'Mech|heavy]]- and [[Assault 'Mech|assault]]-class [[FrankenMech]]s |

| − | | |
| − | * '''CSR-V12M -''' A [[House Marik]] design, which replaces one of the [[Large Laser|Large Lasers]] with two more tons of armor and three additional heat sinks to help with the heat buildup of this energy weapon dependent craft. Also known as the ''Sand Hawk'' to [[House Kurita]] military units. BV (1.0) = 1071 BV (2.0) = 1,039
