==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==
 
 
 
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.
