Description

Baffling the Inner Sphere powers as to how a mere Periphery state could develop an OmniFighter when it first appeared, the Corax is the Outworlds Alliance's first OmniFighter design, named in honor of their bond of friendship with Clan Snow Raven, whose technical expertise made it possible.

While mounting standard armor, the use of an XL Engine frees up 9 tons of pod space for weapons, though like many OmniFighters pod space comes at the cost of heat sinks, with only ten Double Heat Sinks on its base chassis.

Armament

The primary configuration mounts a Large Pulse Laser in the nose supported by two wing-mounted Medium Lasers. It provides quite a close-range punch for a light fighter, ideal for strafing runs, but lacks aft weaponry.

Alternate Configurations

• Alt Config A - The A configuration is an short ranged ammo dependent dogfighter, mounting an SRM-6 in each wing with a total of two tons of reloads. To prevent attack from behind, two Small Lasers are mounted aft. BV (1.0) = 749

• Alt Config B - An laser based dogfighter, B config carries twin Medium Pulse Lasers in the nose, supported by two standard medium lasers in each wing, with twin small lasers mounted aft. BV (1.0) = 1,016

• Alt Config c - An unusual ground suppression variant, the B config sole weapon is a MRM-20 sourced from the Draconis Combine, supplied by two tons of missile reloads. BV (1.0) = 752
