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 Lasers and two Exostar Large Lasers filling the nose. For coverage to the stern, the remaining two Exostar Small Lasers are mounted to the rear to discourage attack from there.
Variants
- CSR-V12B - Almost identical to the V14 variant, this version removes the standard weaponry and replaces it with two nose mounted ER Large Lasers, a nose mounted Medium Laser, and a Medium Pulse Laser in each wing. It also mounts fifteen double heat sinks. BV (2.0) = 1,388[2]
- CSR-V12M - A House Marik design, which replaces one of the 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) = 1,039[3] BV (2.0) = 1,039
- CSR-V14 - The V14 was introduced during the early 3050s, which was consisted refit of the company's design for the Corsair. The craft's Large Lasers are exchanged for Extended-Range Large Lasers. Also as part re-design, its heatsinks were upgraded to double capacity. The came in form a refit kit for House Davion Corsairs and had completely replaced all vintage Corsairs by start of the FedCom Civil War.[4] BV (1.0) = 1,259[5], BV (2.0) = 1,330
- CSR-V18 - This is a variant introduced during the early portion of the Jihad. The V18 is upgrade of the V14 design. The variant in addition to the fighter's ER Large Lasers, the craft has been given a pair of Light PPCs. Its forward mounted Small Lasers are removed, while its rear facing ones are upgraded to Extended Range Small Lasers. The craft's armor has been exchanged for Heavy Ferro-Aluminum. While its total amount double heatsinks is now at seventeen. BV (1.0) = 1,127[6], BV (2.0) = 1,127
- CSR-V20 - This is House Davion variant introduced during the Succession Wars. This replaces the Medium Lasers and Small Lasers with an SRM-6 system and ammo. It is typically seen in the Davions' Avalon Hussars 42nd Regiment. BV (1.0) = 986[7], BV (2.0) = 1,112
