The Corsair-class is the most commonly found warship amongst the Tribal fleets. Small, cheap, and easy to maintain, they are easily accessible to even the smallest and weakest Tribes.
The Corsair is a fast attack ship, combining a fast acceleration of 13.5 G’s with batteries of deadly cannons. It packs ten 475mm dual turrets and eight 700mm triple guns. It is deadly against enemy fleets, outmaneuvering enemy ships to stay out of their targets’ firing arcs and pour punishing volleys into their vulnerable points.
At 785 meters in length, the Corsair is a small vessel, lightly armored to save mass and give it its quick acceleration. It is armed with 12 shrapnel cannons and 20 60mm autocannons for point defense against enemy missiles and fighter craft. It lacks the survivability of larger ta’keshi warships, its thinner armor helping to cut weight and help acceleration.
Used for lightning attacks against lightly fortified worlds and as escorts in large-scale battles, the Corsair is a widely popular and capable ship. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness more than make up for its fragility, and it has proven a deadly craft in many engagements.
