Description
The Corsair, named after a WWII fighter plane, is the current mainstay of the Alliance Navy's fighter and interceptor wings. Fast, agile, it can assume either role with ease both in space and in atmosphere. Though it looks fragile, the construction is sturdy to handle the tough maneuvers needed in combat. And the design makes maintenance costs lower by allowing engineers easy access to systems and components. Until the deployment of the SF-102 Spearhead Interceptor, the Corsair assumed the roles of both fighter, interceptor, and bomber.

The Corsair may be aged but it's benefits outweigh the costs of fielding them or replacing them. It continues to serve in the Alliance's Navy and Marine Corps air wings to this day. It first saw combat in the First Contact War and has been seen in many combat situations during its operational history.
