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 nine tons of [[pod space]] for weapons, though like many OmniFighters this pod space comes at the cost of heat sinks, with only 10 [[double heat sink]]s on its base chassis.<ref name=TRO3067-138>''Technical Readout: 3067'', p. 138</ref><ref name=HBMPS-136>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 138</ref>

The primary configuration mounts a [[large pulse laser]] in the nose supported by two wing-mounted [[medium laser]]s. It provides quite a close-range punch for a light fighter, ideal for strafing runs, but lacks aft weaponry.<ref name=TRO3067-138/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : The A is a 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 laser]]s are mounted aft.

*; Alternate Configuration C : An unusual ground suppression variant, the C's sole weapon is an [[MRM-20]] sourced from the [[Draconis Combine]], supplied by two tons of missile reloads.<ref name=TRO3067-138/> BV (1.0) = 752 <ref name=TRO3067-139/> (668)<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 40</ref> BV(2.0)=732<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 240</ref>

* Alt Config B - An laser based dogfighter, B config carries twin [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s in the nose, supported by two standard medium lasers in each wing, with twin small lasers mounted aft. BV (1.0) = 1,016
  
*; Alternate Configuration R : This configuration uses Clan built weaponry in the standard Inner Sphere level frame. The nose mounts a trio of Clan built [[ER medium laser]]s, while each wing carries a Clan built [[Streak SRM-4]]. To help with targeting, the R configuration uses an advanced [[targeting computer]].

==Variants==
 
*; ''Corax'' C : This non-OmniFighter version of the ''Corax'' is used by [[Clan Snow Raven]] garrison pilots. It mounts a [[Streak LRM-15]] in the nose and an [[ER medium laser]] in each wing. Seven and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor protect the craft. A [[small cockpit]] ensures that only Clan aerospace pilots will be using the ''Corax'' C for a while.
