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.[5][6]
Weapons and Equipment
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.[5]
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 Lasers are mounted aft. BV (1.0) = 749[5] (689)[7] BV(2.0)=734[8]
- Alternate Configuration B
- A laser-based dogfighter, the B carries twin Medium Pulse Lasers in the nose, supported by two standard medium lasers in each wing, with twin small lasers mounted aft.[5] BV (1.0) = 1,016 [2][9] BV(2.0)=1,054[10]
- 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 lasers, while each wing carries a Clan built Streak SRM-4. To help with targeting, the R configuration uses an advanced Targeting Computer. BV(2.0)=1,667[14]
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. BV (2.0) = 1,233[15][16]
