The Corsair Attack Class Medium Fighter marks Starfleet's first successful attempt at creating a fighter . Designed by Whitestone Enterprises, the Corsair Class is modeled in part on the effective Spectre Light Fighter design by utilizing the experimental 'Soliton Wave' propulsion system, as well as the navigational and lateral sensor arrays.

The fighter is equipped with 2 Type V Phaser Arrays and 2 Rapid Fire Quantum Torpedo Tubes, carrying a maximum 100 13cm Micro-Torpedoes. Mounted at the front of the fighter is a Type IX Pulse Phaser Turret. Although its armament is similar to that of the Spectre Class, the true danger of this Fighter comes from its advanced stealth & evasion technology.

A complex series of external holographic projectors have been incorporated directly into the hull of the Corsair Class, which confer a chameleon-like ability to adjust hull reflectivity and emissivity. This gives a fair imitation of cloaking without the massive power consumption that usually reserves such cloaking devices for larger capital ships. Not only does it make the Corsair extremely difficult to detect with even the most advanced of ship-based sensor equipment, it makes a positive weapons lock-on even more difficult.

Powered by a large fusion generator mounted at the aft of the Fighter, the Holo-Stealth works by creating a holo matrix around the fighter which can take the form of anything from a small shuttle, to as large as a Klingon Bird of Prey - however the larger the holomatrix the shorter the time it can be maintained. Although unable to fire while its stealth is engaged, by the time their stealth is disengaged and their cover revealed, the last of their pulse phaser blasts will be tearing through their enemies hull with deadly efficiency.
