"Corsair" is supposedly a generic Periphery term referring to heavy and assault class FrankenMechs cobbled together out of desperation as the Succession War era dragged on, with no specific weight or base chassis.[1]
Canonicity
The use of the Corsair moniker as described above was (only) mentioned in the Hero 'Mech lore writeup for the Corsair (BattleMech), an original 'Mech design from MechWarrior Online. Computer games derives from a separate IP and are not in a position to contribute canon to the BattleTech universe. As such, this information must be regarded as apocryphal.
