The 440tn Corsair is an armed ship, most commonly used by pirates or privateers to raid merchant spacecraft. The construction of this vessel was not intended for piracy, however, for its size, speed, and extensive cargo hold, it has become the favored ship by pirates. Merchants, belters, hunters, privateers, and anyone who can afford to purchase such a craft also use it. It is also used by private systems as pleasure craft, and even small companies for moving freight.

A variation on a theme classifies the Corsair. She can be modified easily, converting the cargo hold to suit the needs and wants of its captain. All cargo, all staterooms, a hunters supply house, gambling casino with extra staterooms. Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets.
