Corsair Escort

A Corsair-class Escort

Corsair Escorts are a class of small vessel used by the Dark Eldar.

Overview

Exhibiting just as much variation as the Torture Cruisers, these escort craft have never been positively identified beyond their name. Even the name "Corsair" itself is vague, as it could reference its class, its pirate crew, or even a vessel's given name. Like their cruiser-sized counterparts, Corsair Escorts can be armed with a wide variety of weapons. All have a prow weapons battery, but many also come equipped with Phantom Lances, torpedo tubes, or even Impaler Assault Modules. Corsairs often come equipped with Mimic engines as well.^[1]
