==Modus operandi==
Corsair fleets are organized in nomadic groups of coteries, each composed of one or more bands. These bands often menace sectors for a short time, preferring to remain elusive and avoid drawn out battles and siege warfare. These Corsair fleets will often hide deep within a nebula or asteroid field, forgotten Eldar stations, or leftover bases from before the Fall. A standard Corsaid Corsair raid begins with a rapid deployment from Vampire Raiders, before quickly striking and withdrawing. Boarding actions against undefended or poorly defended freighters or transports is also common. Corsair Princes will often be supported by heavier units, such as [[Nightwings]] or [[Phoenix|Phoenix Bombers]] when in need. Corsair Princes are willing to sell out their fleet as mercenaries during lean times. Employment as mercenaries could be done at the behest of a rebellious planetary governor, Imperial Guard commanders, or any other renegade willing to ally with xenos.{{Fn|14a}}
