"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[edit]
It is somewhat unclear if the moniker is canonical, as it was (only) mentioned in the context of, and specifically referring to, the Corsair (BattleMech) which itself is explicitly apocryphal; however, the lore write-ups for Hero 'Mechs were ruled as canonical, even when the individual 'Mech configurations were not. In the case of the Lore for the Corsair that established the moniker, these two rulings seem to be in direct conflict.
