Even though the Corsairs use transports for their main shipments, a smaller freighter has advantages when it comes to smuggling. Thats why the Correo was constructed, a fast and powerful freighter with an adequate cargospace. It is so capable in fact, that it is even used for piracy and raids.

The Correo is what I like to call the prince of pirate ships. The Outcasts could only imagine getting their mitts on this shocker of a ship that can make even the most pirate-hating players drool. The chassis design perfectly fits into the Corsairs style of vessel; and with four Class 4 Turrets, two class nine and two class eight gun mounts; it's bite is certainly as big as it's bark. For Corsair reference that's about four Angelito MkII Turrets, Two Tizzies and Two Angie MkIIIs.

The dealer isn't joking in the description when he says it's capable of raiding and pirating. This thing can stand up to even the Rogue Bactrian itself when it comes to raidin' for booty. Put aside its stunning features and sizable firepower the Correo does have a few complications. It's not like most freighter vessels on the market today. It's hold of 510 has same sort of size of a small freighter in any of the other Sirius houses, and because of this it does make you think as to weather the hold should be a different value. After some thought you do realize that it's probably best suited for it since the Correo is loaded with gun mounts and gadgets that you dont get on any other vessel of its size. Sadly the Correo isn't in the transport class so it lacks a Level 7 Shield Outlet and Class 7 Turrets. But it's definitely compensated with remarkable maneuverability rivaling that of the Drone or Humpback, slipping through asteroid fields like the Badlands with incredible grace. A Mine slot, Countermeasure and Cruise disruptor and a jaw dropping price tag of a mere 3 million. The bottom line is, this just may be the single best vessel that the Corsairs have ever produced in terms of practicality.
