The corsair gunship is the standard Charon ship that appears early game. As long as you know how to shoot, it will go down without much of a fight. Only deadly during swarms. Note: The Corsair II looks the same and is much more dangerous to ships with low-level equipment, though not as common.

With weak armor and weapons, these are easy to kill by themselves. However, against low-level shields and armor, a swarm of these can do some damage if not killed quickly. Fortunately, they're very easy to kill quickly.
