	Following the success of the MRF-9 Carabinier in Laveskan service during the Imperial Reclamation, the regional government of Laveska, then still not fully integrated into the United Imperial Federation, sought to replace its aging Lancer and Arquebusier interceptor and attacker platforms with a single-engine multirole design. Initial requirements also included the ability to operate from the carrier ''Fort Grace'' either by catapult and arrestor capability or through vertical takeoff and landing. Preliminary studies were initiated by several design bureaus in mid 2149.

The news greatly alarmed Imperial leadership, and almost immediately requests for a new single engine multirole were issued to all major R&D departments in the country. Laveskan design bureaus, having already started preliminary design work for such an aircraft, were able to present finalized proposals by mid 2150. DAI's reference design was chosen, with Cyten-Ward's Laveskan aircraft factory located in Perpetua chosen as the production line. The prototype aircraft was designated XF-42 and given the name "Corsair", a nod to its carrier capability, with its first flight taking place in late 2152. Serial production began a year later, and the Naval Aviation introduced its first F-42 squadron in 2156, with the Air Force following the next year.
