==Overview:==
Corean Enterprises wanted to break into new markets in the world of military
grade battlemechs. They knew that if their entry was not up to par it would be
blow that could destroy the company.

So began the Foawr project. This was a mixing of tried and true technologies
with some of the more cutting edge items that have come to life around the
Inner Sphere. Cost was a major issue for the company. Again going with the
theory that if they had a lower base cost for the mech; then the military
would be more likely to want it. Flashy and eye grabbing items were also
needed, and when the fury of design ideas finially stopped, they had picked
several easy to obtain items and the Foawr birth began.

==Capabilities:==
Built on a chassis of endosteel and protected by  four tons of ferro armor,
moving at impressive 151 km/h provided by the 180 rated extra light engine,
the Foawr has decent fire power comprising of three extented range medium
lasers and two short ranged missile systems. The mech was well on its' way to
being a sure win for the company.

During the trial phase for the Foawr things were looking up, all the tested
showed that it could handle most light and medium mechs and was well expected
by the security forces that Corean used to protect its' plants.

House Marik and the FW Military Procurment Board took interest, they order a
small production run of 25 machines for their own testing. Again things went
well in testing. After three months of tests, the FW Military Procurment Board
bought another order of 100 machines, with a secondary order 200 to be
delieveryed over the next three years.

==Battle History:==
First seeing action in Operation Geronimo, the Foawr preformed well, but then
a few small issues became noticed, the ferro armor used had major flaws. If it
was hit by something other lasers or expolosives; it had a tendancy to fall
off in large chuncks. Also some of the electronics would short out after being
hit by particle cannon fire or when ECM units came with in range.

The mech continued to see front line combat and gain prasie for its' speed and
firepower, as well as its' excellent use as a raider for the fast hit and run
fights. The short falls of the mech are under investigation and there is rumor
that a new and better version is due soon.
