Description[edit]

The Fennec is a medium BattleMech that was produced for the Federated Suns beginning in the early 3080s, conceived to help address the AFFS' need for lighter lance command 'Mechs. Corean Enterprises used components from the Legionnaire to help put the design into production at its plant on Augusta. Republic of the Sphere intelligence reports suggested that early prototypes of the Fennec were deployed in 3080 by the Davion Assault Guard in a conflict with the Taurian Concordat.[1]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The Fennec is built on a Corean Model AG47 endo steel chassis, clad in nine and a half tons of Kallon Unity Weave ferro-fibrous armor to protect the 'Mech's advanced systems and VOX 330 XL engine. MechWarriors piloting the 'Mech must be mindful of the significant heat produced by its weapons and engine, as the design has only 10 double heat sinks. One of the primary features of the 'Mech, a C3 master computer allows it to coordinate with other C3 lancemates. [1]

The 'Mech's long range weaponry consists of a pair of arm-mounted Magna Hellstar PPCs, which are backed up by a pair of Sutel Precision Line medium pulse lasers for close combat.[1]
