Description
The Tiburon is a name that hearkens back to when Clan Sea Fox was known as Clan Diamond Shark. The Tiburon is named after a large Terran shark found in the Caribbean. The design was created as the Clan transformed itself from a decimated-yet-centralized military force to a nomadic, space-faring society of warrior-merchants. The Tiburon is just as lethal as its namesake. Unlike most other 'Mechs built by the Sea Foxes, the Tiburon is not for sale and is used exclusively by its own warriors. The Tiburon is distinguished by its retractable and shielded weaponry, which is deploye when the Tiburon engages its target, giving him a non agressive and surprising appearance.
Armament
Fast and well-armed for its weight, the Tiburon can be used in scout and attack formations alike.
