Description
The Fox is a early Clan Medium BattleMech, which originally created as Clan Sea Fox first BattleMech.[3] The design is strongly pattered after the early Star League Era Crusader BattleMech, with the design's focus of its firepower of long-range and majority its weapons found arms and some in the legs. There is not alot of operational history about the itself Mech, however it's best known use was during the Ghost Bears's 2921 Trials to claim the Tokasha MechWorks Alpha factory from the Clan Hell's Horses.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
The Fox was designed using mix of older Star League Technology and some early Clan weaponry. While a Medium size design, the Fox is a fairly fast Medium, being powered by Extra-Light Fusion engine propelling it up to 94 kph at a run. This weight savings it's engine and support from its endosteel skeleton, allows for sizable amount of weaponry to be mounted, most found in the Mech's arm actuators.
While considered to be generalist of a design, the main fire power is strictly focus long ranges, pair of experimental Improved Long-Range Missile Launchers, one mounted in each arm. While in intermediate and short ranges, the Mech depends on it's trio of Medium Lasers found arms and center torso and pair Star League Two-Tube Streak Short Range Missile Launchers found in the legs like it's likely Crusader ancestor. The Fox was also intended to deal with infantry with significant firepower. This coming from four Machine Guns split in pairs Machine Guns mounted in each of it's arms, making the Mech a threat to be feared by conventional troops used in Clan combat.
Most of the Mech's ammunition for the Machine guns and each of the long-range launcher's 4 tons of ammo is feeding from it's each of its side torsos, while a single ton of the older Streaks ammo is found nestled in lower part of the Center Torso.[5]
