The Fox Patrol was a small mercenary unit founded on Jerangle.[1]
Contents
History
The Fox Patrol formed through a merger. Boyfriends and debt-ridden mercenaries Evan Huxley and Arkee Colorado joined up with independent Jerangle-based MechWarrior and technician Katie Ferraro, placing her in charge of both the unit and its repairs. The unit went on to do a series of small jobs at tight profit margins.[1]
By May 3145, Mayor Reif Becker of the city of Gothenburg hired the Fox Patrol to protect it from night raids by the Jerangle Raiders. The Raiders used diversions, feints, and force, but on 22 May 3145, the Fox Patrol destroyed them in and around Gothenburg. This ensured that the Fox Patrol would take copious salvage, but profit margins were still dangerously tight.[1]
For three years, the unit kept working on Jerangle, building up funds until at last, in August 3148, they purchased a rundown and allegedly "hot" Confederate-class DropShip, the Fox Den. The now six-person unit moved on to Kaesong to hunt a bandit 'Mech on behalf of the magistrate of Vangelis City. Their employer refused to pay afterwards, leaving the salvaged Kodiak as their only earnings from the job, scrap to sell.[2]

Tactics
The Fox Patrol, as of 3145, had difficulties coordinating, but it had its three 'Mechs play to their strengths when possible, and it took advantage of and gained confidence from its unusually thorough maintenance.[1]
