Overview:
       Named for a Sahara III predator revered for its deadly efficiency, the Desert Fox is an older design.  By sacrificing the usual 100+ kph speed of most equivalent sized Storm Phoenix designs, the Fox acheives superior accuracy and firepower.

Capabilities:
        The Desert Fox carries 8 extended-range medium lasers, wired to a targeting computer for a devestating laser barrage.  The damage done by this heavy weaponry array is exceptional for such a light Mech, and the design's heat efficiency is surprisingly good.  Thick armor helps the Fox stay fighting for a long time.  Not as fast as some Mechs of its weight class, without support a Desert Fox charging Mechs with long range capabilities will be ripped apart before it can bring its arsenal to bear on its target.

Deployment:
       Desert Foxes are found mostly in the Sahara III Striker Regiment, with a few scattered through Storm Phoenix front-line combat units.
