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, which recent refits have increased.
Capabilities:
The original Desert Fox carries 8 extended-range medium lasers, wired to
a targeting computer for a devestating laser barrage. With the aquisition
of the new heavy lasers, many Desert Foxes are being refitted to carry
a trio of heavy medium lasers in each arm instead, although the Mech is
still produced with the ER laser configuration. Either way, the damage
done by the Desert Fox 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 (especially the new design) will often
be ripped apart at long range 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.
