Overview:
In 3067, after 17 years of battle with the Inner Sphere, Clan Jade Falcon released a
replacement of the ageing Kit Fox in the form of the Ice Fox. Rather then a full blown
replacement the Ice Fox is more of an upgrade on an already good design. By increasing the
mass five tons, Falcon designers were able to increase the mechs speed by twenty-four kph
and the armor by a full ton which increases survivability while keeping the same weapons
load out. Very few changes were made to the original chassis with only a hand full of
external signs of any difference like slightly bulkier sections of armor.
Capabilities:
In its primary configuration, the Ice Fox combines four of the Clans' most advanced weapons.
Its main firepower comes from the LB 5-X autocannon in its right arm and the
extended-range large laser in its left. A small pulse laser and Streak SRM 4 add to the
Ice Fox's punch at close range. This design keeps heat buildup in check, economizes on
missile loads to avoid running out of ammunition, and provides sting at varying ranges.
Alternate Configuration A, like the Uller A, carries a powerful and bulky Gauss
rifle. This weapon can cripple an opposing light 'Mech with a single shot. Though this
configuration also contains two extended-range medium lasers, it lacks the versatility of
the primary configuration and so appears far less often on the battlefield.
Alternate Configuration B is similar in appearance and performance to the primary
configuration, but with a few significant differences. It carries an SRM-6 in place of the
Streak SRM-4, a larger autocannon, and two extended-range lasers.
Configuration C is a specialized machine, designed for densely populated areas.
Its sophisticated electronics allow it to spot a hidden enemy, call in devastating missile
artillery, and jam enemy tracking computers all at the same time. Its double machine guns
and double A-pods are effective against enemy infantry who get too close, and its
exceptional triple anti-missile system can swat down incoming missiles from several enemy
'Mechs simultaneously. This version of the Ice Fox carries only two offensive weapons: an
extended-range large laser and a small pulse laser.
The Ice Fox sometimes acts as long-range fire support in Alternate Configuration D.
Sporting three long-range missile launchers and a Narc missile beacon for enhanced
accuracy, the Ice Fox can lend its Starmates some sting from afar. The obvious drawbacks
to this design are its reliance on limited ammunition and its inability to deal with an
enemy at close range.
Deployment:
Soon to be the primary light 'Mech of the Jade Falcons, the Ice Fox will become a familiar
sight. Because some other light 'Mechs are quicker the Ice Fox will see less
reconnaissance duty than some other models. It is also unseen among the other Clans, who
have yet to attain any copies.

Comment:
Better armored than Kit Fox A, but it still may suffer from something like Hollander syndrome. The Gauss rifle is relatively safe in mech's arm, but it isn't that hard to receive 10+ damage early in battle these days, especially against clans, so this mech should try to stay back a little if it doesn't want to risk being disarmed (at least it won't die from XL damage or a lack of weapons like the Hollander). It's a dangerous mech, but not without (minor) flaws.
