================================================================================================
Overview:
    In 3067 Coventry Metal Works got the order to design a competitor to the standard Locust. It
    had to be faster, had to carry roughly the same firepower but had to be 25% lighter too.
    The designers soon find out that a standard engine would leave too little weight to
    incorporate some acceptable armor and so they went with a light engine.
    The Mech was named "Fuchs" (Alliance's native Deutsch for "Fox") which
    triggered some critical comments from strong anti-Davionists as it was the nickname of Hanse
    Davion.

Capabilities:
    The Fuchs is tipping the scales at a mere 15 tons and has a light speed advantage over an
    old Locust. An ER medium laser gives it some more range as do the new LMG, that in return
    have some less firepower but the designers thought it would be worth it as this very light
    Mechs can maintain some distance when firing them.
    The armor had to be reduced by 15% despite carrying ferro fibrous plates.

Deployment:
    The first prototype is performing its first test runs on Coventry but so far the LAAF hasn't
    given their Ok for full production.

Variants:
    There are thoughts about some variants but no are being produced yet.
    The -1X2 replaces the LMG's with two RL-10 and adds an ER small laser in place of the ammo.
    The -1X3 drops all weapons for two arm mounted ER small lasers and a torso mounted ECM
    (-1X3A) or active probe (-1X3B).
