The '''''Fennec''''' is a medium [[BattleMech]] that was produced for the [[Federated Suns]] beginning in the early 3080s, conceived to help address the [[AFFS]]' need for lighter lance command 'Mechs. Corean Enterprises used components from the ''[[Legionnaire]]'' to help put the design into production at its plant on [[Augusta]]. [[Republic of the Sphere]] intelligence reports suggested that early prototypes of the ''Fennec'' were deployed in [[3080]] by the [[Davion Assault Guard]] in a conflict with the [[Taurian Concordat]].<ref name="TRO:3085Sp28+"/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==
The ''Fennec'' is built on a [[Corean Model AG47]] [[endo steel]] chassis, clad in nine and a half tons of [[Kallon Unity Weave]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor to protect the 'Mech's advanced systems and [[VOX 330]] [[XL engine]]. [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] piloting the 'Mech must be mindful of the significant heat produced by its weapons and engine, as the design has only 10 [[double heat sinks]]. One of the primary features of the 'Mech, a [[C3 master computer]] allows it to coordinate with other C3 lancemates. <ref name="TRO:3085Sp28+"/>

The 'Mech's long range weaponry consists of a pair of arm-mounted [[Magna Hellstar]] [[PPC]]s, which are backed up by a pair of [[Sutel Precision Line (MPL)|Sutel Precision Line]] [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s for close combat.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp28+"/>

*; FEC-5CM : This ''Fennec'' [[Introduction Year::3133]]<ref name="MUL3"/> variant uses an [[XXL engine]] and [[endo-composite]] skeleton to save weight. The standard [[C3 master computer]] has been replaced with a [[C3 boosted master]] computer, and it is armed with a [[large re-engineered laser]] and a Clan-spec [[ER medium laser]] in each arm. A Clan-built [[light active probe]] allows the 'Mech to identify hidden enemies, and heat management is handled by 11 [[double heat sink]]s tied into a [[Radical Heat Sink System]].
