| − | ==Description==
| + | * [[Foxfire (BattleMech)|''Foxfire'' (BattleMech)]], the 15-ton ultralight BattleMech |
| − | The [[Ultralight BattleMech|ultralight]] '''''Foxfire''''' is the brainchild of [[Karl von der Burg]], a tech with [[Defiance Industries]] who had created the design — one of the fastest [[BattleMech]]s in existence — in his spare time and presented the result to the corporate executives. The specialized design was put into production prior to the [[First Succession War]], only for the military to wonder what they should do with it and assigning it to reconnaissance units for its speed. Later, when incendiary lances were formed, almost every 'Mech or tank regiment in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] had a ''Foxfire'' [[lance]] attached to it.
| + | * [[Smith and Webley Foxfire]], the sidearm referred to simply as "Foxfire" |
| | | | |
| − | Although out of production for at least half a century as of [[3025]], several thousand ''Foxfire''s are thought to remain in service, mostly in Commonwealth space.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Weapons and Equipment==
| + | {{disambig}} |
| − | Although it carries a head-mounted [[Magna Mk I]] [[small laser]], the ''Foxfire'' was primarily designed as an ultrafast platform for its center torso–mounted [[Firestorm (Flamer)|Firestorm]] [[flamer]]. Two and a half tons of armor provides some protection.

| − | ==Variants==
| |
| − | There are no known variants of the ''Foxfire''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Canonicity==
| |
| − | The ''Foxfire'' was described in ''[[StarDrive]]'' magazine, and mentioned in passing as FXR-4R ''Foxfire'' in one issue of ''[[BattleTechnology]]''. Since neither magazine is currently counted among the [[canon|canonical]] sources for BattleTech, the 'Mech itself is not currently considered canonical either.
