−	The '''''Arctic Fox''''' is a [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[OmniMech]] reverse engineered by the [[Kell Hounds]] from the [[Clan]] ''[[Kit Fox (Uller)|Uller]]'' OmniMech with assistance in the final stages from [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]]. The resulting OmniMech is a powerful [[BattleMech#Light|light]] 'Mech that has a top speed of 97.2 km/h that is provided by a [[GM 180]] [[XL engine]], shaving off valuable weight from the ''Arctic Fox''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s base chassis while also making the 'Mech vulnerable to becoming a combat kill through the loss of one of its side torsos. The ''Arctic Fox'' has 10 [[double heat sink]]s which are generally enough to handle the 'Mech's heat load, with the ability to add more if needed. To protect itself from enemy fire, the ''Arctic Fox'' has six tons of [[Royal-7]] armor.<ref name=TRO:3060/>	+	The '''''Arctic Fox''''' is a light [[OmniMech]] reverse engineered by the [[Kell Hounds]] from the [[Clan]] ''[[Kit Fox (Uller)|Uller]]'' OmniMech with assistance in the final stages from [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]].

−	The Primary configuration of the ''Arctic Fox'' is intended to wear an enemy's armor down at long ranges and then close for the kill. To do this, the ''Arctic Fox'' carries an [[ER PPC]] that can hit a target at up to 690 meters. For close combat, two [[medium laser]]s provide the primary hitting power while two [[SRM-4]] launchers seek out weak points in an enemy's armor.<ref name=TRO:3060/>	+	The primary configuration of the ''Arctic Fox'' is intended to wear an enemy's armor down at long ranges and then close for the kill.
