The '''Cardinal''' was one of the most successful vehicles [[Clan Sea Fox]] manufactured in the thirty-second century. Produced from the Sea Fox plants on [[Twycross]] and [[Itabaiana]] and introduced to service in [[3112]], the Cardinal was designed to be a low-maintenance assault transport for infantry, and while the Cardinal's dual-rotor arrangement was originally subject to some faults, the Sea Foxes had decades in which to redesign and reengineer as needed, resulting in the Cardinal having one of the lowest maintenance costs for its engine and rotor systems.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp18+"/>

Made from high quality components and Clan-manufactured weaponry, the Cardinal carries either two [[Point]]s of [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elementals]] or three [[squad]]s of [[Inner Sphere]] [[battle armor]] in the ten-ton [[Infantry Compartment]]. The Cardinal was so successful that most ended up being produced for [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and the Sea Foxes. Despite the prodigious size of the Cardinal - at least in VTOL terms - the lightweight fusion engine provides enough power for the dual rotors to propel the Cardinal at speeds approaching 130 km/h. Five tons of [[ferro-fibrous armor]] protects the Cardinal as it ventures into heavy combat zones, and the array of weaponry mounted onto the front of the Cardinal meant that it often provides fire support to the troops it transports.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp18+"/>
