Denied access to the cheap and effective hovercraft as relations worsened with the [[Lyran Alliance]] prior to the [[FedCom Civil War]], the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] commissioned [[Valiant Systems]] to develop a homegrown replication. Unfortunately additional requests to improve its armor coverage, speed and weaponry delayed development of a prototype until after the FedCom Civil War had concluded, when the AFFS was allowed to purchase the Savannah Master once more. The heavy matériel losses suffered in the [[Jihad]] finally gave Valiant the opportunity to release the Fox in [[3085]], manufacturing it from [[Johnsondale]] for the AFFS and for the [[RAF]] from a subsidized factory on [[Achernar]].<ref name="TRO:3085p14+"/>

The Fox Armored Car was easily superior to the Savannah Master, but at the cost of the increased fragility and much heftier price tag. Built around a Nissan 195 [[XL fusion engine]], the Fox was capable of reaching up to 226 km/h, while its five and half tons of armor are better than average for its weight.<ref name="TRO:3085p14+"/>
