Overview:
    The Fox Advanced Wheeled APC was an attempt of Buda Imperial Vehicles to modernize and
    streamline the aging fleet of APCs.

Capabilities:
    The Fox weighs eight tons and uses a fusion engine, ferro fibrous armor and a small pulse
    laser. Compared to the standard wheeled APC this means it is 20% less in weight, 34% faster
    and has an ammo-less weapon, but it has only 73% of armor equivalent and less firepower
    while costing 50% more.
    The infantry compartment increased by 50% though and can carry two squads of foot infantry
    or even a squad of motorized infantry.

Deployment:
    Buda Imperial Vehicles brought out a pre-production series of 20 vehicles for testing and
    official demonstration.
    But unfortunately the DCMS-officials deemed a fusion driven small vehicle for hauling around
    small numbers of foot-sloggers as waste of effort and money.
    The 20 vehicles were mostly sold to various interested parties like mecenaries but feedback
    was too unenthusiastic to justify serial production.

Variants:
    There are no official variants but some of the sold Foxes had field modifications done.
    A notably modification was a forward observer variant that swapped the compartment for a
    Beagle Active Probe and the pulse laser for a TAG.
