Contents
Markings
White with black highlights. Stylized winged silver fox overlaying the moon.
Layout
Two-and-half decks
Upper deck
The Cockpit is located at the extreme forward of the ship. It's a blend of brass, wood, and ultra-modern with holograms. It's adjoining room acts as the main meeting room/holo table plotting room. The ship's main living space is located just beyond the ladder to reach the Half-deck above. What would have been the troop deck on canon Tau Manta dropship. It's been completely redesigned for the bunkage of quite a few people. While retaining almost a RV feel with a small workshop. A airlock system is located at the extreme stern where a upper ramp/door system would have been on the canon ship design.
Half-deck
The space on a canon Tau Manta where the 'command deck' would have been, it's been completely given over to a upper airlock system. Allowing the Lunar Fox to dock to other ships/stations with it's 'roof'.
Lower Deck
Only internal part of the ship to retain it's original function has a vehicle deck. With slight modifications to allow shipping containers and other a sorted cargo to be stored. The whole deck while accessible from the upper one is a giant airlock system. The whole floor can be lowered to allow on and off loading without the whole ship landing. Via the stern ramp system.
Weapons
Internal Wing mounts
Single 75mm Gauss Rifle mounted in one of the internal wing brackets.
External Racks
Cargo Winch and Cargo Only
Wing turret mounts
12x 10mm pop up point defense
Nose mounts
4x detachable Tau style sensor drones
Auxillary Vehicles
Tau Devilfish Troop Carrier - White with black trim - Unarmed[1]
M12 LRV Warthog - Standard Halo UNMC green paint scheme - Unarmed[2]
History
The Lunar Fox was a project started early 2018 by Dakota While it started as a "secret" build others where quickly pulled into it as he called in favors to figure out different engineering challenges. Also the first construction project to include the use of Tau Builder drones based off Tau drones build by Dakota.
Class Quirks
Swoosh! - The Lunar Fox's doors was designed with help from some Trekkie friends of his.
Always on Holiday - Oddly the ship doesn't seem to like being crewed by people in uniform.
Arrr! - Helm only responds if the pilot is wearing a pirate bandana.
The Ethereal Ghost - People swear they see a Tau Ethereal Sitting in a command chair out of the corner of their eyes every so often in the upper airlock.
Trivia
Fenspace's Best-armed Houseboat at the current time.
Notes
- ↑ Built along side the Manta dropship. Designed with possible future upgrade to Hammerhead configuration if chosen. Which is also unlikely.
- ↑ "Park a Warthog in the bay of a Tau Vessel? For some this be rage inducing. For Dakota it doesn't even make him bat an eye."
