The Desert Fox is the most common Capitolian battletank. It is mass-produced by Vulkan Military Technologies. It is fast, reliable and comfortable for its crew. It is designed to operate over long ranges in the Martian Rust Deserts and is characterized by it enormously wide track and low stream-lined shape, designed to reduce its profile on the ridges and dunes. Most Desert Foxes carry sand dozer scoops along their front to enable them to plow through drifts too deep or treacherous to be climbed over. These are also invaluable for clearing minefields and sometimes even act as another layer of armor when the Desert Fox is shot at from directly in front.

Dimensions: 8m long / 3m high / 4m wide.
