Mechs/VND-1AAX

==Description==
A desperate field refit of the Confederations existing VND-1AA’s, the 1AAX was intensely loathed by the warriors assigned to it. Possessing less armor and weaponry than many comparable mechs, the 1AAX was designed as a highly mobile battlefield sniper; but struggled to survive once engaged by the enemy. A Partial Wing significantly boosted the designs mobility, whilst an Actuator Enhancement System bolstered the accuracy of the HPPC that constituted most of the designs firepower. The Small X-Pulse Laser and ER Medium Laser were insufficient firepower for anything other than anti-infantry work, posing little threat to heavily armored targets. The inclusion of Ferro-Fibrous armor allowed the design team to somewhat improve protection, even if it still fell far behind that off other comparable mechs, whilst the Laser AMS provided a degree of protection against incoming missiles. Unsurprisingly the design suffered high losses in combat and many mech warriors refused their assignments; only accepting them once the alternatives were made clear.
