Designer Notes
The command variant of the Black Mamba, the Razor Fang first appeared after the War of the Alliance when the Jaguar Command Gears that had served in the South returned home with their crews, and the Southern military found itself without a modern field command Gear. The most visible changes to the Black Mamba's structure are the configuration of the armor plates, mostly on the head, shoulders, and legs, while supplemental crash bars protect some vital joints. Some officers have been known to equip their Gears with war-surplus armor jackets, when they can be found. An Obelisk Electronics StarCom satellite uplink system was also added to the Razor Fang, allowing for long-range communication and interfacing with artillery control. The main antenna array for the system is located in a cylinder housing in the middle of the Razor Fang's V-engine backpack. A more complex communication array was included as part of the reshaped head of the Razor Fang. These modifications, slight in terms of combat ability, nonetheless make the aviant an efficient command and communications unit. The external differences in design tend to make Razor Fangs quite distinctive from the rest of their squad, thus attracting unwanted enemy fire.
