Designer Notes
The Long Fang variant of the Black Mamba chassis appeared during the War of the Alliance. Like the Northern Fire Jaguar, it was a makeshift solution to an urgent problem. While the Fire was developed to deal with the lack of available fire support units, the Long Fang used a similar design for self-reliant teams of Black Mambas. Southern commanders believed in concentrating the then-rare Black Mamba in fast strike cadres. To give these units some fire-support capabilities without sacrificing mobility, the Long Fang variant was created. The factory-delivered Vogel-8 rocket pod was replaced with two more powerful Vogel-B12 pods, bringing a total of 72 rockets to the field. The leg actuators and balance computers were then recalibrated to take the new center of gravity into account. This makeshift modification resulted in a loss of accuracy, but this was judged to be an acceptable trade off considering the added firepower of the Long Fang Black Mamba.
