==Overview:==
Conceived of and designed by firms from the major Periphery nations, the
Pronghorn was intended to be as useful yet cost-efficient as possible.
==Capabilities:==
Even though the Periphery powers are slowly catching up on the newer
technologies, they don't have unlimited funds. To keep costs down, an I.C.E.
engine was used. As the Pronghorn wasn't intended for prolonged attacks, no
energy weapons were used, either.
Twin Shannon Fore SRM launchers, with shared ammunition bins, are
intended to take advantage of the Octagon Missile Magnet Narc launcher that
shares turret space with them. This will also benefit any LRM carrying 'mechs
and vehicles in their force.
Dual Sperry Browning machine guns sit in the turret to deal with any
standard infantry that may threaten it.
The only other nod to advanced technology comes in the form of an Apple
Churchill Guardian ECM suite; it protects it against hostile electronics, as
well as giving it the opportunity to foil any enemy C3 capabilities.
==Deployment==
Pronghorns have started popping up in the Marian Legions, the Concordat
Defense Forces, as well as the Canopian Militias. Rumors are being heard of
Outworlds Alliance interest in this vehicle to work hand-in-hand with its
Aerospace forces for ground support missions.
