====== Assegai ======

**Assegai Developments** is an AG racing team based within the United African Nations.

Over the decades, countless pilots from the African nations had proved their skill in the F5000 League using the vehicles of FEISAR, Auricom, Qirex, AG Systems and Piranha, and the initial formation of a team representing Africa was brought about by a bid to expand on the official AG Racing scene for the F7200 League. Headquartered in Durban, South Africa, Assegai Developments would be the corporation to step forward and make that a reality. Their vehicle design concept was an extremely lightweight fragile ship that would beat FEISAR for both speed and manoeuvrability, proving competitive for many years. Despite their performance, their time in the sport was relatively short, as Assegai was no longer an independent team by the time of the F9000 League, having been acquired by [[teams:piranha|Piranha]].

Bringing an updated vehicle design that moved away from fragile-and-agile, Assegai returned as a core competitor of the revived FX300 League, but more survivability forced them to refocus away from expert flight control towards an all-rounder that's quick off-the-mark. With the FX350 and FX400, to recapture some of their classic agility, Assegai partnered with Triakis for shield technology, while developing an almost wafer-thin ship, resulting in comparable defences without compromising on manoeuvrability, though the notable flight similarities with Harimau's slightly heavier ship brought these two teams into very close competition.

Compared to their previous ship, the FX350 ship has very noticeable gains in manoeuvrability, while stripping back only a little on Thrust and Shielding.

==== Technical Information ====
===Standard Chassis===
  * Average Top Speed
  * Average Thrust Acceleration
  * Very responsive Handling, offering a good turning rate and reasonable Ground Grip
  * Below average Shield Capacity

Expertly crafted control combined with great speed and acceleration make this team very suitable for all tracks and speed classes.

===Fury Prototype Chassis===
  * Slight improvement to Top Speed
  * Slight improvement to Thrust Acceleration
  * Turning Rate and Shield Capacity remain the same

Engine upgrades increase the pace of this team to further support the team's excellent agility.
