Trixie's Pixies is a lance-sized command that is under the employ of
Bloom Amalgamated Services Corporation and features three
Phoenix Hawks and an
Assassin in its ranks. All four Mechs are heavily modified from salvage that resulted from the conflict known as the Jihad. Two of the
Phoenix Hawks are modified 3D models, while the other is an old 1D model. The
Assassin is a refit ASN-21 model that joined the ranks when the lance's fourth
Phoenix Hawk was lost in combat against Calderon Protectorate raiders. All four Mechs are linked via a standard C3 network. The Pixies use the Taurian rank structure. When in defense of the DropShips the two
Copper Security Mechs come under Subaltern Halperin's command. The Pixies have no standard paint scheme. They use a standard three-color camo pattern of medium gray, moss green and black. Each 'Mech is accented in a color of the pilot' own choosing.
The first
Phoenix Hawk belongs to Subaltern Patricia "Trixie" Halperin and is based on the 3D model. One of the ER Large lasers has been removed and replaced with an MML-5 launcher and two tons of ammunition. The Pixies lack consistent supply of advanced munition for their launchers and thus are usually fitted with standard missile loads. Other changes made to this Pixie include the replacement of the medium pulse lasers with standard medium lasers. The AMS unit has been moved to the left torso and with only ton of ammunition. A C3 Slave is mounted in the head. The rest of the weight savings went to CASE and increased armor protection. Trixie uses burnt orange as her accent color.

Phoenix Hawk is commanded by Cornet Jean-Bertrand "JB" Daladier and is also based on the 3D model as well. The left arm ER Large Laser has been removed and replaced by the lance's C3 Master unit. Again the medium pulse lasers have been removed and replaced with a pair of medium lasers, a pair of small puls lasers and a small laser. The AMS unit and it attendant ammunition have been removed and replaced by two tons of armor giving this Pixie near maximum protection. JB accents his 'Mech's head in a royal blue.

The modified PXH-1D Phoenix Hawk piloted by Cornet Ignacio Mejia benefits from the changes made to the other two Pixies in the lance. It's standard large laser is now an extended range model. When the engine was replaced it was decided that it should come with ten double heat sinks. with the weight savings two small lasers and a
C3 slave were added. With the refit armor was not increased, but changes were made so that the pilot was better protected. Mejia's accent colour is a pale yellow.

Cornet Oksana Grouchy's modified
Assassin is the final member of the lance and is a recent arrival as well. One of the conditions was to complete the upgrades she had began over the course of the last five years. Her Assassin mounts a 240XL which salvaged several years ago from a battlefield somewhere in the Capellan Confederation. She had already added the MML-5 launcher before joining the Pixies, but she only had a standard large laser as her main weapon with three standard medium lasers as backup. Upon signing up with the Pixies her large laser was replaced with the Pixies sole remaining extended range model. To add the C3 slave unit one her
Assassin's medium lasers was removed. This 'Mech is now protected by 7.5 tons of standard armor, a better than 50% increase in protection. Cornet Grouchy's cockpit is accented in crimson.
