We present the first pointed X-ray observations of 10 candidate fossil galaxy groups and clusters .
With these Suzaku observations , we determine global temperatures and bolometric X-ray luminosities of the intracluster medium ( ICM ) out to r _ { 500 } for six systems in our sample .
The remaining four systems show signs of significant contamination from non-ICM sources .
For the six objects with successfully determined r _ { 500 } properties , we measure global temperatures in the range 2.8 \leq T _ { \mathrm { X } } \leq 5.3 \mathrm { keV } , bolometric X-ray luminosities of 0.8 \times 10 ^ { 44 } \leq L _ { \mathrm { X,bol } } \leq 7.7 \times 10 ^ { 44 } \mathrm { erg } % \mathrm { s } ^ { -1 } , and estimate masses , as derived from T _ { \mathrm { X } } , of M _ { 500 } \ga 10 ^ { 14 } \mathrm { M } _ { \odot } .
Fossil cluster scaling relations are constructed for a sample that combines our Suzaku observed fossils with fossils in the literature .
Using measurements of global X-ray luminosity , temperature , optical luminosity , and velocity dispersion , scaling relations for the fossil sample are then compared with a control sample of non-fossil systems .
We find the fits of our fossil cluster scaling relations are consistent with the relations for normal groups and clusters , indicating fossil clusters have global ICM X-ray properties similar to those of comparable mass non-fossil systems .
