Description[edit]

The Scavenger is a Star League–era IndustrialMech designed to recover heavily damaged or destroyed BattleMechs and other combat equipment on the Battlefield. It is the predecessor to the more modern SC-V-1 Vampyr ScavengerMech. The quadruped IndustrialMech was powered by a fuel cell engine, and it did not feature its successor's industrial triple strength myomer or Environmental Sealing.

The Gray Death Legion was among the noted users of the Scavenger.[3]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

A fluid suction system, sprayer, and mounted searchlight were fitted to the Scavenger. It also had a three ton extended fuel tank for longer operations.[2]

Cargo[edit]

The Scavenger had a twelve ton cargo bay and two tons of liquid storage available.

Variants[edit]

  • SC-V-M MilitiaMech
    This variant of the Scavenger was introduced in 2613. It removes all the cargo space, fluid suction system and sprayer but retains the searchlight. In the freed space is a single Autocannon/10 with two tons of ammunition and advanced fire control. An extra heat sink is fitted, and the extended fuel tank is retained. BV (2.0) = 672[4]

Notes[edit]

  • Variant Notes: Judging by its alphanumeric designation, the more modern SC-V-1 Vampyr SalvageMech is possibly a variant of the Scavenger from which it evolved; it is a related design in any case.[citation needed]
