==Description==<br />
The '''''Scavenger''''' is a Star League Era IndustrialMech designed to recover heavily damaged or destroyed BattleMechs and other combat equipment on the Battlefield.<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
The [[Gray Death Legion]] was among the noted users of the ''Scavenger''.<ref name=TRO:VArp224>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 224</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
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.<ref name=rsvaimep98>''Record Sheets: Vehicle Annex, IndustrialMechs & Exoskeletons'', p. 98</ref><br />
<br />
==Cargo==<br />
The ''Scavenger'' had a twelve ton cargo bay and two tons of [[Liquid Storage]] available.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;SC-V-M MilitiaMech: This variant of the ''Scavenger'' was introduced in the [[Succession Wars era]]. 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<ref>''Record Sheets: Vehicle Annex, IndustrialMechs & Exoskeletons'', p. 99</ref><br />
==Notes==<br />
*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.{{cn}}<br />

==Description==<br />
Renowned for its heavy punch, the '''Brutus Assault Tank''' features an impressive combination of long and short range firepower. Powered by a Rawlings 225 [[Fusion Engine]] with a top speed of 54kph, the Brutus compares well to other fusion engine equipped tanks of similar weight and role like the [[Von Luckner]] and [[Manticore]], though unlike its contemporaries it only carries relatively light eight and half tons of Kressly Stoneskin 40X armor in exchange for a heavier weapons array.<ref name=TRO3058p64/><br />
<br />
Despite its abilities, the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] remained lukewarm on the design, relegating the tank to the Confederation's second-line militias and garrison postings, finally seeing action during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Impressed by its performance, the [[AFFS]] quickly pressed the large number of captured tanks into service among the frontline [[Regimental Combat Team]]s of the AFFS and [[AFFC]].<ref name=TRO3058p64/><ref name=cm50>''Chaos March (sourcebook)'', p. 50</ref><br />
<br />
After the formation of the [[Chaos March]], the Brutus saw heavy service as a stand-in among [[BattleMech]] poor noble forces, until Epsilon Eridani was accepted into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] and Kressly produced the design exclusively for the [[Word of Blake]], helping to bolster the Blakist's armor units in the lead-up to the [[Jihad]].<ref name=TRO3058Upp108-109/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The tank's principal weaponry are twin turret mounted [[Large Laser|Firmir MaxiLase Heavy Lasers]] supported by a [[LRM 20|twenty-tube Delta Dart Long Range Missile Launcher]]. To complement the Large Lasers at short ranges, the Brutus was given two [[SRM-6|Hovertec six tube]] and a single [[SRM-2|Hovertec twin tube]] [[Short Range Missile]] Launcher in its frontal firing arc. The SRM launchers have a ton of ammunition each, while its LRM launcher has been given three tons of ammunition.<ref name=TRO3058p64/><ref name=cm50/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
<br />
*;LRM : This [[3001]] variant removed both of the Large Lasers, instead mounting a pair of turreted [[LRM 20]] launchers. The Launchers had been given six tons of ammunition to keep the tank going in battle. The armor protection of the tank had been slightly increased as well. BV (1.0) = 845, BV (2.0) = 1,248<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 165</ref><br />
<br />
*;PPC : In place of the twin Large Lasers and LRM 20 this [[3005]] version saw a pair of [[PPC|Parti-Kill Heavy Cannons]], and an additional SRM 2. It also sees increase in armor protection. BV (1.0) = 735, BV (2.0) = 1,208<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 166</ref><br />
<br />
*;PPC Variant 2 : This [[3011]] variant keeps the standard Brutus armor layout and Large Lasers, but replaces the LRM and SRM-6 launchers with a single PPC. For additional short range firepower four SRM-2 racks are mounted on the vehicle but one ton of ammunition can lead to shortages in an ongoing battle. BV (2.0) = 979<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 167</ref><br />
<br />
*;HPPC : This [[3075]] variant replaces the Lasers with a [[Heavy PPC]], and allows the vehicle to take part in a [[C3]] network. The rest of the armament remains the same as the standard Brutus.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 191</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,186<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 43</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Challenger X Main Battle Tank''' was designed to combat the threat the [[Clans]] posed to the Inner Sphere. The Challenger was a joint effort between [[Kallon Industries]] and [[General Motors]]; rather than possibly losing out on lucrative contracts trying to outdo one another, the two corporations teamed up to create a main battle tank that could stand up to a [[BattleMech]]. The tank was produced on [[Kirklin]], [[Kathil]], and [[Salem]].<ref name=TRO114 /><br />
<br />
The Challenger X was designed as a super-heavy tank to handle multiple threats. Despite the expense, the two companies equipped the Challenger X with General Motors' [[Fusion Engine - XL|270 rated Extra-Light Fusion Engine]] to give the tank the room it needs to carry an assortment of deadly weaponry without sacrificing speed. The engine allows the tank to move a modest 54 kilometers per hour, keeping pace with formations of heavy vehicles and 'Mechs and evading dangerous [[infantry]] attacks from [[Elemental|clan Elementals]]. The tank is protected by fourteen tons of Kallon's [[Ferro-Fibrous Armor]] with a MainFire Point-Defense [[anti-missile system]] providing additional protection from missiles by reducing the number missiles that strike the armor.<ref name=TRO114>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', p. 114</ref><ref name=RSU135>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrade'', p. 135</ref><br />
<br />
The Challenger was initially deployed in the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]], and later the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], though the [[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]] retained a number of Challengers. It joined prestigious units such as the [[Davion Heavy Guards]] and [[Davion Assault Guards]] [[Inner Sphere military structure#Regimental Combat Team|Regimental Combat Teams]], where it formed backbone for those regiments' tanks corps.<ref name=TRO114 /><br />
<br />
The Challenger saw combat on both sides of the [[FedCom Civil War]] and later saw action during the [[Jihad]] on the brutal battlefields of [[New Avalon]], [[St. Ives]], and [[Indicass]].<ref name=TRO114 /><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Challenger's primary weaponry includes a turret mounted [[Poland Main Model A]] [[Gauss Rifle]] with two tons of ammo giving the tank a needed long range punch, as well as one-shot-one-kill capacity. To help combat [[battle armor]] and other threats, an [[Imperator Code Red]] [[LB 10-X Autocannon]] is also turret-mounted with two tons of ammo capacity allowing the tank to carry both solid and cluster rounds to respond to any situation the tank might face. An [[Artemis IV FCS]]-enhanced Federated [[LRM-10|10-Shot Long Range Missile Launcher]] with two tons of ammunition joins the main guns in the turret to supplement their long range firepower. To combat threats at short range, the Challenger X has also been equipped with a potent point-defense consisting of a pair of Federated Super [[Streak SRM 2]] launchers protecting the sides of the tank, two front-mounted [[Martell]] [[Medium Pulse Lasers]] and a rear-mounted [[Exostar]] [[Small Pulse Laser]] defending the tank's rear flank.<ref name=TRO114 /><ref name=RSU135 /><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
<br />
*;Challenger XI MBT : Outfitted by the [[AFFC]], this command variant was to utilize a [[C3 Command Unit|C3 Master Computer]] to coordinate a lance sized [[C3 Network]]. The tank's weaponry includes two Gauss Rifles with five tons of ammunition, though it only carried a forward-mounted [[ER Medium Laser]] as a secondary weapon.<ref name=TRO114 /><ref name=RSU136>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrade'', pg. 136</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,254 (Combined C3 BV), BV (2.0) = 1,833<br />
<br />
*;Challenger XII MBT : The XII was introduced in [[3064]] and premiered on the battlefield in the [[FedCom Civil War]]. It retained the original's Gauss Rifle, but increased the ammunition capacity to three tons. The turret-mounted LRM 10 was upgraded to Artemis enhanced [[LRM 15]] launcher with three tons of ammo. The LB 10-X was replaced by a [[Rotary Autocannon/2]] with two tons of ammo. Its front-mounted lasers were replaced with two ER Medium Lasers. The side-mounted Streak SRM 2 launchers were replaced with a single [[Streak SRM 4]] launcher mounted in turret with a single ton of ammo to feed it. The tank was also equipped with a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] to protect it from enemy electronics and a [[C3 Slave Unit]] to enhance gunnery by taking advantage of targeting data from other units on the same network.<ref name=TRO114 /><ref name=RSU136 /> BV (1.0) = 1,580 (combined with C3 slave BV). BV (2.0) = 1,854<br />
<br />
*;Challenger Mk. XIVs : This [[Jihad]] era variant is intended for underwater operations. [[Environmental Sealing]] keeps air in the tank. The Gauss Rifle, Artemis IV, and LRM launchers are replaced by an [[ER Large Laser]] and an [[MML-7]]. The forward firing pulse lasers are replaced by an [[SRM-4]] and [[SRT-4]]. [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor protects the tank.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 191</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,512<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 52</ref><br />
<br />
*;Challenger Mk. XVc : The [[Experimental Rules|Experimental]] Mk. XVc was developed by a group of former AFFS tankers to build the "ideal" tank during the [[Jihad]]. Though it keeps the Gauss Rifle of the original, a [[Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle]] replaces the LB 10-X cannon. The missile launchers were replaced by a single [[Thunderbolt 15]] system. A sponson turret on each side of the tank carries a pair of [[Magshot]]s, providing effective anti-armor fire. The Mk. XVc removes the anti-missile system and armor of the original and replaces them with thirteen and half tons of [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor. Maintaining the same speed is possible due to the [[XXL Engine]] carried in the tank. BV (2.0) = 1,894<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Davion'', p. 10</ref><br />
<br />
*;Challenger Mk. XV : Based on the Challenger Mk. XVc, this version of the Challenger uses all Gauss weapons. The XXL Engine of the XVc has been replaced with a [[Fuel Cell]] engine to reduce cost, and the Thunderbolt missile system was removed. This leaves the Challenger Mk. XV with a Gauss Rifle and Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle in the turret and a pair of Magshots in each sponson turret. Fifteen tons of Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor protects the tank. BV (2.0) = 1,724<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 61</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
Named after a militia officer on [[New Avalon]] where it was built, the '''Estevez''' was the main battle tank of the [[Federated Suns]] throughout the [[twenty-fourth century]] and into the [[Age of War]]. It entered service by [[2310]] as one of the earliest and most effective tank designs developed outside the [[Terran Hegemony]]. With its sheer size and power the Estevez often caused lighter armed enemies to break and run, thus developing a fearsome reputation over decades of service.<ref name=ED:AoWp24-25/><br />
<br />
By the early 2400s, however, advancing technology had made the Estevez obsolete. Its main gun proved ineffective against more modern armor, made worse by its now-outdated fire control system and inability to fire specialized munitions. Its large crew and high fuel consumption also drained [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] resources in prolonged conflicts. The Estevez was eventually taken out of front line service in the mid-25th century after a disastrous simulated battle against [[Draconis Combine]] [[BattleMech]]s on [[Robinson]]. Some were kept in service for a few more years after conversion into anti-air tanks but eventually all Estevezes were scrapped and replaced by the modern [[Tiger]] MBT.<ref name=ED:AoWp24-25/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Estevez's main gun was a turret-mounted, large-caliber [[Avalon Slugger]] tank rifle which provided great punch against contemporary enemies. Its seven tons of ammunition stored in the hull also gave it enormous battlefield endurance. Two coaxial [[PC-50]] machine guns on the turret plus a smoke grenade launcher mounted on each side protected the tank against infantry.<ref name=ED:AoWp24-25/><br />

== Description ==<br />
The '''Trajan''' Assault Infantry Fighting Vehicle (abbreviated Trajan AIFV), is a combat vehicle produced for the [[Republic of the Sphere]] as transportation for their [[Battle Armor]] forces. The vehicle was originally conceived for the [[Word of Blake|Word of Blake's]] [[Protectorate Militia|Protectorate Militias]] forces to allow them to transport their large motorized and conventional infantry forces during the [[Jihad]].<ref name="TRO:3085p46+"/><br />
<br />
The vehicle first appeared in combat on [[Wasat]] in [[3077]]<ref name="JHS:Tp44">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 44, "Wasat Falls" - Year of liberation of Wasat noted.</ref> as the ''Palmoni'' AIFV. The vehicle came as a surprise to the Allied Coalition. However, it was not popular with Coalition forces and vehicles were usually left behind for new planetary militias to use. With formation of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], the vehicle's makers decided to rebrand it as a bid for the Republic's need for a Battle Armor Transport vehicle.<ref name="TRO:3085p46+"/><br />
<br />
The Trajan's selling point is its large 8 ton Infantry Transport Bay, which allows the largest of Battle Armor to be moved into the position with some ease. The vehicle is protected by 13.5 tons of standard armor to insure its cargo and crew get to its destination intact. The ''Trajan'' features a [[C3 Slave Unit|C3 Slave Computer]] and [[Guardian ECM]] to bolster its usefulness on the battlefield.<ref name="TRO:3085p46+"/><br />
<br />
== Weapons and Equipment ==<br />
The ''Trajan'''s main weapons are found in the vehicle's turret which include; Pair of 7-tubed Multi-Missile Launchers, Extended Medium Laser and Light Class 5 Autocannon. These weapons make up the bulk of the vehicle's firepower. The MMLs and LAC/5s have 4 and 2 tons respectively allotted to each of them.<br />
<br />
To help cope with infantry, the vehicle has four Light Machine Guns mounted in each of the vehicle's flanks. The vehicle also features a pair of Anti-Missile Systems mounted on its front flanks. These weapons have been given 1 and 2 tons of ammo respectively to each of these weapon systems.<ref name="TRO:3085p46+"/><br />
<br />
== Variants ==<br />

== Description ==<br />
Designed by United Mechanics, LLC on [[Apollo (planet)|Apollo]] for the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] as an anti-insurgent vehicle. Originally based on an infantry personnel carrier, it was designed for urban assault against urban shelters. The vehicle was used to ram its target buildings so it could deliver its infantry squad into the breached structure. Originally named the ''Ram'', the vehicle crews during its original time of use, came to use another name. It was referred to as the ''Ignis'', with flamers reminding them of the Vedic god of fire. The vehicle at that time was only used by the Republic's state security forces. The vehicle was retired after a decade of use. However, its usage made it a memorial vehicle in the Rim World's history.<ref name="TRO:3075p292+"/><br />
<br />
In [[2751]], President Stefan Amaris brought the Ignis back into production for his Amaris Dragoon regiments. Exclusively assigning crews who had strong hatred for the [[Star League]]. When it was deployed with the Dragoons, the vehicle was deployed in dedicated Ignis companies. Due to its high maintenance issues, units regularly kept a pool of twice as many vehicles as available crews, so enough vehicles would be available. During the [[Amaris Coup]], the Ignis was noted for its atrocities against civilians in the [[Terran Hegemony]]. The [[99th Amaris Dragoons|99th Amaris Dragoons']] Ignis platoons had notably committed such severe atrocities, but would be admired by the [[thirty-first century|thirty-first century's]] [[Word of Blake]].<ref name="TRO:3075p292+"/><br />
<br />
== Weapons and Equipment ==<br />
The vehicle is armed with a pair of Vehicle Flamers mounted on its left and right flanks. Its flamer supply includes up 4 tons of ammunition for them. Mounted in a small turret is a single Machine Gun with a half ton of ammunition.<ref name="TRO:3075p292+"/><br />
<br />
The vehicle is protected by nine tons of armor, with four tons dedicated to the front of the vehicle for ramming structures. The vehicle is also equipped with a one ton [[Infantry Bay]] for squads of troops to be deployed.<ref name="TRO:3075p292+"/><br />
<br />
== Variants ==<br />
*;SRM : Created as a Anti-light BattleMech and Vehicle variant of the Ignis introduced in [[Introduction Year::2751]]<ref name="MUL2"/>. Retaining the infantry bay, the vehicle drops two of its four flamers and 3 tons of ammo. This was exchanged for a pair of [[SRM 2]] launchers mounted in the turret with 2 tons of ammunition. The vehicle crews were noted using alternate ammunition types such as [[Inferno]], Harpoon, [[Tear Gas]] and [[Fragmentation Missile|Fragmentation]].

==Description==<br />
Originally unveiled in [[2744]], the '''''Deathstalker''''' was a visionary [[Aerospace Fighter]] concept with a then revolutionary forward swept wing design, however, flaws in the cutting edge fighter led to a publicized crash of a prototype and its shelving until the desperate days of the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]]. <br />
<br />
Developed by [[Andurien AeroTech]] as an experimental concept, the ''Deathstalker'' revisited an unorthodox and long forgotten concept of the swept wing. When properly applied, the alternate wing design produced both a remarkably stable flight profile and allowed the use of lighter and thinner materials, and led to its development as a full design. A powerful weapons array, twenty-five [[Double Heat Sink]]s and ten and half tons of armor made the ''Deathstalker'' a formidable foe in combat, but at the cost of speed. During trial flights, the ''Deathstalker'' was repeatedly outmaneuvered by comparable [[SLDF]] and member state designs, though claiming a number of kills before it was defeated. <ref name="TRO3026R">''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', p. 101-101 - "F-77 Deathstalker"</ref> <ref name="TRO3075">''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 266 - "F-77 Deathstalker"</ref><br />
<br />
However, the prototype design specs had an air frame weight imbalance between the wings and fuselage, a flaw devastatingly revealed during a much-publicized demonstration flight when the prototype crashed after one of its wings suddenly tore off. The twenty ''Deathstalker''s constructed were permanently grounded, never seeing live combat, but Andurien AeroTech remained convinced for the swept wing concept, leading to a massive redesign which ultimately result in the successful ''[[Stingray|F-90 Stingray]]''. <ref name="TRO3026R"/> <ref name="TRO3075"/><br />
<br />
It was thanks to the ''Stingray''s centuries of service removing the stigma of the forward-swept wing, and the newly independent [[Duchy of Andurien]] attempts to bolster their indigenous production of military hardware after the collapse of the League during the Jihad that the ''Deathstalker'' finally entered limited production in [[3073]]. <ref name="TRO3075"/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Intended for an air supremacy role, the ''Deathstalker'' carried a nose mounted Imperator X [[Autocannon/10]] backed up by twin Hellion-a III [[ER Large Lasers]] in each wing. The large volume of double heat sinks carried allowed the fighter to fire its primary weapons at once, with two wing mounted Hellion-b [[Medium Laser]]s providing fallback firepower when cooling down. <ref name="TRO3026R"/> <ref name="TRO3075"/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;F-77a : The upgraded [[3073]] production model ''Deathstalker'' features an [[Ultra AC/10]] in place of the standard model and carries more ammunition for it. While the ER Large Lasers are retained, both standard mediums are swapped for more advanced [[Diverse Optics]] [[ER Medium Lasers]] and a [[ER Small Laser]] has been added to the rear to discourage pursuers. All this heavier and advanced hardware is made possible by the use of a [[Light Fusion Engine]]<ref name="TRO3075"/>. BV (2.0) = 1,866<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 179</ref><br />
<br />
*;XF-78 : This upgraded [[3068]] ''Deathstalker'' is protected by fifteen and a half tons of [[Stealth Armor]] tied into a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]. A [[Large X-Pulse Laser]] is mounted in each wing, but the main armament is an [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]] mounted in the nose. Equipped with a three ton magazine, this weapon can inflict massive amounts of damage on Aerospace Fighters and [[DropShip]]s.

==Description==<br />
The '''''Sparrowhawk''''' was designed and debuted in [[2520]] as a fighter escort for larger attack craft (heavy [[ASF]]s, assault [[DropShip]]s, etc.). The high rate of thrust also allows it to be a superb first-response unit. The craft has a unique armor ejection system installed, so that the pilot may manually release the damaged armor if it would hinder atmospheric re-entry. The [[Rander 100]] communications system is considered one of the most reliable in any ASF.<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The ''Sparrowhawk'' is armed only with laser weapons, increasing its combat persistence. Two [[Martell]] [[Medium Laser]]s mounted in the nose provide accurate short- and medium-range firepower. Two wing-mounted [[Exostar]] [[Small Laser]]s add additional short-range punch, although their accuracy is limited, particularly if the fire control system suffers combat damage.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;SPR-H5K : This Kuritan variant (introduced in [[3018]]) removes both Medium Lasers and replaces them with another four Small Lasers, mounted in the nose & fuselage. This increases the rate of firepower, but the targeting system, which was not matched, can be easily overtaxed. BV (1.0) = 505, BV (1.0) = 505<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 43</ref><br />
<br />
*;SPR-6D : Introduced in [[3051]], this [[Star League]]-quality variant swaps each of the original lasers with pulse versions, increasing its combat capability by over seven percent. BV (1.0) = 680<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 44</ref>, BV (2.0) = 729<br />
<br />
*;SPR-7D : This variant was developed during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. The medium lasers in the nose are upgraded to [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s. The small lasers in the wing were replaced with an [[ER Medium Laser]], with 10 double heat sinks for better heat management. BV (1.0) = 945<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><br />
<br />
*;SPR-7Dr : This [[3130]] refit removes the Medium Pulse Laser and ER Lasers of the -7D. In their place are two nose-mounted [[Medium Re-engineered Laser]]s and an [[ER Small Laser]] in each wing. BV (2.0) = 789<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 204</ref><br />
<br />
*;SPR-8H : This Davion variant (introduced in [[2906]]) replaces both Medium Lasers and one Small Laser with one Holly SRM-2 rack and ammunition space. Due to its unpopularity, it is only seen (rarely) in the [[Capellan March Militia]]. BV (1.0) = 452<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 45</ref>, BV (2.0) = 466<br />
<br />
*;SPR-DH : This variant of the ''Sparrowhawk'' was manufactured by [[KukkTransportation Industries]], developed by the [[Outworlds Alliance]] in [[3076]]. Carrying a [[Primitive Engine]] and [[Primitive Cockpit]], the SPR-DH is equipped with a pair of Medium Lasers and [[ER Small Laser]]s. Compared to the SPR-H5, the DH carries only a little more than half the armor protection. For all these faults however, the SPR-DH is popular with mercenary forces and militia units in the Outworlds Alliance.

One of the products of the post-[[Clan Invasion]] trillion [[M-Bill]] naval technology renaissance in the [[Free Worlds League]], the '''''Lancer''''' is an advanced [[Aerospace Fighter]] design that sees most use as a carrier [[DropShip]] and [[WarShip]]-based reconnaissance craft.<ref name=TRO3067-141-143/><br />
<br />
[[Gutierrez Aerospace]] put their decade of experience with producing the stopgap F-94 ''[[Stingray]]'' to good use in designing the test bed LX-1 to validate the design and new technology, with the production model LX-2 entering service after a four year development period in [[3064]]. Though not as "cutting-edge" as the ''[[Shiva]]'' [[OmniFighter]], the ''Lancer'' is a formidable aircraft, hailed as a "dream to fly" by pilots and "simplicity to maintain" by ground crews.<ref name=TRO3067-141-143/><br />
<br />
A light and agile fighter with integrated flight and weapon systems, the heart of the aircraft is the 250-rated [[fusion engine]] and five tons of fuel, capable of driving the ''Lancer'' at high speeds at low level. Advanced terrain-avoidance sensors allow the ''Lancer'' to fly at NOE altitudes, a highly successful if uncomfortable way to sneak under enemy radar cover.<ref name=TRO3067-141-143/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
A nose-mounted Irian Weapons Works Class 10b [[LRM-10|LRM launcher]] provides the ''Lancer''s principal long-range firepower, the same weapon carried by the ''Stingray'' with the addition of an [[Artemis IV FCS]] to improve missile accuracy, with a Tronel PPL-22 [[Large Pulse Laser]] mounted in each wing providing medium-range firepower. While carrying an advanced and well rounded weapons array for its size, the ''Lancer'' is hampered by carrying only a single ton of LRM reloads, and bombs or external pods greatly degrade the fighter's performance in its signature NOE role.<ref name=TRO3067-141-143/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;LX-2A : A [[3066]] variant used on the FWLS ''Santorini'' replaces the LRM launcher with an [[ER Large Laser]], an extra heat sink, as well as an extra ton of fuel.

<br />
*;LX-3 : This [[3074]] ''Lancer'' variant removes the standard weaponry and replaces it with a [[Large Variable Speed Pulse Laser]] in each wing. It also carries a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] in the nose. BV(2.0)=1,037<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 250</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
Built around a large bore [[autocannon]], the venerable '''''Lightning''''' is well admired for its speed as well as its armor.<ref name=TRO:3075/><br />
<br />
After reverse engineering the [[Terran Hegemony]]'s brand new [[AC/10]], the [[Capellan Confederation]] began a crash program to develop an [[Aerospace Fighter]] to carry it. The resulting ''Lightning'' was well received although eventually the ever advancing pace of military technology left it behind.<ref name=TRO:3075/><br />
<br />
The ''Lightning'' received a new lease of life when the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] developed the mammoth [[AC/20]], with [[Tengo Aerospace]] reworking the venerable design to include the new weapon along with ten and a half tons of [[BattleMech]] class armor and a more efficient [[GM]] [[Fusion Engine]] in [[2511]].<ref name=TRO:3075/><br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Tengo's hopes for renewed sales were dashed when the [[CCAF]] chose to go with [[Mujika Aerospace Technologies]]' cheaper knock-off of the ''Lightning'', the ''[[Transit]]'', instead. Desperate to survive, Tengo illegally sold the design to Lyran and [[House Davion|Davion]] manufacturers, with the fighter slowly spreading across the [[Inner Sphere]] and ensuring its survival in the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]].<ref name=TRO:3075/><br />
<br />
The license were sold to [[HildCo Interplanetary]] on [[Texlos]] in the Capellan Confederation, [[Lockheed/CBM Corporation]] on [[Tharkad]] in the [[Lyran Alliance]] and [[United Outworlders Corporation]] on [[Ramora]] in the [[Outworlds Alliance]]. [[Tengo Aerospace]] continued to produce the ''Lightning'' at the factories on [[Sarna]] and [[St. Ives]] for the CCAF.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 250 </ref> In addition, [[Lycomb-Davion IntroTech]] on [[New Avalon]] within the Federated Suns<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 97 </ref> and [[Taurus Territorial Industries]] on [[Taurus]] in the [[Taurian Concordat]]<ref>''Objective Raids'', p.162 </ref> were also counted among the craft's manufacturers.<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Built around the massive Luxor Heavy 20 Autocannon, the ''Lightning'' is to be feared at short range. Unfortunately, its only other weapons are four Diverse Optics II [[Medium Laser]]s, two to each wing, leaving the design relatively short-ranged, relying on its speed and armor holding out to get into a position of advantage.<ref name=TRO:3075/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;LTN-G14 : The original ''Lightning'' model built in [[2465]], it mounted an AC/10 along with the four medium lasers and featured more primitive armor and engines. BV (2.0) = 826<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 154</ref><br />
<br />
*;LTN-G15b : Used by the [[SLDF]], this [[2721]] version carried a [[Gauss Rifle]] and Medium Laser in place of the AC/20. It also traded the standard wing armament for a Medium Laser and a [[Medium Pulse Laser]]. Finally, a standard Medium Laser covered the rear arc. Ten [[Double Heat Sinks]] kept the heat under control. BV (2.0) = 1,671<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike'', p. 87</ref><br />
<br />
*;LTN-G16D : A more radical update developed in [[3068]] by the [[Federated Suns]], the G16D features the Ferro-Aluminum armor and double heat sinks of the other recent upgrades, but also includes an [[XL Engine]] to free up space for a pair of [[Rotary AC/2]]s in the nose and a [[Medium Pulse Laser]] to each wing alongside the now upgraded ER mediums. BV (2.0) = 1,328<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 156</ref><br />
<br />
*;LTN-16L : A [[3067]] upgrade developed in [[House Liao]] space, the 16L uses [[Ferro-Aluminum]] armor and [[Double Heat Sink]]s to free up space for an [[Ultra AC/20]] and [[ER Medium Laser]]s. BV (2.0) = 1,376<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 157</ref><br />
<br />
*;LTN-16O : Developed in [[3068]] by the [[Outworlds Alliance]], the upgraded 16O retains the armor of the original but replaces the weapons with [[LB 20-X AC]] and a trio of [[ER Small Laser]]s on each wing. BV (2.0) = 1,220<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 159</ref><br />
<br />
*;LTN-G16S : Another more expensive and radical updating, the Lyran's G16S features double heat sinks, a [[Light Fusion Engine]] and [[Heavy Ferro-Aluminum]] armor to boost protection and free up weight for a [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] in the nose, and four extended range small and medium lasers on the wings. BV (2.0) = 1,633<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 159</ref><br />
<br />
*;LTN-16T : A upgrade developed for the [[Taurian Concordat]], the 16T also uses Ferro-Aluminum armor and double heat sinks to free up weight for an imported [[Targeting Computer]] and extended range lasers. BV (2.0) = 1,256<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 160</ref><br />
<br />
===Custom Variants===<br />
*;LTN-G16-P ''Lightning'' Branson : The customized fighter of a former [[Clan Snow Raven]] warrior, the ''Lightning Branson'' uses several new [[Experimental Technology|experimental systems]] to keep enemy forces on their guard. The standard armor has been replaced with Clan-made [[Ferro-Lamellor]] armor and double heat sinks. The weapon loadout of the ''Lightning'' has been replaced as well, using three Inner Sphere made [[ER Medium Laser]]s, two [[ER Small Laser]]s covering the rear, while a nose mounted [[Hypervelocity Autocannon/10]] provides a long-range punch. BV (2.0) = 982<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Pirates'', p. 12</ref><br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The ''Lightning'' was introduced in ''[[AeroTech#Notes|AeroTech]]'' (1st edition) as one of the six original designs, but lacked model number, release date, or any description beyond its game stats. It was finally given a detailed description in line with that of other aerospace fighters in ''[[Technical Readout: 3075]]''.<br />

==Description==<br />
Originally designed for the [[Star League]], the '''''Cheetah''''' is a light support or reconnaissance [[Aerospace Fighter]]. Boasting a maximum acceleration of nine gravities and a safe acceleration of six, the ''Cheetah'' is among the fastest and most agile fighters in existence and features a good weapons load-out for its size. This speed is necessary, as with only three tons of armor a solid hit by a heavy laser or missile volley can cause serious trouble. Four tons of fuel provide adequate range, though the idea that the GM 250-a power plant consumes more fuel than usual is just an old wives' tale. Another urban legend that the fighter's agility suffers when operating in an atmosphere is also false, though its extreme accelerations are physically punishing on its pilot.<ref name=TRO3025r>''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 148</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 192</ref><br />
<br />
The ''Cheetah'' was in continuous production from its introduction up until the downfall of the Star League, when the [[Free Worlds League]] copied the design and retooled several of their factories to continue producing them. It since became the standard light fighter of the [[Free Worlds League Military]], appearing in nearly every FWLM aero formation. It has performed well in many roles especially escorting [[DropShip]]s, with many assault squadrons using ''Cheetahs'' for long-range patrols and fast-courier runs.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Well armed for a light aerospace fighter, the F-10 ''Cheetah'' has a Starflash I [[Small Laser]] in the nose and a Starflash II [[Medium Laser]] in each wing. The lasers give the ''Cheetah'' a heavy punch for supporting other fighters or ground troops.<ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;F-11 : This upgraded [[3051]] variant produced by [[House Marik]], the F-11 eventually became the fighter's standard production model, correcting many of the flaws in the original. It uses a GM 250-a [[XL Engine]] and change the armor to [[Ferro-Aluminum]], increasing the amount of armor protection by half. The lasers are also changed to a [[Small Pulse Laser]] and two [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s, while two tons of additional fuel gives it longer legs.<ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 583<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><br />
<br />
*;F-11-R : The [[2802]] reconnaissance version of the ''Cheetah-R'' strips the two [[Medium Laser|Medium Lasers]] and adds two tons of fuel. This version is not intended to fight an enemy, as the single small laser can offer only token resistance.<ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 236<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 29</ref>, BV (2.0) = 197<br />
<br />
*;F-11-RR : An [[3054]] upgrade to the reconnaissance version, the RR replaces the standard [[Fusion Engine]] with a GM 250-a XL model, adds back the two Starflash medium lasers and increases its fuel capacity to ten tons, giving the variant superior range and firepower.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3057'', p. 178</ref><ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 117</ref><ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 492<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 30</ref>, BV (2.0) = 448<br />
<br />
*;F-12A : A failed prototype, this ''Cheetah'' variant was developed in [[3021]]. It trades the standard 250 rated engine for a 275 model, increasing speed slightly. However, to make room for the larger engine, the F-12A had to remove the medium lasers and a ton of armor, leaving it it with a single small laser and two tons of armor protection. The FWLM ordered Imstar to shut down the design production line and cancelled all orders.<ref name=XTRO>''Experimental Technical Readout: Boondoggles'', p. 15</ref><br />
<br />
*;F-12-S : The [[2868]] ''Cheetah-S'' removes the medium lasers and one ton of fuel, to be replaced by an [[SRM-4]] pack and one ton of ammo. With the reduced range this variant is used primarily as a defensive craft for installations or Dropships.<ref name=TRO3039/> BV (1.0) = 329<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 31</ref>, BV (2.0) = 299<br />
<br />
*;F-13 : This [[3069]] model upgrades the lasers to extended-range models, and mounts an additional [[ER Medium Laser]] to each wing. The armor is changed to Ferro-Aluminum for better protection and [[double heat sinks]] are added for better cooling management. BV (1.0) = 973<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039''</ref><br />
<br />
*;F-14-S : This [[3052]] ''Cheetah'' replaces the standard weapons with a pair of [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers. It also carries five and a half tons of armor. BV (2.0) = 458<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 33</ref><br />
<br />
*;OF-17 "Hawkeye" : This special reconnaissance variant removes all the standard weapons and armor and replaces them with a [[Hyperspectral Imager]], [[Vehicular Stealth Armor]] and a [[Guardian ECM]]. By shutting down their engines and using a ballistic flight path, several of these ''Cheetahs'' sailed past [[Terra]]'s defenses before [[Operation SCOUR]] came to Humanity's birthworld. The last minute data gathered by these units allowed Coalition commanders to modify their strategy. BV (2.0) = 352<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Marik'', p. 12</ref><br />
<br />
*;OF-17A-R : This version of the OF-17 uses a [[Small Cockpit]] to make room for two aft mounted [[Small Laser]]s. Retaining the Stealth Armor and Hyperspectral Imager of the OF-17 is fine, but the cramped cockpit has led to complaints from the Lyran pilots assigned to it. Unfortunately, the Lyran procurement agency isn't willing to listen, so the pilots will have to live with the cramped conditions and useless small lasers. BV (2.0) = 290<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 165</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Prototypes'', p. 82</ref><br />
<br />
*;''Cheetah'' IIC : This variant is produced by the [[Wolf Empire]] and is apparently inspired by the [[Thrush#Custom Variants|''Thrush'' Nanook]]. [[Laser Reflective Armor]] protects the hull and an [[XXL Engine]] and [[Small Cockpit]] free enough mass to install a quartet of [[Improved Heavy Laser]]s and a [[Light Active Probe]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 224</ref><br />

<br />
==Description==<br />
The first Heavy aerospace fighter developed by the [[Free Worlds League]], the simple and rugged '''''Eagle''''' continues to serve as a yardstick for modern fighter designs.<br />
<br />
First developed in [[2324]], the modern ''Eagle'' first appeared in [[2601]] featuring fourteen tons of [[BattleMech]] grade armor, a Vlar 300 rating [[Fusion Engine]] and a whopping twenty-<br />
five [[heat sink]]s. While not of the same class as [[Star League Defense Force]] designs of the same weight, the ''Eagle'' compares very favorably to those of the other [[Great House]]s.<ref name=TRO3075-264-265/><br />
<br />
Unfortunately, while in widespread use across the [[Free Worlds League Military]] and militia forces, the destruction of Imstar's assembly line for the fighter [[2811]] during the [[First Succession War]] has resulted in a steady decline of the design in Marik space. The ''Eagle'' lives on in both halves of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] thanks to the theft of the plans by spies in the employ of [[House Davion]] prior to the Imstar plant's destruction. Produced since the [[Second Succession War]], the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]] most commonly uses it a second-line fighter, a role continued in the AFFS with the design specs shared with Lockheed-CBM.<ref name=TRO3075-264-265/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Intended for roles far from established lines of supply, the ''Eagle'' carries a mix of Magna lasers, three Mk III [[Large Laser]]s for primary ranged fire, one per wing, and four Mk II [[Medium Laser]]s mounted forward for short-ranged combat, and one aft-mounted to discourage pursuit. The large volume of heat sinks carried allows the fighter to fire most of these weapons nearly constantly, and gives the ''Eagle'' excellent endurance.<ref name=TRO3075-264-265/> The fighter is built in several sites which explains its wide use.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;EGL-R1 : The first ''Eagle'' produced in [[2324]] used a [[Primitive Technology|primitive]] cockpit, armor, and engine. Though it had the same fuel capacity and weaponry as the R6, it offered much less protection to its pilot and was slower. BV (2.0)=1,255<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 172</ref><br />
<br />
*;EGL-R4 : A common example of the earlier, more primitive ''Eagle''s developed in [[2492]] and still in use thanks to the tech decline of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], the R4 features five medium lasers, two large lasers and mounts [[Industrial Armor]]<ref name=TRO3075-264-265/>. BV (2.0) = 1,294<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 173</ref><br />
<br />
*;EGL-R6b : Constructed in [[2765]] for and exclusively distributed to [[Star League Defense Force Royal Divisions]], this ''Eagle'' mounts a [[Large Pulse Laser]] in the nose and each wing, along with four [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s: Two in the nose and one in each wing. To discourage pursuit, a pair of [[Medium Laser]]s cover the rear. BV (2.0) = 1,677<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike'', p. 88</ref><br />
<br />
*;EGL-R9 : Intended as an anti-[[DropShip]] variant, the [[2601]] R9 replaces the large lasers with a pair of wing mounted Magna Hellstar [[PPC]]s and an additional heat sink<ref name=TRO3075-264-265/>. BV (2.0) = 1,458<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - Age of War'', p. 175</ref><br />
<br />
*;EGL-R10 : Developed in [[2684]] for the ground attack role, the R10 removes the wing-mounted large lasers, replacing each with three additional medium lasers and two extra heat sinks<ref name=TRO3075-264-265/>.

==Description==<br />
Considered to be well armored and fairly well armed, the '''''Lucifer''''' is known for its tight maneuvering and prolonged weapons fire capabilities. However, numerous issues with cooling, targeting, and communications systems have plagued the design, and the ejection system was removed when the frame was refitted for high-G maneuvers. However, the craft is respected for its anti-[[DropShip]] mission and [[House Steiner]] has invested heavily in production. When supported by other fighters to fend off enemy fighters, the ''Lucifer'' is a very effective machine.<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The LCF-R15 is laser-heavy, with two [[Large Lasers]], four [[Small Laser]]s, and one [[Medium Laser]], all provided by the Maxell corporation. This variant also comes equipped with the Holly Long-Range Missile 20-Rack, providing it with that far off capability to soften up a [[DropShip]]'s armor, so that the four Small Lasers can do increased damage on the close-up pass.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;LCF-R16 : The [[3052]] LCF-R16 upgrades the armor with [[Ferro-Aluminum]], and improves the craft's weapons: The four small lasers are replaced by 2 [[Streak SRM-2|Streak SRM-2s]], the rear-firing medium laser is upgraded to a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and the large lasers are upgraded to [[ER Large Lasers]]. The new ''Lucifer'' also includes [[Double Heat Sink|Double Heat Sinks]] and [[Artemis IV FCS]]. BV (1.0) = 1,424<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 269</ref> (1,418)<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 112</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,443<br />
<br />
*;LCF-R20 : This [[2609]] Lyran version places more armor and three additional heat sinks, at the expense of the LRM rack, in order to increase the combat loiter time necessary for anti-[[DropShip]] operations. BV (1.0) = 1,441<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 272</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 115</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,536<br />
<br />
*;LCF-R16K : The LCF-R16K ''Lucifer II'' was based on captured LCF-R15s and LCF-20s. The ''Lucifer II'' sacrifices armor and the LRM-20 in order to upgrade the power plant to a Manatwist 260. It also has a close range SRM-6 rack. BV (1.0) = 959<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 270</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 113</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,109<br />
<br />
*;LCF-R16KR : The LCF-R16KR ''Lucifer II'' is a major upgrade over the original LCF-R15. This variant is protected with [[Ferro-Aluminum]] armor, and saves mass with a 260 [[XL Engine]] and removal of the LRM-20. Compared with the LCF-R15, the craft adds two [[SRM-6|SRM-6s]], upgrades the large lasers to [[ER Large Laser|ER Large Lasers]], upgrades the small lasers in each wing to a single [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and the rear-facing medium laser to a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], but drops some armor<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 68</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3057'', p. 184</ref>. BV (1.0) = 1,301<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 271</ref> (1,303)<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 114</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,399<br />
<br />
*;LCR-3 ''Lucifer III'' : This version of the ''Lucifer'' is roughly based on the experimental LCF-X30. This version mounts the same Extended LRM-10 systems in each wing and Medium X-Pulse Laser for aft coverage, but the main weapon system is the nose-mounted [[Bombast Laser]]. Twenty-one tons of Ferro-Aluminum armor has been installed, and an XL Engine provides a great deal of thrust, the communications system was changed to an [[O/P AIR 900]]. BV (2.0) = 2,356<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 177</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: Prototypes'', p. 90</ref><br />
<br />
*; '''Lucifer III''' C : After [[Clan Jade Falcon]] captured Shipil, they changed the design of the ''Lucifer III''. The fuselage is protected by [[Ferro-Lamellor]] armor. The weaponry was removed and replaced by a pair of [[ATM-9]] launchers, [[Medium Pulse Laser]], and an [[ER PPC]] with [[PPC Capacitor]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 224</ref><br />
<br />
===Custom Variants===<br />
*;LCF-X30 : Developed by the [[Shipil Company]] on [[Skye]], the LCF-X30 is a test-bed for [[Experimental Technology]]. Replacing the standard engine with an XL version and swapping the standard armor for [[Ferro-Aluminum]] was the starting point. Removing the standard weapon load for the ''Lucifer'' was the next step. In place of the standard weapons, the LCF-X30 carries a [[Binary Laser Cannon]] in the nose, an [[Extended LRM-10]] in each wing for long range hitting power, while a [[Medium X-Pulse Laser]] covers the rear arc. Only two are known to be undergoing testing. BV (1.0) = ?? BV (2.0) = 1842<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Mercs'', p. 13</ref><br />
<br />
==Design Quirks==<br />
The LCR-3 ''Lucifer III'' variant is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name=TRO:Proto/><br />
* [[Difficult Ejection]]<br />
* [[Easy to Pilot]]<br />
* [[Rumble Seat]]<br />

==Description==<br />
Instantly recognizable by the forward swept wing design, the '''''Stingray''''' (nicknamed the ''Slantback'') is a prized fighter in the [[Inner Sphere]]. An experimental fighter just before the fall of the [[Star League]] with a wing design based upon a 21st century Terran conventional fighter, the ''Stingray'' is found among [[House Steiner]] and [[House Marik]] forces, although every [[Successor State]] has a few of the nimble fighters in inventory. Noted for maneuverability and stability, the ''Stingray'' is not fast but is deadly with its heavy armament.<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
A Hellion-b II [[Medium Laser]] and Hellion-a III [[Large Laser]] fill out each wing, while the massive Sunspot [[PPC]] is mounted in the nose. This gives the ''Stingray'' great long range firepower, and the PPC is perfect for attacking grounded [[DropShip]]s or armor. BV (1.0) = 1065, BV (2.0) = ??<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;F-90S : A [[2911]] [[House Steiner]] variant that replaces the PPC and one heat sink with an [[Autocannon/5]]. This was an attempt to stop the craft's nose heavy tendencies, but the autocannon only increased the stresses on the airframe. BV (1.0) = 1,036<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 264</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 102</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,108<br />
<br />
*;F-92 : With Andurien Aerotech making use of advanced technology to upgrade its already popular aerospace designs, the new F-92 ''Stingray'' produced in [[3050]] at their [[Andurien]] and [[Oriente]] facilities switches to [[Double Heat Sink]]s to cool the pair of Hellion-a III [[ER Large Laser]]s and Magna Sunspot [[ER PPC]] replacing their older standard counterparts. <ref name=OR1>''Objective Raids'', p. 118</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,435<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 265</ref><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 103</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,537<br />
<br />
*;F-94 : Developed in [[3052]] by fellow League based manufacturer [[Gutierrez Aerospace]], the 94 carries a different weapons array, features an Diverse Optics Sunbeam ER Large Laser and a Hellion-V Medium Laser mounted in the nose supported by a further Medium Laser and Irian Weapons Works Class 10 [[LRM-10]] rack on each wing. While carrying a ton of reloads for each launcher, this variant can only boast moderate endurance due to standard heat sinks.<ref name=OR2>''Objective Raids'', p. 137</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,085<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 266</ref> (1,106)<ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 104</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,276<br />
<br />
*;F-95 : A modern taken on the F-90 developed in [[3069]] by Gutierrez that was due to enter service in [[3069]], the F-95 is clad in [[Ferro-Aluminum]] armor and mounts nineteen double heat sinks to cope with heat generated the [[Heavy PPC]] in the nose and the ER Large Laser on each wing. <ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 206</ref> BV (1.0) = 1,078<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 267</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,597<br />
<br />
*;F-96R : This [[3132]] variant carries a trio of [[Large Re-engineered Laser]]s into combat. BV (2.0) = 1,258<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 208</ref><br />
<br />
===Custom Variant===<br />
*;''Stingray'' Michael : Designed to overcome its pilot's shortcomings, the ''Stingray Michael'' removes the standard weaponry and replaces it with a [[Large Pulse Laser]] in the nose and a pair of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s in each wing. To dissuade enemy pilots from following too closely, a standard Medium Laser is mounted in each wing facing aft. All of these weapons are integrated into a [[Targeting Computer]] to improve their performance. With a reduced heat curve, the ''Stingray Michael'' trades several heat sinks for additional armor. BV (1.0) = 1,323<ref>''Record Sheets: Unique Fighters'', p. 3</ref><br />

== Description ==<br />
The '''Sniper Artillery Cannon''' is a scaled down version of the [[Sniper Artillery Piece]] capable of direct fire. When mounted on BattleMechs, combat vehicles, and AeroSpace Fighters, it provides artillery support at much closer ranges than its cousin. Essentially a snub-nosed version of the Sniper Artillery Piece, the Sniper Artillery Cannon fires a shell at an enemy location like an autocannon. Unlike an autocannon, the artillery cannon's targeted location isn't an enemy unit but a physical location (hill, tree, hex).<ref name="TOp285"/><br />
<br />
== Rules ==<br />
<div class="gamerules"><br />
== Game Rules ==<br />
Errata in Tactical Operations now states that the Artillery Cannons may only use standard artillery munitions. As an area-affect weapon, the Sniper Cannon may not benefit from a targeting computer. Artillery Cannons use the Indirect LRM Fire rules to determine target numbers, but Artillery Cannons cannot make Indirect Artillery attacks. Missed shots scatter like standard artillery, but divide the scatter distance by one half to account for the smaller propellant charges.<ref name="TOp285"/><br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Predator Tank Destroyer''' is the modern version of a [[Succession Wars Era]] [[Combat Vehicle]], which was originally produced for the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Designed around a single weapon, the vehicle was made as a stop gap replacement during a time where [[House Liao]]'s combat vehicle forces were being depleted. <br />
<br />
The tank was first designed during last few years the [[Second Succession War]]. It would serve until [[2974]], when during the battle of [[Spica]] the tank's glaring flaws would come to light. The planet's militia forces using the tank were soundly defeated during a skirmish against the armor elements of the [[5th Syrtis Fusiliers]]. The Predator would soon fade away and be replaced with the [[Hetzer]]. <br />
<br />
It would not be until the [[Victoria War]], where a revised modern version of the Predator would appear again. This new standard version of the tank proved its worth with improved armor and a long-ranged main gun.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p.14 Predator Tank Destroyer - Background</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Predator Tank Destroyer''' is the modern version of a [[Succession Wars Era]] [[Combat Vehicle]], which was originally produced for the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Designed around a single weapon, the vehicle was made as a stop gap replacement during a time where [[House Liao]]'s combat vehicle forces were being depleted. <br />
<br />
The tank was first design during last few years the [[Second Succession War]]. It would serve until [[2974]], when during the battle of [[Spica]] the tank's glaring flaws would come to light. The planet's militia forces using the tank were soundly defeated during a skirmish against the armor elements of the [[5th Syrtis Fusiliers]]. The Predator would soon fade away and be replaced with the [[Hetzer]]. <br />
<br />
It would not be until the [[Victoria War]], where a revised modern version of the Predator would appear again. This new standard version of the tank proved its worth with improved armor and a long-ranged main gun.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation'', p.14 Predator Tank Destroyer - Background</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
[[Kallon Industries]], famous for designing some of the most popular anti-aircraft [['Mech]]s in the [[Inner Sphere]], designed the '''Partisan''' to bring those same capabilities onto a cheaper, more easily produced vehicle. Dedicated to destroying aircraft, its targeting systems can track up to 200 units at once, compute the optimal target, and link to the targeting systems to other Partisans in the unit. The targeting controls are even removable, allowing its crew to work from a safer distance.<br />
<br />
While slow and lightly armored, its role tends to keep it in rearward locations, where this is less of a liability. The Partisan is deployed throughout the Inner Sphere, although most of them are found in the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Federated Suns]].<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Partisan's four turret-mounted Flak [[Autocannon/5]]s are supplied with two tons of airbursting shells that are optimized for destroying aircraft (see [[Flak]] ammunition). However, they prove more than capable at providing direct fire support when needed, and can even be used to shoot down enemy missiles.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', p. 78</ref> Additionally, it carries twin [[Machine Gun]]s for defense against infantry.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;AC/2 : An experiment at increasing its effectiveness, introduced in [[3002]] the AC/2 Partisan replaces the quad AC/5s with five [[Autocannon/2]]. BV (1.0) = 327<ref name=CO120 />, BV (2.0) = 580<br />
<br />
*;LRM : Another attempt to improve the standard Partisan, this [[3017]] version replaces the autocannons with four [[LRM-15]] launchers. BV (1.0) = 768<ref name=CO120 />, BV (2.0) = 1,021 <br />
<br />
*;Air Defense : The Partisan Air Defense Tank is a significant upgrade designed to engage and destroy [[Clan]] fighters. The older [[GM]] Superload [[ICE]] was replaced by a compact GM Super [[fusion engine]]. Its armor was replaced with advanced Kallon Unity Weave [[Ferro-Fibrous Armor]], drastically increasing its protection. A [[C3 Slave Unit]] provides for better coordination with the rest of its unit, increasing accuracy. Finally, its weapons complement was replaced with twin [[Imperator Code Red]] [[LB 10-X AC]]s partnered with a pair of Imperator Smoothie [[Autocannon/2]]s for long range fire. BV (1.0) = 588 (C3: 130)<ref name=CO120 />, BV (2.0) = 923<ref name=TRO:3058Up112>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', p. 112,</ref><br />
<br />
*;Lance Command : The [[3058]] lance command variant of the Partisan Air Defense Tank upgrades the C3 slave unit to a [[C3 Master]] unit. To make room for this upgrade, the twin Imperator Code Reds were replaced with a pair of [[Ultra AC/5]]s. BV (1.0) = 503 (C3: 105)<ref name=CO120 />, BV (2.0) = 836<br />
<br />
*;Company Command : The company command variant of the Partisan Air Defense Tank fits two C3 master units inside its hull. It drops the twin Smoothie ACs to make room for these complex systems. BV (1.0) = 585 (C3: 104)<ref name=CO120 />, BV (2.0) = 920<br />
<br />
*;RAC : Mounting a pair each of [[Rotary AC/5]]s and [[LB 2-X AC]]s, the [[3067]] RAC variant of the Partisan is able to pump out a significant amount of gunfire in a short amount of time. It also adds another ton of armor for increase durability. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = ??<br />
<br />
*;XL : The XL variant of the Partisan utilized an ultra compact 240 GM [[XL engine]], freeing up considerable space. Mounting twelve tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, twin LB 10-X ACs, and twin [[Ultra AC/2]]s, the only stumbling block seems to be its hefty price tag. BV (1.0) = 712 (C3: 143)<ref name=CO120 /> BV (2.0) = 1,171<br />
<br />
*;Quad RAC : This [[3069]] variant also uses an XL engine, but mounts four [[Rotary AC/2]]s, a [[Targeting Computer]], and a [[C3 Slave]] unit to trade targeting data. The armor protection has been increased by nearly 45% over the base XL variant.<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 134</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,296<br />
<br />
*;Fuel Cell (AC) : This version of the Partisan uses an [[Technology Rating|advanced]] [[Fuel Cell]] engine in place of the standard ICE. The weapons complement has also changed, carrying a pair of LB 10-X ACs and two AC/2s. For close in defense, this version of the Partisan carries a pair of [[Machine Gun]]s and a single [[Anti-Missile System]]. A C3 Slave allows the Partisan to share targeting data. BV (2.0) = 980<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 47</ref><br />
<br />
*;Fuel Cell (LRM) : Based on the standard LRM version, this variant of the Partisan carries four [[LRM-15]]s slaved to [[Artemis IV]] guidance systems. A Fuel Cell engine powers the tank, and like the Autocannon variant, this version carries a pair of Machine Guns, AMS, and C3 slave. BV (2.0) = 1,303<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 48</ref><br />
<br />
*;Hull Defense : This [[Experimental Technology|experimental model]] is designed to operate on the surface of a [[WarShip]], in effect as a mobile turret. Thus, it has been [[Environmental Sealing|environmentally sealed]] against a vacuum. [[Blue Shield Particle Field Dampener|Particle Field Dampener]]s and [[Reflective Armor|laser reflective armor]] provide the Partisan with phenomenal defense against the energy weapons typical of aerospace fighters, but leave it vulnerable to ballistics. Two [[Large X-Pulse Laser]]s provide the necessary punch to knock out incoming fighters. To coordinate with other units, it carries a [[C3 Boosted Slave]].

*;Nike : This variant of the Partisan focuses on firepower rather than the command and coordination abilities of later models. By using less-expensive technology, customers who couldn't afford a Partisan still get a solid anti-aircraft platform. Using a [[Armored Chassis|modified support vehicle chassis]], a [[Fuel Cell]] engine provides a top speed of 54 kp/h while thirteen tons of [[BAR|BAR 9]] armor provides protection against most weaponry. Offensively, the Nike carries a pair of [[Light AC/2]]s and a pair of [[LB 5-X AC]]s with each weapon backed by a two ton ammunition bay. Due to the bulkier nature of some components the Nike weighs 90 tons - ten tons heavier than its inspiration. BV (2.0) = 688<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: RetroTech'', p. 11</ref><br />

*;C3 : Many militias during the FedCom Civil War who were unable to pay the much higher price tag for the upgraded Partisans modified their originals by removing the [[machine guns]] and adding in a [[CASE]] system to protect the crews from an ammunition explosion, while also installing a [[C3 slave]] to create a inexpensive C3 lance mate. To compensate for the obsolete weapons, militias invest in various special munitions, making the guns more accurate and powerful on the cheap.

== History ==<br />
=== Fourth Succession War ===<br />
At the start of the Fourth Succession War the '''''Fifth Amphigean Light Assault Group''''' was stationed on the world [[Harvest]] alongside the mercenary unit [[Helmut's Hermits]] and a considerable number of supporting regiments. The regiment was taken by surprise by the attack of the [[First Lyran Regulars]], the [[Third Lyran Regulars]] and the [[Fourth Donegal Guards]] during [[Operation Gotterdammerung]]. The Fifth LAG was eventually being forced to retreat to [[Kirchbach]]. However, the [[LCAF]] attacked Kirchbach during the exploitation phase. Kirchbach was defended by the Fifth Amphigean LAG and two additional DCMS 'Mech units, Helmut's Hermits and the [[Seventeenth Rasalhague Regulars]]. The Lyran task force consisted of the [[Tyr Regiment]], [[Winfield's Brigade]], the [[Fourth Donegal Guards]] and the [[Third Lyran Regulars]]. The DCMS units were driven off-world in short order after the Seventeenth Regulars had been crushed by the Tyr Regiment.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 45, "Draconis Front - Harvest"</ref><ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 60, "Draconis Front - Kirchbach"</ref><br />
<br />
=== War of 3039 ===<br />
==== Vega ====<br />
In April [[3039]] Vega was hit by the [[Federated Commonwealth]]s [[Third Davion Guards]] and [[Third Lyran Guards]] regiments. The Fifth LAG and the [[Fourteenth Legion of Vega]] were forced off world.<ref name="H:Wo3039p32">''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 32, "Wave One - Vega (April-June)"</ref><br />
<br />
=== Clan Invasion ===<br />
The Fifth was shattered during the [[Clan Invasion]] when [[Clan Ghost Bear]] attacked [[Krenice]]. The Fifth did severe damage to the [[Twelfth Bear Chevaliers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twelfth Bear Chevaliers]] when they first landed, and proceeded to launch a series of raids on their supply lines and ran a series of hit and run assaults. The Ghost Bears were able to flush the Fifth out of their hiding places via air support, and forced the Fifth to move across the continent away from their DropShips. The Fifth's commander dispatched smaller groups to slow the pursuing Bears by hitting them in the flanks. The Fifth was driving towards the city of Hasnorvan while stringing out and attacking the Bears. Unfortunately the Bears had lifted an assault Trinary to the city and occupied fortified positions. When the Fifth reached the city, they were caught in a crossfire that destroyed them.<ref name="ICp36+">''Invading Clans (sourcebook)'', pp. 36-37, "Krenice (DC)"</ref><br />

<br />
== Vehicle Description ==<br />
The '''Centipede''' Scout Car was produced by [[Gienah Combat Vehicles]] & [[Red Devil Industries]] in [[3053]]. The vehicle is intended for reconnaissance ahead of its command unit, spotting hidden units.<br />
<br />
It was originally created as a replacement for the [[Skulker]] Scout vehicle, since [[Clan Ghost Bear]] had captured [[Alshain]] and, subsequently, the older vehicle's production facilities, in [[3051]]. The design evolved from a simple Skulker upgrade to a completely new vehicle. It first saw service with [[AFFC]] forces in [[3054]]. The vehicle was produced at Gienah's plant on [[Gienah]] and Red Devil's plant on [[Pandora]]. However, the vehicle earned a reputation for the poor quality of Red Devil-produced vehicles.<ref name=TRO3058p12>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 12</ref><br />
<br />
During the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3064)|Jade Falcon Incursion]] in [[3064]], the vehicle's Pandora factory fell to [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. Vehicle production completely stopped in [[3068]], when the Gienah plant was severely damaged by Free Worlds League mercenaries. <br />
<br />
== Deployment ==<br />
On test runs the vehicle was deployed with the [[AFFC]]. The first notable action came from the vehicles used on [[Saiph]] in [[3054]] by [[5th Lyran Guards]]. The 5th Lyran Guards fought off a raid by the [[Free Worlds League|Free Worlds League's]] [[1st Free Worlds Guards]]. The outnumbered Lyran forces utilized the their Centipedes to scout ahead and keep League forces from ambushing them. The Centipedes were used during the two-week siege to scout the League forces' rear areas.<ref name=TRO3058p12/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Centipede is protected by 3.5 tons of [[Standard Armor]]. The vehicle is equipped with a single Defiance B3M [[Medium Laser]] in the front. It is also fitted with a rear-mounted Zippo [[Flamer (Vehicle)|vehicular flamer]] for anti-infantry use, with a ton of fuel. However, for the Centipede's principle task of scouting, it has been fitted with a [[Beagle Active Probe]]. Using its 130 kph maximum speed, the hover car is able outrun anything it may conceive as threat and report back to its allies.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;TAG : Introduced during the [[FedCom Civil War]] in [[3067]], this customer-ordered variant was first provided to the [[7th Donegal Guards|7th Donegal Guards's Armor Brigade]]. This variant replaces the vehicle's Medium Laser in favor for a [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]]. The vehicle has increased armor protection and receives a [[Guardian ECM]]. BV (1.0) = 149<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 71</ref>, BV (2.0) = 325<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 13</ref><br />
<br />
*;SRM : Also introduced during the FedCom Civil War in [[3062]], this is a battlefield-created variant. All the Centipede's original equipment is removed in favor for six front-mounted [[SRM 2|twin-tubed short range missile launchers]] and a ton of ammunition. The vehicle's armor has been slightly increased from the base model. BV (1.0) = 301<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 71</ref>, BV (2.0) = 431<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 13</ref><br />
<br />
*;Commando : An updated variant, this version of the Centipede was released in [[3074]]. It carries four tons of [[Glazed Armor]] for protection, as the engineers thought it would likely take fire from energy weapons. A [[Guardian ECM Suite]] confuses enemy targeting systems as well. Additionally the Centipede Commando is equipped with an [[Armored Motive System]] that makes it less vulnerable to destroyed hoverskirts. Engineers also replaced the expensive [[fusion reactor]] with a [[Fuel Cell]] power source that can propel the Centipede Commando at up to 140km/h. The standard weapons were replaced by a pair of turret mounted [[Magshot]]s. These ballistic weapons allowed engineers to remove the power amplifiers and heat sinks needed by other Centipede versions while still providing some harassing fire capability.

==Description==<br />
The '''Manticore''' is one of the best-designed and most powerful tanks ever created, built to combat [[BattleMech]]s in support of infantry formations. Although the Manticore mounts a variety of weapons to handle a variety of combat roles and ranges, and is heavily armored for a vehicle of its weight, it is not equipped to deal with the raw firepower of super-heavy vehicles such as the [[Demolisher]] or the [[Behemoth (Combat Vehicle)|Behemoth]]. Despite this, the popularity of the Manticore has remained high, even during the [[Succession Wars era]] with its use of an expensive and rare [[Fusion Engine]].<ref name=TRO3026>''Technical Readout: 3026'', pp. 64-65</ref><ref name=TRO3026R>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', pp. 68-69</ref><ref name=TRO3039>''Technical Readout: 3039'', pp. 74-75</ref><br />
<br />
Originally developed by TechniCorp during the [[Reunification War]], the destruction of the companies head office on [[Terra]] during the [[Amaris Coup]] spread the Manticore across the [[Inner Sphere]] as other manufacturers absorbed their facilities.<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The tank's main weapon is the Parti-Kill [[PPC]], backed up by a SureShot Mk VI [[SRM-6]] rack. The SRM is mounted on top of the main turret, just above and behind the particle cannon. It is mounted on vertical and horizontal swivel mounts, giving the pack a full 120-degree arc of fire independent of the turret. Both PPC and SRM are supported in their respective range brackets by a [[LRM-10|Far Fire Medium Missile Rack]] and OMI High Burn [[Medium Laser]].<ref name=TRO3026/><ref name=TRO3026R/><ref name=TRO3039/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;Lyran 3058 : With the rediscovery of [[Star League]] [[lostech]], [[Defiance Industries]] developed an upgraded version that focuses using advanced tech to improve the tanks weapon array, while retaining as much of original design as possible to ensure easy field upgrade of existing Manticores. The PPC was replaced with a [[Large Pulse Laser]], trading a reduction in range for increased accuracy. The removal of the Medium Laser and associated [[heat sink]]s in exchange for a [[Streak SRM-2]] rack frees up space and weight to add [[Artemis IV FCS]] to the original SRM and LRM racks. For increased survivability, Defiance increased the Manticore's protection by upgrading its armor to Durallex Super [[Ferro-Fibrous]].<ref name=TRO3058>''Technical Readout: 3058'', pp. 54-55</ref><ref name=TRO3058U>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', pp. 98-99</ref> BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 957<br />
<br />
*;LBX : Manufactured by NETC based on unproduced plans licensed from Defiance Industries in [[3060]], this new construction variant replaces the Streak SRM-2 from Defiance's upgrade with a [[Medium Pulse Laser]], mounting a [[LB 10-X AC]] and [[Streak SRM-6]] in the turret, making it an effective anti-[[Battle Armor]] support unit during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 964<br />
<br />
*;C3 Master : Developed by Bulldog Industries in [[3063]], this variant replaces the SRM launcher with a [[C3 Master Computer]] and additional armor, also reverting the pulse laser back to the standard PPC. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 934<br />
<br />
*;C3 Slave : A second C3 variant developed by Bulldog, this replaced the SRM with [[C3 Slave]] and a [[Streak SRM-4]], again also using a PPC instead of large pulse laser. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,008<br />
<br />
*;RAC : A experimental version developed in [[3069]] by Jalastar, this variant replaces the large pulse laser and LRM launcher with an [[RAC/5]] and a [[Targeting Computer]], also switching out the Streak launcher for two [[ER Medium Laser]]s. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,241<br />
<br />
*;HPPC : Produced in [[3074]] during the [[Jihad]], this variant uses a [[Heavy PPC]] mated to a Targeting Computer as its main firepower. A [[Light Fusion Engine]] freed enough weight to add an [[Anti-Missile System]], and the existing missile systems have been replaced by an [[MML-7]] and 2 tons of ammo.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 190</ref> BV (2.0) = 1,149<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 41</ref><br />
<br />
===Custom Variants===<br />
*;The Ballista : Developed on [[Galatea]], ''The Ballista'' is equipped with [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor, [[CASE]], and a [[Combat Vehicle Escape Pod]] to protect the crew. A [[XL Engine|240 XL]] engine with a [[Supercharger]] gives it a top speed of 86 km/h. The [[C3 Slave]] module in the body allows the ''Ballista's'' crew to share targeting data with lancemates, which is very useful given the long range offered by the turret-mounted [[Hypervelocity Autocannon/5]] and [[Extended LRM-10]]. All these [[Experimental Technology|experimental technologies]] improve the lifespan of the ''Ballista'' in combat.

<br />
==Description==<br />
Introduced in [[2952]], the '''Behemoth''' was designed for increased firepower and heavy armor rather than speed or maneuverability. The design allowed the Behemoth to engage both distant and short-range targets, while allowing it to stand up to almost any type of unit possible.<ref name=TRO3026>''Technical Readout: 3026'', pp. 80-81, "Behemoth Vehicle Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3026R>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', pp. 83-84, "Behemoth Vehicle Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3039/><br />
<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The two turret-mounted SarLon MaxiCannon [[AC-10]]s enable the Behemoth to deal out a great deal of damage at a long distance. The four front-mounted LongFire Light Missile Racks increase this damage potential, particularly in the forward arc of fire. For closer targets, two Harvester 20K [[SRM-6]] packs are mounted on the turret and the Behemoth boasts two ball turrets, each mounting one Harvester 2K [[SRM-2]] and two MainFire MiniGuns. The final two Harvester 2K SRM-2 packs are mounted in a half-turret on the front of tank.<ref name=TRO3026/><ref name=TRO3026R/><ref name=TRO3039/><br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Nacon Armored Scout''' was created by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] to act as a recon unit. Instead of using expensive [[BattleMechs]] for recon, this armored scout allows a Falcon commander to find an opponent and direct heavier units into combat. With a top speed of 162 km/h, the Nacon can quickly find an enemy force and disengage. Protection comes from five tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous Armor]], which provides enough protection for quick escapes. However, the rear armor can only withstand a single [[PPC]] hit while the front face can withstand more than four PPC hits. This has encouraged some crews to engage heavier forces head on.<br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Nacon uses a single [[ATM-6]] with two tons of ammunition for its main striking power against heavy targets. The missile system is backed up by two [[Light Machine Gun]]s for anti-[[infantry]] and anti-[[battle armor]] work. The relatively light weaponry apparently is used to discourage pursuit rather than engage in a front-line battle.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
There are no variants of the Nacon as of [[3145]].<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*The ''Nacon'' was first created by [[Wizkids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its Falcons Prey expansion set. The figure was used by main four factions during the release as a common combat vehicle. The Nacon was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].<br />

== Description ==<br />
The '''''Zephyros''''' [[Infantry]] Support Vehicle (abbreviated '''Zephyros ISV'''), was a [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Combat Vehicle]] produced on [[Kirchbach]] in the early 3080s after the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] had ended. The vehicle was conceived as a means to be able to shore up the [[Clan]]'s conventional forces after being cut off from the [[Pentagon Worlds|Clan Home Worlds]].<ref name="TRO:3085p134+"/><br />
<br />
Powered by a 180-rated [[Fusion Engine]], the Zephyros is a speedy vehicle. Five and a half tons of “Magnum” [[Ferro-Fibrous]] Composite has been used to protect the vehicle from enemy fire. In addition, the vehicle employs a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] to help deal with more electronically sophisticated opponents.<ref name="TRO:3085p134+"/><br />
<br />
== Weapons and Equipment ==<br />
The Zephyros's main weaponry is a pair of Series 2b [[Extended Range Medium Laser]]s that is mounted in the vehicle's turret. Also found in the turret is a pair of [[Light Machine Guns]] that gives the vehicle the means to fend off infantry elements. It carries one ton of ammunition for these weapons.<ref name="TRO:3085p134+"/><br />
<br />
== Variants ==<br />
*;Dual-Turret : An [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] tech variant developed in [[Introduction Year::3086]] changes the weapons layout of the vehicle. The vehicle's light machine guns are moved into a [[Pintle Mount|Pintle]]-mounted turret found at the rear of the vehicle. The forward turret's weapons are downgraded to standard [[Medium Lasers]]. A half ton of ammunition is removed to make room for the additional turret mechanism<ref name="TRO:3085p134+"/>.

==Description==<br />
The '''''Sea Skimmer''''' has a very specific combat role: counter-insurgency operations and civilian shipping protection on planets whose surfaces contains large bodies of water. In an age with very few wet navy ships, normally local forces would use land-based hovercraft or armed civilian ships, as these are quite inexpensive in comparison to designing and building a dedicated military water craft. It was surprising then, on the eve of the [[Third Succession War]], to see a new design for a military hydrofoil emerge on the planet [[Skye]], especially since there was no insurgent activity on Skye which would justify such costs. Instead the creation of the ''Sea Skimmer'' was the result of bored young rich men wishing to wear fancy uniforms and avoid being drafted into the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] as mere cannon fodder after [[Archon]] [[Elizabeth Steiner]] invoked the Military Disaster Act. With the help of their [[Social General]] fathers, members of the New Glasgow Yachting Club convinced the LCAF to create the 348th Reserve Detachment of the Skye Militia, with the caveat that they fund and equip themselves as they saw fit. The LCAF relented, thinking they'd get a light infantry unit out of the deal, only to be surprised when the yacht club contracted Skye Pleasure Craft Ltd. to build twelve ''Sea Skimmers'' for themselves. For the next several years the 348th would keep Skye "safe" from the [[Draconis Combine]] by patrolling the waters around New Glasgow, accompanied by "civilian observers" of course.<ref name=TRO3026R/><ref name=TRO3039/><br />
<br />
When the Draconis Combine did invade Skye in [[2895]], despite expectations the 348th and their ''Sea Skimmer'' vessels acquitted themselves well. In truth the hydrofoil was faster and better armored than the LCAF's standard ''[[Silverfin]]''-class cutter, and the yacht club members put those advantages to good use. Mobilized to protect the city of Inverness in the Mantty River Delta, the 348th used their vessels to conduct raids behind Kuritan lines and provide fire support for desperate infantry units. In the end, the last two operational ''Sea Skimmers'' were lost in a suicide mission to halt a Combine breakthrough by using one-kiloton nuclear demolition charges to destroy the Mantty River Dam and flood the river delta. This heroic sacrifice helped drive the Kuritans off Skye and convince the LCAF to contract Skye Pleasure Craft to build more ''Sea Skimmers'' for other Lyran border worlds where it would continue to see use, including many unofficial variants.<ref name=TRO3026R/><ref name=TRO3039/><br />
<br />
==Armament==<br />
The ''Sea Skimmer'' is a typical hydrofoil craft, using a standard displacement hull with three mounted wings, or foils, on the bow, port and starboard sides of the vessel. Retracted when operating at low speeds, the foils are lowered to lift the hull up out of the water and allow the ship to travel in excess of 190 km/h. Its primary weapon is a turret-mounted [[SRM-4|Coventry 4 Tube Missile System]] with one ton of reloads, capable of a 360-degree field of fire. To provide close-in protection the ''Sea Skimmer'' mounts Sperry Browning [[Machine Gun]]s on the port and starboard sides as well as the stern and carries a half-ton of ammunition. It is protected by two tons of armoring.<ref name=TRO3026>''Technical Readout: 3026'', pp. 24-25, "Sea Skimmer Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3026R/><ref name=TRO3039/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
* Sea Skimmer (SRM) - This unofficial modification removes the Sperry Browning machine guns and replaces them with an [[SRM-2]]. Also, the turret-mounted Coventry 4 Tube Missile System is downgraded to an SRM-2 to save room and share ammunition. BV (2.0)= 363 (SRM-2)<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 18</ref>, BV (2.0)= 321 (SRM-6)<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039'', p. 18</ref><br />
<br />
* "Sniper" Sea Skimmer - This prototype carries a single [[Extended LRM-5]] in the turret. To make room for the launcher, the "Sniper" removes all of the close-in weaponry, trades the ICE engine for a [[Fusion Engine]], and replaces the standard armor protection with two tons of [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor. Though it retains the high speed of the original Sea Skimmer, the Sniper's paper thin armor and lack of close range weaponry relegates it to shore bombardment duties. BV (2.0) = 322<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Corporations'', p. 10</ref><br />
<br />
* Sea Skimmer (ELRM) - This version of the ''Sea Skimmer'' uses a fusion engine, but reduces the top speed to 150km/h. Three tons of [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor provides protection. The hydrofoil's only weapon is a single [[Extended LRM-10]], fed from a two ton ammunition bay. This may limit its role to fire support, but it's still a valuable unit. BV (2.0) = 556<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 35</ref><br />
<br />
==Design Quirks==<br />
The ''Sea Skimmer (ELRM)'' variant is subject of the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref name=TRO:Proto/><br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Hawk Moth II Gunship''' is a light-class [[Combat Vehicle]], originally produced in the early years of the [[thirty-second century]]. A design produced by a collaborative effort between Michaelson Heavy Industries of [[Terra]] and Victory Conditions Industries of [[Mizar]], the ''Hawk Moth II'' was created as a high-speed [[VTOL]]. The craft was intended to be the spiritual successor to Michaelson's original ''[[Hawk Moth]]'', produced in the [[thirty-first century]]. Unlike its predecessor however, the ''Hawk Moth II'' plays the role of a harasser and acts as a conventional interdiction aircraft used against ground forces.<br />
<br />
The ''Hawk Moth II'' would be sold to the major powers and mercenary forces of the [[Inner Sphere]], often placed in supporting roles within [[Combined Arms]] formations. Such craft have been deployed in planetary raids where at times, teamed up with other variants, a number of them undertook both scouting missions and the pursuit of fleeing combatants.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 12 Hawk Moth II - Background.</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
One of the few similarities the ''Hawk Moth II'' shares with its namesake is its speed. Powered by a 135-rated Michaelson Extra-Light Fusion Engine, the VTOL can move at excess of 183 kph. Combining this high speed with four tons of highly damage-resistant StarSlab/7 Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, the craft can be guaranteed a chance to perform its role.<br />
<br />
The ''Hawk Moth II's'' weaponry is intended for intermediate and close range engagements. This light assortment consists of a pair of [[Chin Turret]]-mounted Diverse Optics Extended Range Medium Lasers and a pair of front-mounted Harpoon 6-tubed Short-Range Missile Launchers. Though the damage output from this arsenal is not incredible, it does give the ''Hawk Moth II'' respectable harassment capabilities, and is certainly adequate for a scouting role.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 12-13 & 65 Hawk Moth II - Stats.</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 335 Hawk Moth II Gunship - Stats.</ref><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;''Hawk Moth II Gunship (MML)'': A simple upgrade from the standard model, this version, introduced in [[3114]], drops both Harpoon 6-tubed SRM Launchers. Instead, this variant features a pair of [[MML 5|5-tubed Multi-Missile Launchers]] with two tons of ammunition. BV(2.0)=851<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 12, 66 Hawk Moth II - Hawk Moth II (MML).</ref><ref>[http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/6697/hawk-moth-ii-gunship-mml MUL Profile of Hawk Moth II (MML) variant - BV2 & Introduction Year.]</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 335 Hawk Moth II (MML) - Stats BV2.</ref><br />
<br />
*;''Hawk Moth II Gunship (Sniper)'': Not a popular model among ''Hawk Moth II'' pilots, this version drops all of the original's weapons. In their place is a single [[HVAC 2|Class 2 Hypervelocity Autocannon]], provided with 30 rounds of ammunition. To assist the VTOL in attaining a position from which to snipe its targets, this variant of the Hawk Moth II is fitted with a [[VTOL Jet Booster]], which can briefly push the craft to speeds of 220 kph. BV(2.0)=490<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 12, 67 Hawk Moth II - Hawk Moth II (Sniper).</ref><ref>[http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/6698/hawk-moth-ii-gunship-sniper MUL Profile of Hawk Moth II (Sniper) - BV2 & Introduction Year.]</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 337 Hawk Moth II Gunship (Sniper) - Info.</ref><br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The ''Hawk Moth II'' was originally conceived of by [[Wizkids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectible Miniatures]] game as a part of its Dominion expansion set. Visually different from its namesake, the figure was simply named the "MHI Hawk Moth". It would be used as a general Combat Vehicle for a number of Inner Sphere and Clan factions in the CGC game. The VTOL would later be adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].<br />

The vehicle was originally conceived as an OmniVTOL by [[Luthien Armor Works]] in mid-3060s, however the company found it difficult to pull off. After LAW's destruction, Wakazashi Enterprises of [[Dover]] purchased the plans for the OmniVTOL, but decided to go with a standard VTOL design after their own difficulties. With some aid from [[Clan Nova Cat]], the Yasha came into fruition.<ref name="TRO:3085p18+"/> <br />
<br />
The Yasha was designed to use a [[C3 Slave Unit|C3 Slave Computer]] to help its lancemates to spot enemy units. The VTOL is protected by 3.5 tons of Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, with [[CASE]] protection for its ammunition.<ref name="TRO:3085p18+"/><br />
<br />
Due to financial problems of House Kurita, Wakazashi had to put the Yasha on sale to any Inner Sphere power to purchase. When it first was produced, it was expected that Nova Cats would be among those whom would purchase the vehicle for their own use.<ref name="TRO:3085p18+"/><br />
<br />
== Weapons and Equipment ==<br />
The Yasha's main weapon is its Lord‘s Light 3 Heavy Particle Beam Weapon mounted on its front. As a backup weapon, it also mounts a light machine gun also fitted in its front. This was seen as a means of giving the VTOL the ability to combat light infantry forces.<ref name="TRO:3085p18+"/><br />
<br />
== Variants ==<br />
*;Interdictor : This variant was created as an Electronic Warfare Aircraft and introduced in [[Introduction Year::3085]]<ref name="MUL2"/>, fitted with a [[Guardian ECM]] and [[Beagle Active Probe]]. The craft's weaponry is re-arranged to allow for the new role. The Heavy PPC is exchanged for a pair of [[Artemis IV FCS|Artemis IV]] guided [[MML-7|MML-7 Launchers]] with 3 tons of ammunition.<ref name="TRO:3085p18+"/> BV (2.0) = 631<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 18</ref><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3611/yasha-vtol-interdictor/ MUL online data for the Yasha VTOL (Interdictor) variant]''</ref><br />
<br />
*;Spectre : This is a [[Experimental Technology|Experimental Tech]] version of the Yasha also introduced in [[Introduction Year::3085]]<ref name="MUL3"/>. This variant uses [[Vehicular Stealth Armor]] and a [[Light Gauss Rifle]]. This combination makes the vehicle into a stealthy sniper craft. As a requirement to make the Stealth Armor functional, the vehicle comes with a Guardian ECM Suite. The Spectre is not as liked due to it being less armored than its sister designs, despite its stealth abilities.<ref name="TRO:3085p18+"/> BV (2.0) = 677<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 19</ref><ref name="MUL3">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3610/yasha-vtol-spectre/ MUL online data for the Yasha VTOL "Spectre" variant]''</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
The '''''Strix Stealth VTOL''''' is a light attack [[VTOL]] designed for the [[Republic of the Sphere]] in the early [[31st Century]].<br />
<br />
The ''Strix'' was a gift from displaced former [[Clan Nova Cat]] refugees who left the [[Draconis Combine]] after the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]] and settled on the various worlds in the Republic of the Sphere. In [[3117]], four handcrafted prototypes were presented to [[RAF]]'s [[2nd Triarii Protectors|Second Triarii Protectors]] by Technician Pádraig of Nova Cat enclave on [[Shitara]], who made them as thanks for settling his people in the Republic of the Sphere. The 2nd Triarii conducted test trials with the vehicles to see if they would make a suitable addition to the Republic's arsenal. <br />
<br />
After successful test trials, [[StarCorps Industries]] was granted the license to produce the ''Strix'' on [[Terra]] in 3118. After the vehicle was accepted into production, the ''Strix'' would be used exclusively within the Republic, deployed with Republic's special ops units such as [[Black Torrent]] and the [[Republic Special Scouts]]. Initially, the [[Federated Suns]] was granted access to the design. Later, after the collapse of the [[HPG]] network in 3132, the design would be spread across the Inner Sphere as the Republic's outer territories fell to invaders.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 51 - Expanded Strix background from 3150.</ref> <br />
<br />
The ''Strix's'' creation also helped to paved the way for the Republic to update its commercial companies to use Clan grade technology and create further advanced units, such as the ''[[Doloire]]'' [[OmniMech]] to be made possible in later years. <ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 1'', pp. 9, 23 Strix Stealth VTOL - "Background information. Including when the vehicle was placed into production and by who."</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The ''Strix'' is the product of a mixture of [[Clan]] construction with some components that are Inner Sphere in origin. Powered by a conventional [[Fusion Engine]], the vehicle is able to reach flank speeds of 110kph, however the [[VTOL Jet Booster]] can help the vehicle reach speeds in excess of 140kph, at least for short periods of time. This gives the edge to crew who need to evade and keep a keen eye on a mission objective and helps them stay out of the reach of enemy units that are trying to eliminate them. While not the best protected among vehicles of its weight class, the ''Strix'' has 4 tons of Inner Sphere made Stealth Armor, giving it protection from medium to long range attacks while giving modest protection from damage. Additionally, ammunition for the vehicle is protected by [[CASE]] in the main fuselage. Helping to identify enemy units, the craft is fitted with a [[Watchdog Combined Electronic Warfare System]], which gives it Clan-grade detection and electronic jamming capabilities few Inner Sphere units can match. <br />
<br />
The ''Strix's'' main long-range firepower comes in the form of a single forward mounted Class-2 Ultra Autocannon, with a single ton of ammunition. While in-close range combat, the ''Strix'' relies on two Extended-Range Small Lasers which are mounted in the vehicle's [[Chin Turret]]. A [[Targeting Computer]] is mated with the weapons, granting the VTOL improved accuracy, especially when its crew needs to move the vehicle quickly.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 1'', pp. 9, 23 Strix Stealth VTOL - "Stats and Mechanical information."</ref><br />
<br />
==Design Quirks==<br />
The ''Strix'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]];<br />
*[[VTOL Rotor Arrangement (Dual)]]<br />
*[[Non-Standard Parts]]<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
The '''Quaestor Mobile Tactical Command HQ''' was a [[32nd Century|Thirty-second Century]] [[Combat Vehicle]], which was originally an inexpensive command vehicle that could be exported to allies and second line troops. The Quaestor was designed by Duncan Enterprises, who managed to convince the [[Republic of the Sphere]] leadership to allow the company to create the vehicle. The business plan was to save costs of production and design by using existing components being used to build the more advanced [[Praetorian]] and [[Tribune]] Mobile HQ vehicles.<br />
<br />
This hybrid of the two advance vehicles, proved to be a boon for [[RAF|Republic's]] Standing Guard units due to its ruggedness and the ease of maintaining it. While not a perfect command vehicle, it was proven to be a good seller and was sold across the Inner Sphere. However, one blight on its history would be that one of these vehicles was used by [[Capellan Confederation]] [[Death Commandos]] in the ambush that killed [[Kai Allard-Liao]] during the [[Capellan Crusades]]. <br />
<br />
Due to its association with that ambush, it became clear that the vehicle had truly become widespread throughout the Inner Sphere, and the decision was made to sell the more advanced Praetorian and Tribune vehicles to nations friendly to the Republic.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 1'', p. 8 Quaestor - Unit background information.</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Duncan Enterprises used the chassis of the Praetorian as the basis of the vehicle. Engineers would end up stripping out the heavier vehicle's more advanced gear and armor to reduce costs. This left the Quaestor sharing the same dimensions and general appearance of the larger vehicle, although thirty tons lighter and far roomier inside. Powered by a 180-rated Fusion Engine, the vehicle is able move up to 90+ km/ph, the same speed as the Tribune. For its role as a command vehicle, the Quaestor matches the Tribune's 5-tons of [[Communication Equipment]], giving the command staff the ability to jam enemy transmissions, provide advance intelligence allowing units tied into the vehicle to gain the initiative on enemy troops via satellite connections, remote relays and more. Additionally a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] is fitted giving it an additional boost in electronic warfare capacities. The vehicle's crew must use its swift speed to help improve its odds of surviving in battle, this partially due to the vehicle being armored with six tons standard armor, which gives it only modest protection should it be ambushed.<br />
<br />
The vehicle's limited form of self-defense comes from an Extended-Range Small Laser mounted in the main turret, with a pair of machine guns each mounted in one of the vehicle's two [[Sponson Turrets]].<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 1'', pp. 8, 22 Quaestor - Unit Stats and capacities.</ref><br />
<br />
==Design Quirks==<br />
The Quaestor Mobile Tactical Command HQ vehicle has the following [[Design Quirks]];<br />
*[[Poor Performance]]<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*The Quaestor is published only in Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 1, with a Record sheet. The image of the Praetorian was used as the official image of the vehicle.<br />
<br />
*The vehicle was first created by [[Wizkids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its original release of the game, the set was later called simply the ''Dark Age'' release. The vehicle was amongst the few which were given then [[Classic BattleTech]] stats for use in the game, appearing in the [[Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I]] as the Mobile Tactical Command HQ.<ref>[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/ask-the-writers/old-mwda-record-sheet-book-question/?topicseen Official BattleTech Forums regarding the Quaestor - Confirmation that Mobile Tactical Command HQ vehicle (From RS: Mechwarrior Dark Age I) is now the Quasestor.]</ref><br />
<br />
*It was much later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3095]]. There was very limited information regarding this vehicle until the XTRO: Republic II was published, including its formal name.<br />
<br />
*The only advanced gear was the Sponson Turret, however this would be regulated as Tournament Legal as of 3079.<ref>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 206, "Jihad Technology Advancement Table/Turrets" - Sponson Turret re-rated from Experimental to Tournment Legal as of game year 3079.</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
Capable of scouting, providing ECM cover and calling in artillery support from other units, the '''Kite Reconnaissance Vehicle''' was marketed as an all-in-one solution by [[Clan Sea Fox]]. The Kite was a successful replacement for the aging [[Odin]], whisper-quiet even when moving, easier to maintain and cheaper to both purchase and operate.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp16+"/><br />
<br />
The Kite was designed to track up to five priority targets with full telemetry, but the excellent sensor suite was capable of tracking more than a [[Trinary]] of independent targets and offered exceptional performance when it came to rooting out hidden units, performing noticeably faster than other units. The Neil 9000 communications system made tracking the Kite a frustrating experience, while the Kite could use a combination of its high mobility and five and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor to protect itself from damage if the ECM/ECCM systems failed to deter or defeat attacks, calling in artillery fire all the while. The [[Armored Motive System]] built into the Kite helped keep the vehicle mobile and functioning.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp16+"/><br />
<br />
The Sea Foxes sold the Kite to other [[Clan]]s in the [[Inner Sphere]] as well as to Inner Sphere nations such as the [[Republic of the Sphere]], producing Kites from their factories on [[Twycross]], [[Ingersoll]] and [[Shimonita]].<ref name="TRO:3145Mp16+"/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Kite mounted a pair of Tau-II [[Anti-Personnel Gauss Rifle]]s and a Light TAG system in its turret; installed on the front of the Kite were a pair of Pattern Alpha SRM 2 Launchers. Stored inside the body of the Kite was a ton of ammunition for each pair of weapon systems.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp16+"/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
There were no variants of the Kite in service by [[3145]].<ref name="TRO:3145Mp16+"/><br />
<br />
==Design Quirks==<br />
The Kite was subject to the following [[Design Quirk]]:<ref name="TRO:3145Mp16+"/><br />

== Description ==<br />
The '''Tufana''' hovercraft was built initially for the [[Principality of Regulus]]' armed forces just after the [[Jihad]]. The vehicle was conceived to be used as a spotter for fire support elements of a unit. Due to its qualities, Regulans initially screen potential crewmembers to make sure team oriented personnel would be assigned to the Tufana, ensure the vehicle's team doctrine was followed.<ref name="TRO:3085p20+"/> <br />
<br />
The vehicle uses its [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] and [[Narc Missile Beacon]] to aid its lance-mates in use of artillery and [[Semi-Guided LRM]]s. It is protected by 4.5 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, however it’s the vehicle's speed that provides for most protection from enemy fire.<ref name="TRO:3085p20+"/> <br />
<br />
Sales of the ''Tufana'' would expanded to include former [[Free Worlds League]], [[Capellan Confederation]], and [[Magistracy of Canopus]] states.<ref name="TRO:3085p20+"/><br />
<br />
== Weapons and Equipment ==<br />
The ''Tufana'''s main offensive weapon is its turreted mounted 7-tubed multi-missile launcher. The launcher was given 4 tons of ammunition in order to give its crews various ammunition types to choose from. Also found in the turret are the TAG designator and NARC Missile Launcher. The NARC beacon has been given 2 tons of ammunition.<ref name="TRO:3085p20+"/><br />
<br />
== Variants ==<br />
*;INarc : A requested variant introduced in [[Introduction Year::3083]]<ref name="MUL2"/>, which is highly popular with the Capellan Confederation. The vehicle's NARC launcher is swapped for an [[Improved Narc Missile Beacon|Improved NARC Missile launcher]]. To make room for the iNarc missiles, the vehicle's MML is downgraded to a [[MML-3|3-tube launcher]]. A pair of [[Medium Pulse Lasers]] are mounted in the turret to make up for the downgrade of the multi-missile launcher. Lastly, the vehicle has a pair of [[ER Small Laser|Extended Range Small Lasers]] mounted in the nose.<ref name="TRO:3085p20+"/> BV(2.0) = 756<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 21</ref><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3313/tufana-hovercraft-inarc/ MUL online data for the Tufana Hovercraft (iNarc) variant]''</ref><br />

The '''Scimitar MK II''' Hover Combat Vehicle (HCV) is the successor to the original [[Scimitar]]. The vehicle has superior speed to the original [[Scimitar]]. The new version of the venerable combat vehicle began to appear at the dawn of the [[thirty-second century]]. Originally, this upgraded version of the Scimitar served as part of the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s [[Republic Armed Forces]], being produced by Scarborough Manufacturers' [[Al Na'ir]]. Many of these vehicles were salvaged over the decades after the [[Jihad]], and found their way into warring political militia factions in the [[Republic of the Sphere]] by [[3132]].<br />
<br />
However, with the fall of Al Na’ir to the [[Draconis Combine]] in [[3135]], it had since been integrated in [[DCMS]] and serving along with other sister vehicles of Scarborough Manufacturers famous trio of hover tanks. <ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 14 Scimitar Mk.II - Background</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Unlike its Autocannon-armed predecessor, the MK II is given an array of short-range laser weaponry in its front. These lasers are backed up with a Four-Tube Short-Range Missile Launcher found in the turret. The principal weaponry is found with Four Diverse Optics Type 10 Small Lasers, with a Diverse Optics Extended Range Small Laser to round out its firepower.<br />
<br />
For anti-infantry work, the vehicle has been given a pair of mini-machine guns.<br />
<br />
The Scimitar MK II's increased speed is thanks to its 175-rated Fusion Engine, which is protected by 6.5 tons of StarGuard II Standard armor. To round out the vehicle's protection and aid friendly vehicles, the Scimitar MK II utilizes a [[Guardian ECM Suite]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 14-15, 65 Scimitar Mk.II - Stats</ref><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;Scimitar MK II (BC3) : An [[Technology Rating|Advanced]] tech variant of the standard Mark II. This version can act as advanced scout and spotter, featuring a [[Boosted C3 Slave Unit]] and a slight increase of armor. This is added at the cost nearly all of its weapons save its turret mounted SRM 4 launcher and a newly added [[Light PPC]]. BV(2.0)=665<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 14, 66 Scimitar Mk.II - Stats</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 121</ref><br />
<br />
*;Scimitar MK II (3136 Upgrade) : Slight upgrade from the original MK II, this variant adds a Light PPC to the vehicle's turret. The Light PPC gives the Upgrade well needed long-range capacities the original sorely lacks. However, the vehicle's ER Small Laser and machine guns are dropped.

<br />
==Notes==<br />
The Scimitar MK II was first created by [[Wizkids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its original release of the game, the set was later called simply the ''Dark Age'' release. The vehicle was amongst the few which were given then [[Classic BattleTech]] stats for use in the game, appearing in the Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].<br />
Some of the information listed here was strictly from the dossier sheet produced for various characters profiles released with the MechWarrior game. <br />

==Description==<br />
The '''''Saracen'' Mk II HVC''' is a [[thirty-second century]] updated version of Scarborough Ltd's old [[Third Succession War]] [[Saracen|design]] by the same name. Produced in [[3137]] alongside the company’s other hovertank designs, the new Mk II version of the tank became highly popular among [[Draconis Combine|Draconis Combine's]] forces, initially with the [[Ryuken Regiments]]. The tank — along with its other famous trio of tanks — became a staple unit of many of the [[DCMS|DCMS's]] vehicle formations. The ''Saracen Mk II'' would see significant action in the Combine's initial campaign in the heavily-contested [[Draconis Reach]] region.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 12 Saracen MK II HVC - Background.</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Powered by a 175-Rated Omni Fusion Engine, the power plant would allow the ''Saracen Mk II'' to go 33 kph faster than the original design. The tank's armor, though only a ton less than its predecessor's 7 tons of armor, makes up for it with superior protection by using Heavy Ferro-Fibrous instead of [[standard armor]].<br />
<br />
The tank's main battery is a single Doombud 7-Tube Multi-Missile Launcher, which is mounted in the turret. While not having a large number of missile launchers, the flexible Doombud's 2 tons of ammunition makes up for it with heavy throwing power in both short and long ranges. Backing up the launcher is a pair of Diverse Optics Extended-Range Medium Lasers, also found in the turret, giving the tank a reliable and prolonged source of firepower to allow it to remain combat-effective should its ammo bins run dry.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 12-13 & 63 Saracen MK II HVC - Stats.</ref><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;''Saracen Mk II (BC3)'' : Introduced in [[3138]] by the request of the [[DCMS]], the BC3 variant is a networked version of the standard model. Not as heavily armed as the standard model, the [[Technology Rating|advanced tech]] variant is armed with the [[MML 5|5-tubed Multi-Missile Launcher]] instead of the 7. Also to make room for the [[Boosted C3 Slave Unit]], engineers would have to drop one of the tank's ER Medium Lasers.

==Description==<br />
The '''Randolph''' is an early combat vehicle that was developed near the dawn of the Age of War, just after [[2300]].<ref>''XTRO: Primitives, 2'' - Vehicle introduction year approximately [[2300]].</ref> The vehicle's intended mission was to support frontline troops as a transport/support vehicle. The Randolph was produced Inner Sphere wide, seeing service in various factions and private units. The vehicle remained in service up to the [[Reunification War]], however it was phased out of service due to its obsolete equipment by end of that war.<ref>''XTRO: Primitives, ''2 - Background of the vehicle, note it was given Quirk:obsoletion/2500.</ref><br />
<br />
==Equipment and Capabilities==<br />
The Randolph is armed with 3 machine guns with [[Basic Fire Control]], one of which is mounted in the front and the others on both sides. The vehicle is protected by 2 tons of BAR 5 grade armor, which was considered good armor protection when it was first introduced into service. Aside from the vehicle's 9 ton cargo capacity, it can tow additional cargo or field artillery.<ref>''XTRO: Primitives, 2'', p. 10 - Vehicle's weapon and capacities noted in fluff.</ref><br />
<br />
It has been noted that a number of these vehicles have been converted into ambulances and command vehicles.<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The Randolph features Tractor Chassis Modification, with following [[Design Quirks]]: [[Easy to Maintain]], [[Modular Weapons]], and [[Obsolete|Obsolete/2500]]. It is built as a primitive combat vehicle, which is similar to construction rules for support vehicles.<br />
<br />
As of this writing, the only a record sheet for the vehicle that is found in the original PDF. The variants noted in the fluff have not been stated as of yet.<br />
<br />
The vehicle's image was originally used for the [[Rock Rover|'''RRV "Rock Rover"''']].<br />

==Description==<br />
The '''MHI Amphibious APC''' is a light [[Combat Vehicle]]; it was designed as an amphibious [[infantry]] transport for planetary militia and other secondary forces. Designed by Michaelson Heavy Industries, the vehicle was conceived as part of the company's efforts to cash in to the post-[[Jihad]] era of militaries fully transiting to using more [[Combined Arms]]. The MHI Amphibious APC was produced in plants found on the worlds of [[Terra]], [[June]], and [[Ruchbah]] for a number of factions.<br />
<br />
The vehicle's specialized ability to forge across water makes it popular in militaries across the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 18 MHI Amphibious APC - Background</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Designed as an infantry carrier, its main feature is its Infantry Compartment. While passengers are not intended to remain aboard it for long durations, its 8 ton capacity allows it to be flexible in transporting modest-sized Infantry formations. The vehicle's standard 155-rated Fusion Engine, gives it decent speed to allow its crews to steer the vehicle away from the front lines. The 8-tons of armor is sufficient to keep the crew and its passengers safe from most incoming fire. The vehicle's other principle feature is its ability to be fully Amphibious, being able float and move anywhere in the water.<br />
<br />
With its only defensive/offensive weaponry being its Diverse Optics Extended Range Medium Laser, the vehicle must rely on escorts and its infantry compliment for additional protection.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 18-19 & 71 MHI Amphibious APC - Stats</ref><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*; Diggs Drone Control Tank : Created by [[The Republic of the Sphere]] this variant of the MHI Amphibious APC sacrifices the infantry bay for a larger [[Light Fusion]] engine, allowing it to reach a top speed of 96km/h. It retains the ER Medium Laser and actually increases armament by adding a pair of [[Light Machine Gun]]s to the turret. The tank is protected by seven and a half tons of [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor and an [[Angel ECM Suite]]. The [[Full Amphibious Equipment]] is also present. The most deadly feature is the [[Drone Carrier Control System]] that allows operators to control four drone 'Mechs or vehicles like the ''[[Revenant]]''. BV (2.0) = 785<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Republic, Volume 1'', p. 10</ref><br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The MHI Amphibious APC was originally conceived by [[Wizkids]] for its [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its Falcon's Prey expansion set. The figure would be used as a general combat vehicle used by number of factions used in the CGC game. The vehicle would later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].<br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Chaparral''' missile tank was introduced by Grumman Industries in [[2611]]. Designed to provide artillery support for the [[SLDF]] ground forces, the Chaparral frequently operated in places the larger [[Mobile Long Tom]] couldn't reach. The Chaparral was loved by the troops it supported because the shorter range of the [[Arrow IV]] meant that it was closer to the conflict and the missiles arrived more quickly.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 102-103, "Chaparrel Vehicle Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 204-205, "Chaparrel Vehicle Profile"</ref><br />
<br />
This proximity to the battlefield led the Grumman engineers to provide a decent amount of weaponry and armor protection, but they didn't forget the tank's primary mission. Though the Chaparral mounts five and a half tons of 1/Star Slab armor, its frontal protection is relatively light with 40% of the total armor protection mounted on the rear of the hull to protect the Chaparral as it withdraws.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
Between excessive [[ComStar]] red-tape on exports from Grumman's [[Terra]]n based factory and the Arrow IV system becoming [[LosTech]] to the general [[Inner Sphere]] in [[2830]] <ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 284</ref>, save for the Blessed Order's military stockpiles the Chaparral became all but extinct during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. This changed after the [[ComStar Schism]], with the tank being produced in the untold thousands for general sale across the entire [[Inner Sphere]], before the [[Word of Blake]]'s take-over of humanity's cradle restricted production exclusively for the [[Word of Blake Militia]].<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The primary armament of the Chaparral is the AIL Arrow IV launch system mounted in the hull. As the Chaparral lacks a turret, the launch system uses a pair of armored launchers that rise up out of the hull to fire, giving the design a sleek look when they are retracted. With three tons of magazine space, the Chaparral could carry both the homing Arrow IV missile and the unguided version. SLDF commanders however tended to prefer to use the guided missile as it was less likely to affect their own troops, matching the design with companion [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] equipped spotters such as the Grumman produced ''[[Zephyr]]''.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
Befitting its primary role, the Chaparral's secondary close weaponry is purely defensive rather than offensive. Carrying a Shapphire [[Medium Laser]] on each side to fend off flanking actions, a Shrike [[SRM-6]] launcher with a single ton of reloads is mounted directly aft to discourage pursuers.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />

<br />
==Description==<br />
The [[Star League]]-era '''Marksman''' was created as a fire support vehicle, specifically to carry the newly designed [[Sniper Artillery Piece]]. Initially, the vehicle was to use the older [[Thor (Combat Vehicle)|Thor Armored Fighting Vehicle]]'s chassis, but the weight of the Sniper forced the designers to start with a new design.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 108-109, "Marksman Vehicle Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 212-213, "Marksman Vehicle Profile"</ref><br />
<br />
As a successor to the Thor, the designers improved the design by trading the previous wheeled configuration for tracks. The tracks gave the ''Marksman'' more stability, as well as increased all-terrain capabilities. The short range of the Sniper means that the vehicle is more likely to be involved in direct combat than most artillery pieces. Correspondingly, a secondary combat computer was added to allow the Sniper to be used in direct-fire situations, as well as constructing the vehicle with seven and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, most of it concentrated on the front.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Star League & Succession War Eras===<br />
The vehicle entered service with the [[Star League Defense Force]] in [[2702]] and became its standard medium artillery piece. Unfortunately, the vehicle suffered from an early design flaw: due to faulty track locks, the vehicle tended to throw its tracks at flank speeds. The designers corrected the flaw, but over a thousand production units had been built before it was remedied. Although some of the original production vehicles were retrofitted, many never received the fix.<ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
Because of their poor reputation many of these ''Marksman'' were stripped for spare parts through the Succession Wars. The vehicle faded from service by the end of the [[Third Succession War]]. Only one surviving vehicle was left in service of a planetary militia in the [[Magistracy of Canopus]].<br />
<br />
===Late 31st Century===<br />
Grumman Industries, the original manufacturer of the ''Marksman'', merged with CRI Mechanical becoming [[Grumman-CRI]]. One of its first actions was to redesign the ''Marksman'' chassis. Grumman-CRI built a new manufacturing plant on [[Melissia]] for service of the [[Lyran Alliance]] by the late [[3060]]s, and ''Marksmans'' were being deployed to the borders adjoining the [[Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone|Clan Jade Falcon OZ]].<ref name=TRO3050U/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The ''Marksman's'' primary feature is its main battery, the [[Sniper Artillery Piece]]. The vehicle carries 20 rounds of ammunition for the Sniper. For defensive purposes, it also has a turret-mounted Large Laser.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;Marksman (Light PPC) : Armed with a Sniper Artillery piece, this Lyran-built [[3068]] variant swaps the original Large Laser for a [[LPPC|Light Particle Projector Cannon]]. Enhancing its close-in defense, the vehicle is equipped with four [[Heavy Machine Gun|Heavy Machine Guns]], two mounted in the front and two mounted in the turret. The original Magnus-260 was replaced with a [[Light Fusion Engine]]. BV (2.0) = 684<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrades Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 201</ref><br />
<br />
*;Marksman (AC) : Similar to the [[Thor (Combat Vehicle)|Thor AC refit]], this [[2801]] version of the ''Marksman'' replaces the Sniper Artillery piece with an [[Autocannon/20]], three [[Rocket Launcher 10|ten tube Rocket Launchers]], and two [[Rocket Launcher 15|fifteen tube Rocket Launchers]]. The large laser remains, and three tons of autocannon ammunition allow the Marksman to terrorize enemy forces. BV (2.0) = 976<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike'', p. 14</ref><br />
<br />
==Vehicles Notes==<br />
*''Fist of Justice'' - Part of the [[1st Skye Rangers]]' artillery company, the Fist of Justice Lance has been in service since [[3068]]. The lance is noteworthy for taking out sixty vehicles and 'Mechs over its brief history, without taking any serious injuries or damage. Part of their success is due to the use of [[VTOL]] spotter aircraft to home in on their targets. The lance is also known to close in on its enemies due to the Sniper's short-range. Two of the lance's commanders are former Mechwarriors.<ref name=TRO3050U/><br />

<br />
==Description==<br />
Designed in the last decades of the [[twenty-fifth century]], the '''Ballista''' Self-Propelled Artillery Tank was produced for the [[Terran Hegemony]] Armed Forces. Originally designed by Rivverson Technologies of [[Nanking]], the Ballista was considered the latest word in artillery vehicles. Vehicles produced during the time were considerably heavier, slower, and carried less protection than the Ballista. The vehicle would be deployed in the closing years of the [[Age of War]], its innovative design spurring the production of virtual clones for various Inner Sphere and Major Periphery nations. <br />
<br />
With the inception of the [[Star League]], the [[Star League Defense Force]]'s cobbled-together forces would soon purge these clone copies in favor of their originator to streamline logistics headaches. The vehicle soon became the standard SLDF mobile field artillery piece for centuries to follow, only being replaced by vehicles such as the [[Sniper Artillery (Combat Vehicle)|Sniper Artillery Vehicle]] and the [[Marksman (Combat Vehicle)|Marksman]] by the [[twenty-eighth century]]. The vehicle would remain in service (with minor updates), despite its ancient origin, through the [[Star League Civil War]] and well into the [[Succession Wars era]] with both the Inner Sphere and the [[Pentagon Powers]].<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 139-140 & 154 Ballista - Background</ref> Indeed the Ballista was still in service with various powers during the Jihad.<ref name=MU/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Designed solely as an artillery vehicle, it is appropriately armed with a Hegemony Arms DAT/91 Sniper Artillery Cannon mounted in the turret. The vehicle carries three tons of ammunition onboard, however with its trailer hitch it can transport additional ammunition. The Ballista's secondary weaponry only includes three KKL/h-12 Machine Guns, mounting two forward and one in the rear.<br />
<br />
Powered by a 165-rated Internal Combustion Engine, the vehicle is able to keep up at modest pace with other mobile support elements. Protecting the Ballista's hull is 7.5 tons of Quantum Heavy Plate, giving adequate protection against enemy fire should opposing forces manage to penetrate deeply behind friendly battle lines.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 139-140 & 154 Ballista - Stats.</ref><br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The vehicle's armament fluff classifies the individual Sniper weapon as a cannon. However, it is not a true [[Sniper Artillery Cannon]], which is lighter and shorter ranged than a regular Sniper Artillery Piece. The Ballista's record sheet and weapon break down shows that the Sniper Artillery weapon is in fact listed as an Artillery Piece.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', pp. 139-140 & 154 Ballista - ''Noting that vehicle's fluff name for its Sniper weapon is misleading, weapon is in fact regular Sniper Artillery Piece.''</ref> <br />
<br />
The Ballista is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<br />

*[[Easy to Maintain]]<br />
*[[Trailer Hitch]]<br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Thor''' was created for the [[SLDF|Star League Defense Force]] in [[2680]] in response to a need for mobile fire support. Specifications called for a vehicle that could travel at speeds of 80km/h on flat terrain and carry the [[Thumper Artillery Piece]]. The SLDF's [[Quartermaster Command]] chose the ''Thor'' because it was the only submitted design that met the 80km/h specification and due to its advanced [[CASE]] protection system, which allowed the crew and vehicle to survive an ammunition explosion. The vehicle was criticized initially for being limited to certain terrain types due to its wheeled configuration, but the vehicle's advantages outweighed its drawbacks.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', pp. 104-105, "Thor Vehicle Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3050R>''Technical Readout: 3050 Revised'', pp. 208-209, "Thor Vehicle Profile"</ref><br />
<br />
While the ''Thor'' cannot fire on the move, it can set up to fire in less than a minute and then move again in thirty seconds. An advanced trans-optical aiming system, used by spotters working with Thor artillery vehicles, allows for accurate fire over long range. The rate of fire of the Thor allows groups of them to level entire city blocks in a matter of minutes. While carrying seven and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, the vehicle relies on its speed for protection.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Star League & Succession War Eras===<br />
In [[2735]], [[Brooks Incorporated]] created a cheap knock-off of the ''Thor'', named the [[Thumper (Combat Vehicle)|Thumper]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 58-59, "Thumper profile page". </ref> These vehicles were also deployed by SLDF and Succession States armies. The vehicle proved its worth during the [[Amaris Coup]]. Ulston Armor of [[Terra]], which was the primary builder of the ''Thor'', was destroyed in [[2777]]. The war reduced the vehicle's numbers, while many would leave with [[Operation Exodus|Kerensky's Exodus Fleet]]. The remaining vehicles in the Inner Sphere were thought to be completely wiped out by the end of the [[Second Succession War]].<ref name=TRO3050U/><br />
<br />
===Clan Invasion Era===<br />
Many of the ''Thors'' that took part in Operation Exodus became part of the Clan second-line military units and were enhanced with advanced Clan technology.<ref name=TRO3050U/><br />
<br />
[[ComStar]] also had many of the vehicles stored on Terra's vast storage facilities, until the [[Battle of Tukayyid]] in [[3052]] when they were brought out of storage to fight.<ref name=TRO3050U/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The vehicle mounts a fifteen ton [[Thumper Artillery Piece]] with forty rounds of ammunition. For self-defense purposes, the vehicle has two Medium Lasers mounted on a elevated turret just above the main body.<ref name=TRO3050U/><ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3050R/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;C3i : ComStar refit of their vintage stockpile of ''Thors''. Removing the Medium Lasers, the ''Thor'' is left with only the Thumper Artillery Piece and 40 rounds of Ammunition. The vehicle is enhanced with a [[C3i]] network computer to allow better communication with its [[Lance]], in case an enemy unit gets too close. BV (2.0) = 482<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrades Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 194</ref><br />
<br />
*;Clan : Equipped with Clan technology, the ''Thor'' retains its original armament. It features two [[ER Medium Lasers|Clan ER Medium Lasers]] mounted in the overhang turret. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 830<ref>''Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrades Unabridged (Clan & Star League)'', p. 195</ref><br />
<br />
*;AC : This variant replaced the Thumper and medium lasers with an [[Autocannon/10]], 4 [[Machine Gun]]s, and 2 [[Rocket Launcher 20]]s. The autocannon was equipped with two tons of ammunition while the machine guns shared a single ton of ammo. BV (2.0) = 664<ref>''Record Sheets: Operation Klondike'', p. 13</ref><br />

==Description==<br />
The '''Kamakiri Attack VTOL''' was developed at the end of the thirty-first century by Yan Manufacturing of [[New Samarkand]] as a result of their growing success in the military aerospace market. Dubbed as resembling a praying mantis, the Kamakiri was an immediate success; the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] personnel responsible for supervising the first vehicle trial watched for just two minutes before approving the Kamakiri for purchase.<ref name="TRO:3145DCp20+"/><br />
<br />
Moving as fast as many reconnaissance and strike platforms in service with the DCMS already thanks to the DAV 155 XL extra light engine, the original specification armor installed by Yan was replaced with seven tons of StarGuard Aurora Reflective at the request of the DCMS, who wanted to improve the Kamakari's protection against energy weapons, although the nature of the [[Reflective Armor]] didn't offer any additional protection against the flak commonly directed at VTOLs.<ref name="TRO:3145DCp20+"/><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Kamakiri mounted three weapon systems mounted in the front of the VTOL - a single Tiegart [[Particle Projection Cannon]] and a pair of Telos ThunderShot Thunderbolt 10 Missile Launchers. Three tons of ammunition for the Thunderbolt Launchers was stored inside the body of the Kamakiri.<ref name="TRO:3145DCp20+"/><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*;Shi Kamakiri : Possibly designed specifically for the [[Ryuken]], the Shi Kamakiri replaces the weapons loadout of the standard Kamakiri with a single [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]] and three tons of ammunition.

==Design Quirks==<br />
The Kamakiri was subject to the following [[Design Quirk]]s:<ref name="TRO:3145DCp20+"/><br />

==Description==<br />
Designed in the last decades of the [[twenty-fifth century]], the '''Ballista''' Self-Propelled Artillery Tank was produced for the [[Terran Hegemony]] Armed Forces. Originally designed by Rivverson Technologies of [[Nanking]], the Ballista was considered the latest word in artillery vehicles. Vehicles produced during the time were considerably heavier, slower, and carried less protection than the Ballista. The vehicle would be deployed in the closing years of the [[Age of War]], its innovative design spurring the production of virtual clones for various Inner Sphere and Major Periphery nations. <br />
<br />
With the inception of the [[Star League]], the [[Star League Defense Force]]'s cobbled-together forces would soon purge these clone copies in favor of their originator to streamline logistics headaches. The vehicle soon became the standard SLDF mobile field artillery piece for centuries to follow, only being replaced by vehicles such as the [[Sniper Artillery (Combat Vehicle)|Sniper Artillery Vehicle]] and the [[Marksman (Combat Vehicle)|Marksman]] by the [[twenty-eighth century]]. The vehicle would remain in service (with minor updates), despite its ancient origin, through the [[Star League Civil War]] and well into the [[Succession Wars era]] with both the Inner Sphere and the [[Pentagon Powers]].<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 139-140 & 154 Ballista - Background</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Designed solely as an artillery vehicle, it is appropriately armed with a Hegemony Arms DAT/91 Sniper Artillery Cannon mounted in the turret. The vehicle carries three tons of ammunition onboard, however with its trailer hitch it can transport additional ammunition. The Ballista's secondary weaponry only includes three KKL/h-12 Machine Guns, mounting two forward and one in the rear.<br />
<br />
Powered by a 165-rated Internal Combustion Engine, the vehicle is able to keep up at modest pace with other mobile support elements. Protecting the Ballista's hull is 7.5 tons of Quantum Heavy Plate, giving adequate protection against enemy fire should opposing forces manage to penetrate deeply behind friendly battle lines.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 139-140 & 154 Ballista - Stats.</ref><br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
The vehicle's armament fluff classifies the individual Sniper weapon as a cannon. However, it is not a true [[Sniper Artillery Cannon]], which is lighter and shorter ranged than a regular Sniper Artillery Piece. The Ballista's record sheet and weapon break down shows that the Sniper Artillery weapon is in fact listed as an Artillery Piece.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', pp. 139-140 & 154 Ballista - ''Noting that vehicle's fluff name for its Sniper weapon is misleading, weapon is in fact regular Sniper Artillery Piece.''</ref> <br />
