The ''Cave Lion'' was first conceived as part of Clan Nova Cat's efforts to rebuild their war-torn ''[[Touman]]'' after the devastation of the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]]. After decades of waiting, the newly elected [[Khan]] [[Jacali Nostra]] convinced the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] in [[3120]] to give permission to start production on a new design. This would be Clan Nova Cat's first new design to enter production since the [[thirty-first century]]. The Nova Cats' resources had been limited due in part to restrictions the [[Draconis Combine]] had imposed on their rebuilding of production facilities. It would take outside aid to allow the production of the new design. They in turn sought aid from [[Clan Sea Fox]]'s [[Tiburon Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Tiburon Khanate]], who offered to upgrade production facilities in return for access to the ''Cave Lion's'' production. + The '''''Cave Lion''''' is a Heavy [[BattleMech]] manufactured by [[Clan Nova Cat]]. It was first sighted in early [[3135]] while being piloted by [[Kev Rosse]], [[Galaxy Commander]] of the [[Spirit Cats]]. There have been other sightings of this 'Mech, usually in [[Solaris VII]]'s arenas. − − The design phase of the ''Cave Lion'' was not without compromises due to the Sea Foxes' involvement, so Khan Nostra's vision of an energy-only design was changed to allow the Foxes to be able market the design in a broader market. Once produced, the design was a sign of renewal and resource-independence for the Nova Cats.<ref>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 39: Cave Lion - Background information on the Cave Lion</ref> − − In [[3143]], Clan Nova Cat's rebellion against the Draconis Combine would end in its destruction, leaving the fate of the ''Cave Lion's'' production in doubt.<ref>''[[Era Report: 3145]]'', pp. 22, 46: Nova Cat's demises and questions of the Mech future.</ref> As of [[3145]] the 'Mech design is the exclusive property of the Tiburon Khanate of [[Clan Sea Fox]]; they are reevaluating the design in an attempt to fix problems.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 170</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== ==Weapons and Equipment== − The ''Cave Lion'' was originally designed to be independent of needing resupply and to be able to be deployed for long durations in combat. Clan Nova Cat designed the 'Mech to be able to be constructed with locally produced resources so they did not have to depend on the Draconis Combine for aid in production.+ {{sectionstub}} − − To allow it to survive on the battlefield, the design was constructed with twelve tons of [[Laser Reflective Armor]] and carries an [[Angel ECM Suite]] to help it fend off various forms of attack. With the combination of a 375-Rated [[extralight fusion engine]] and [[Endo-Steel]], the ''Cave Lion'' is able to move at a modest pace for its time and to carry a wealth of weaponry and equipment. − − The 'Mech's arsenal includes a pair of [[Extended-Range Particle Projector Cannon]]s, one mounted in each of its side torsos. For close-range combat, the ''Cave Lion'' has a quartet of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s spread across its arms and side torsos. As part of the compromise to the Sea Foxes, the ''Cave Lion'' mounts a single [[ATM-3|3-tubed Advanced Tactical Missile launcher]] in the center torso. Protected by integrated [[CASE]] found in all [[Clan]] 'Mechs, the design's launcher has two tons of ammunition in its left torso.<ref name=ED:DAp40-45/> − − ==Design Quirks== − The ''Cave Lion'' has the following [[Design Quirks]]: − * [[Battlefists]] − * [[Distracting]] − * [[Difficult to Maintain]] − − ==Notable Pilots== − :''See [[:Category:Notable Cave Lion Pilots]]'' − − ==Notes== − * The ''Cave Lion'' was first created by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its Age of Destruction expansion set. The figure was at first an exclusive unit for the CGC game's Spirit Cats faction and then used again as a unique figure for the company's Gunslinger expansion. The 'Mech would later be adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]]. It would not be among the many adapted design from WizKids when Catalyst Game Labs released the [[Technical Readout: 3145]] series of faction-specific PDFs and printed volumes. It would finally received game stats for Total Warfare use, first in exclusively in [[Era Digest: Dark Age]], and later [[Technical Readout: 3150]]. − * As of this writing there are no variants produced at the time. − ==BattleMech Gallery== + ==Variants== − <gallery>+ {{sectionstub}} − file:Mechcavelion-c2.jpg|WizKids's original MWDA ''Cave Lion'' figure − file:Cavelionattacking.jpg|''Cave Lion'' attacking a ''[[Raider (BattleMech)|Raider]]'' ICE-BattleMech. − </gallery> ==References== ==References== − <references/>+ #Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction − + #BrickCommander [http://www.brickcommander.com/AoD-CaveLion.htm] − ==Bibliography== − * ''[[Era Digest: Dark Age]]'' − * ''[[Master Unit List]]'' − * ''[[Mechwarrior: Age of Destruction]]'' − * ''[[Technical Readout: 3150]]'' − [[Category:'Mechs]] [[Category:BattleMechs]] [[Category:BattleMechs]] [[Category:Heavy BattleMechs]] [[Category:Heavy BattleMechs]] [[Category:75 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:75 ton BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Nova Cat BattleMechs]] [[Category:Clan Nova Cat BattleMechs]] + [[Category:Dark Age Mechs]]
