==Description==
 
==Description==
When the [[Treaty of Taurus]] was signed, it established the [[New Colony Region]] in cooperation between the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and the [[Taurian Concordat]] and also created the [[Colonial Marshals]] to police this area and protect its citizens. Even with the spirit of cooperation, the most that could be provided to the Colonial Marshals were older [[BattleMech]]s in various states of disrepair. To remedy the problem, [[Taurus Territorial Industries]] was commissioned by [[Protector of the Realm|Protector]] [[Jeffrey Calderon]] to build the '''''Marshal''''', which would see service in both the Colonial Marshals and the [[Taurian Defense Force]].<ref name=TRO:3060/> <ref name=TP2p104>''The Periphery, Second Edition'', p. 104: "Rules MHL-1X Marshal"</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Marshal'' uses a standard internal structure and a standard [[Magna 220]] [[fusion engine]] that gives it a top speed of 64.8 km/h while also giving the 'Mech a great deal of survivability. The ''Marshal''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mobility is augmented with four [[Rawlings 55]] [[jump jet]]s that let it jump up to 120 meters. For protection, the ''Marshal'' carries 10 tons of [[Durallex Medium]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, giving it nearly the maximum amount of protection possible, though some critics have complained about the difficulty of replacing such advanced armor in the field.<ref name=TRO:3060/> <ref name=TP2p104/>

The ''Marshal'''s mobility is augmented with four [[Rawlings 55]] [[jump jet]]s that let it jump up to one hundred and twenty meters.

With an eye towards long isolated deployments the ''Marshal'' carries a weapons mix of mostly energy weapons. The only ammunition dependent weapons carried are two [[Sperry Browning]] [[machine gun]]s for crowd control and anti-infantry combat, and a [[Delta Dart]] [[LRM-5]] launcher to give it some long-range firepower. The 'Mech primarily depends on its [[Sunglow Type 2]] [[large laser]] for long-range firepower and a [[Diverse Optics Type 27]] [[medium pulse laser]] with a [[Diverse Optics Type 18]] [[medium laser]] for short-range combat. Finally, for clearing woods and also useful as an anti-infantry weapon, the ''Marshal'' has a [[Hotshot]] [[flamer]].<ref name=TRO:3060/><ref name=TP2p104/>

==Variants==
*; MHL-2L : By switching to [[double heat sink]]s, the 2L model of the ''Marshal'' is able to upgrade the [[LRM-5]] launcher to a much more powerful [[LRM-15]] launcher, tripling the damage capability of the ''Marshal''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s long range missile launcher and greatly increasing its combat effectiveness.

*; MHL-3MC : This variant of the ''Marshal'' was introduced during the [[Dark Age]]. It carries a [[TSEMP cannon]], [[MML-9]] with a three ton ammunition bay, two [[machine gun]]s, a [[flamer]], a [[medium laser]], and a [[medium pulse laser]]. It is otherwise identical to the original ''Marshal''. BV (2.0) = 1,714<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 130</ref>

*; MHL-6MC : This is a [[Magistracy of Canopus]] variant of the ''Marshal'' that was developed during the [[Jihad]]. This model saw introduction of a [[light fusion engine]], and some modern weaponry to the ''Marshal'''s arsenal. The right torso mounted [[medium pulse laser]] is retained, while a [[light PPC]], [[plasma rifle]], and an [[MML-9]] is introduced for ranged attacks. For dedicated anti-infantry work, the [[machine gun]]s are exchanged for pair of [[light machine gun]]s in a [[Machine Gun Array]].

*; MHL-6FR : A variant developed by the Colonial Marshals during the [[Fronc Reaches]] era, the 6FR mounts a [[snub-nose PPC]] in the right arm in support of three [[medium X-Pulse laser]]s in the left torso, rounded out by a head-mounted [[flamer]]. Built around a 220 rated [[light fusion engine]] and clad in [[standard armor]] plate, the 6FR is fitted with 15 [[double heat sink]]s and 6 [[improved jump jet]]s to give it greater longevity and mobility during battle.
