==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Morrígú fire support vehicle''' was designed by [[Clan Blood Spirit]] to put as much fire into enemies as possible from as far away as possible. To do this, the Morrígú utilizes the efficient weapons favored by the Spirits, most famously on the ''[[Blood Kite]]''. It is named after a Celtic goddess of war.<ref name=TRO:3067/>

The fire support vehicle eschews the traditionally meager amounts of armor on [[Clan]] [[combat vehicle]]s, instead utilizing thirteen tons of Compound JX4. Since it is supposed to engage its enemies at range, the Morrígú is only capable of attaining 54 km/h. For added defense, an [[ECM Suite]] scrambles most enemy electronics.<ref name=TRO:3067/>

==Armament==
True to the specifications Blood Spirit engineers have stuck to for over a century, the Morrígú is an inexpensive vehicle that does not use extravagant weapons. Pairs of Series 1 ER Large Lasers and Type XV "Crossbow" LRM-15s put an impressive amount of fire downrange. Their inclusion in a turret ensures that they can used against targets at all angles. Protecting the flanks are a pair of Pattern J1 SRM-2s.<ref name=TRO:3067/>

*;Laser : The variant reduces the ammunition dependency of the Morrígú by replacing the missile launchers and ECM Suite with a third ER Large Laser.
