==Description==
 
==Description==
By the 3120s, the [[Hanseatic League]]'s industrial base had achieved pre-[[Jihad]] levels of technology. The governing Merchant Council decided that in recognition of their nation's achievement, an indigenous design should be made. The resulting design, the Surtur, was the first mech fully designed and built within their borders. It performs as a skirmisher and close-quarters melee fighter.

The '''''Surtur''''' is a fast Medium BattleMech developed by the [[Hanseatic League]] as their first homebrew design. By 3120s, the League industrial/technology levels had achieved pre-[[Jihad]] level of technology. The governing Merchant Counsel decided it was time of the reason was pride in their nation's achievement, as indigenous design should be made. The ''Surtur'' is designed as a Skirmisher, intended to get into close-quarters combat to render the enemies.
  
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Surtur'' is a close range attacker, so engineers fitted the design with an XL fusion engine to push the 'Mech to 90 km/h. A [[supercharger]] allows for a temporary boost in speed to 120 km/h, but the mech lacks jump jets. The 'Mech's armor protection includes an impressive twelve tons of standard armor. This ensures that the mech can survive high levels of weapons fire while approaching its target.

The ''Surtur'' is a close range attacker, so engineers fitted the design with a extra light fusion engine push the 'Mech to 90 kilometers per hour, with added [[supercharger]] for additional temporary boost in speed to 120 kp/h. The 'Mech's armor protection includes twelve tons of standard armor to help survive onslaught longer range fire so it can intercept it's target.
  
Firepower includes two SRM-6s with one ton of ammunition between them. Unfortunately, the mech lacks CASE and the ammunition feeds from the center torso, which can be viewed as a severe design flaw. Secondary weapons include seven Flamers, three mounted in each side torso and a single flamer in the left arm. Its signature weapon is a sword mounted in the right arm.<ref name=OTP:HC/>

It's firepower includes two standard side torso mounted 6-tubed Short-Range Missile Launchers with 1 ton of ammunition feeding from center torso. Energy weapons include seven Flamers, three found in the side torsos and single flamer in left arm. It's signature weapon mounted in the right arm is a sword.<ref name=OTP:HC/>
 
 
The ''Surtur'' boasts twelve double heat sinks, but even these struggle to keep the mech cool if all weapons are fired simultaneously.

As of this writing, there is no image for the 'Mech other than the silhouette of a [[:File:Wvr-9d wolverine.jpg|WVR-9D ''Wolverine'']] with sword added.

As of this writing, there is no image for the 'Mech other than a silhouette of a WVR-9K ''Wolverine'', which shares same tonnage and also mounts a sword.  
 
 
Tactically, it would appear that the unusual number of Flamers are intended to incapacitate enemy Mechs before they are finished off by SRM fire and sword strikes.
