| − | The '''''Thug''''' was designed by [[Maltex Corporation]] as a direct competitor to the popular ''[[Warhammer]]'' [[BattleMech]]. First seeing production in [[Introduction Year::2572]], the ''Thug'' sought to directly address some of the challenges which faced the ''Warhammer'', chief of which was to increase armor protection without sacrificing firepower. When compared side-by-side, the ''Thug'' has a great many advantages over the ''Warhammer'', yet it never wholly replaced the venerable 'Mech. Still the ''Thug'' proved popular enough that [[Maltex Corporation]] was forced to contract [[Earthwerks Incorporated]] to produce the ''Thug'' on [[Keystone]] in order to meet demand. Although it has had its detractors, the ''Thug'' has proven itself for over five hundred years to be the quintessential "zombie 'Mech."<ref name=TRO2750>''Technical Readout: 2750'', | + | The '''''Thug''''' was designed by [[Maltex Corporation]] as a direct competitor to the popular ''[[Warhammer]]'' [[BattleMech]].

Unfortunately the same terrible conflict resulted in the loss of much advanced knowledge and technology, threatening their ability to keep even this meager production rate up. In a twist of fate it was the ''Warhammer'' which helped keep the ''Thug'' production line alive: with the loss of their original PPC weaponry, Earthwerks instead reworked the design to make use of the extensive stockpile of Donal PPCs used by the ''Warhammer'', allowing new ''Thugs'' to be built and repairs to be made more easily.<ref name=TRO2750/><ref name=TRO3025r/><ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/> |
Beyond the few still in service to the [[Great Houses]] the largest user of ''Thugs'' was [[ComStar]], a fact confirmed upon the reveal of their [[Com Guards]]. Eventually the recovery of [[lostech]] would allow both Earthwerks and Maltex to restart production of original-model ''Thugs'' during the 3050s. These were supplanted by new variants which, following the formation of the [[Second Star League]], were supplied to ComStar, the [[Second Star League Defense Force|SLDF]], the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Federated Suns]]. New ''Thugs'' were also built for the [[Word of Blake]] and those forces of the [[Free Worlds League]] aligned with them during the [[Jihad]].<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3050u/> | Beyond the few still in service to the [[Great Houses]] the largest user of ''Thugs'' was [[ComStar]], a fact confirmed upon the reveal of their [[Com Guards]].
