Description
Katherine Steiner-Davion decided during her reign over the Lyran Alliance that she wanted a four legged BattleMech that would evoke fear in its enemies in a similar vein to the classic Atlas and Banshee designs. To do this, the Barghest is built on an Earthwerk GRF Quad chassis that supports a Magna 350 XL engine that saves weight and allows the 'Mech to carry a heavy weapons payload. The Barghest is protected by thirteen tons of Durallex Heavy armor that protects it from all but the heaviest enemy fire. To handle the 'Mech's heat buildup from its weapons, the Barghest has ten double heat sinks.
Armament
The Barghest carries two BlazeFire Sweetshot ER Large Lasers that allow the 'Mech to hit a target at up to five hundred and seventy meters. For medium to close range combat, the Barghest carries a powerful Defiance Disintegrator LB-X Autocannon/20 that is capable of firing both standard ammunition and cluster rounds that act like 'Mech-sized shotgun shells. The 'Mech's simplicity is also a weakness, as the Barghest has only the two ER Large Lasers if the autocannon falls silent from a lack of ammunition or a jam.
Variants
- BGS-2T - The 2T removes the weapons of the 1T model and replaces them with a single ER PPC and an Ultra Autocannon/20. The ultra autocannon is capable of firing at twice the rate as a standard autocannon, giving the 2T an incredible amount of short range firepower. The Barghest has also gained an additional ton of armor protection, making the 'Mech even harder to take down on the battlefield. BV (1.0) = 1,340[1], BV (2.0) = 1,794[3]
- BGS-3T - The 3T variant of the Barghest utilizes the new Heavy Gauss Rifle as its primary weapon that is capable of striking at relatively long ranges with a great deal of firepower that increases as the 3T Barghest closes with its target. To back this up, the 3T has a single ER Large Laser and also has fourteen tons of armor. BV (1.0) = 1692[1], BV (2.0) = 1,900[4]
- BGS-7S - Developed during the Jihad, the 7S was improved over its predecesors with Advanced Technologies. The variant is geared to provide Fire Support to other lancemates rather it usual assault role the design plays. In place of its original weaponry, the 'Mech now has pair of Medium Variable Speed Pulse Lasers, pair of Light PPCs, and single Artemis IV enhanced 7-Tubed Multi-Missile Launcher with 2 tons of ammunition. In close up, aside from the MML, the 'Mech has a Extended Range Flamer mounted in the head, and rear-firing Medium Pulse Laser. BV (2.0) = 1,526[5]
