RPT-2X RAP TOR II
Reports of “invisible ’Mechs” have long been ignored as flights
of fantasy, but in the months leading up to the Jihad, a spate of
rumors with a common theme have seemed too consistent to deny.
Unfortunately, it appears as if the rumors are all too true: the Word of
Blake has indeed developed a new type of mimetic “cloaking system”
capable of concealing a BattleMech the way they can their battle
armor. The latest field reports have led our sources to believe that this
so-called Void-Signature System actually hybridizes the Star League’s
advanced Null-Signature technology with a variation of the Word’s
mimetic armor design. Developed to not only hide the ’Mech from
electronic and thermal sensors, this technology can conceal a unit
from human eyes as well.
The single configuration of this “Stealth Raptor” identified to date carries two of the Word’s new variable-speed lasers and a single “taser” harpoon launcher, which suggests that the Raptor II is designed to operate as an ambush hunter—exploding from hiding to immobilize its unsuspecting target for a quick capture. A second variant incorporating ER lasers, Streak missiles, and a prototype Bloodhound probe is believed to exist, but has not been confirmed. Interestingly, however, the Manei Domini elite are not known to employ any of these prototype ’Mechs.
