− | 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.
