Description
Designed in 2755, by the Hegemony Research and Development Department, Weapons Division of the original Star League to maintain the technological edge over the other Great Houses. The Atlas II, was exclusively for the SLDF's Royal Regiments. Technological counterpart to Regular SLDF's ASD-7 Atlas.
In 2785, when General Kerensky put call for loyal forces to join him in his Exodus, every Atlas II pilot responded and left with him-leaving none of this design behind. These 'Mechs are prized by Clans when they are found. One such 'Mech was spotted in 3052 during the Battle of Tukayyid.
In the early 3070s, the design was resurrected by the Word of Blake when they captured Hesperus II's factories. After the liberation of Defiance Industries, the company kept the 'Mech in production.
Armament & Equipment
The Atlas II is armed with an array of weaponry, including an medium calibur LB-X,a pair of Extended-Large Lasers, and a 20-tube Long Range Missile Launcher for range attacks. For close range combat, the 'Mech is equipped with a pair of Medium Pulse Lasers and a Holly Six Pack. In addition, the 'Mech been given CASE for both sides of the torso in order to keep an ammunition cook off from consuming the 'Mech.
The weapons payload gives the design more broad range attack ability versus the Atlas's brawling weaponry with its limited long range attack capacities.
