Description
Built by Meridian Manufacturing, the Arbiter is nothing more than a light WorkMech crafted to look like a large and impressive Heavy Battlemech. Despite its unremarkable nature, Meridian has been extremely successful in selling the design in battalion sized lots with a six-month back order.[2] The reason for this is their keen understanding of pirate psychology. Despite its thin armor and limited weaponry, the Arbiter is an intimidating sight that will quickly encourage most pirates to find an easier looking target.
Armament
The Arbiter is armed with a primitive Heavy Rifle. Obsolete and only six shots of ammunition, this primitive weapon is of limited use on a modern battlefield. Despite this, its large size and the cosmetic enhancement of its housing to make it look like a large, more dangerous weapon such as a Class 20 Autocannon or a Gauss Rifle.[3]
