Description
Built with the intention of showing solidarity in the spirit of the new Star League the Black Watch is the cumulation of the efforts of Cosara Weaponries, the Northwind highlanders and Captial Neil Campbell of the Royal Black Watch. The Black Watch is built on the same chassis as the classic Crockett which served with distinction in the old Star League Defense Force. The 'Mech is powered by the rugged and durable Strand 255 fusion engine giving the Black Watch a top speed of 54.0 km/h. For added mobility the Black Watch has three Rawlings 54 jump jets that allow the 'Mech to jump up to ninety meters.. The Black Watch has ten double heat sinks that are more then adequate for the needs of the Black Watch and has fifteen tons of Valiant Lamellor armor with CASE to protect the 'mech from ammuntion explosions.
Armament
The 'Black Watch carries a Imperator Light Gauss Rifle as its primary weapon allowing the Black Watch to engage an enemy at up to seven hundred and fifty meters. This is backed up by an Imperator Automatic Ultra Autocanon/10 that can fire at twice the rate of fire asd a standard autocannon. For medium tyo short ranges the Black Watch has a Shigunga MRM-40 launcher. The Black Watch has recieved some criticism due to its heavy reliance on ammuntion based weapons. To make the most of them though the Black Watch does carry a C3 slave unit to allow it to share targeting data with friendly units through a C3 network.
