Description
Developed by Clan Hell's Horses in 3132, the Boreas is an experimental Heavy Class hybrid Quad BattleMech / Combat Vehicle known as a QuadVee. Created by Hell's Horses scientist, the Mech has the ability to transform itself from a tracked combat vehicle into a quadruped BattleMech, benefiting some of the best qualities of both. Developed at the Csesztreg Industriplex Alpha Annex on Csesztreg. The Boreas first of its kind to be developed, it would be later by 3136 when production versions of the QuadVee would be fielded in combat for the first of its kind that was built with OmniPod technology.[1][4]
Weapons and Equipment
The Boreas utilizes a Standard 240-rated Fusion Engine move upward to 64 k/ph while in either Vehicle or BattleMech form. The vehicle is protected by 11.5 tons of armor, giving less than stellar armor for a typical Clan BattleMech.
Aside from its revolutionary conversion abilities, scientists also created a two-man cockpit. The cockpit is setup for pilot and gunner positions. This arrangement allows for the gunner to target multiple enemies with little trouble while the pilot handles the 'Mech's movement. Unlike other quadruped 'Mechs, the Boreas has a turret-like structure mounted on the main body. This allows all weapons mounted in this section to be aimed with any facing the gunner chooses. Should the vehicle's gyro be destroyed during combat, the vehicle can simply convert itself into vehicular form. It would also be able to be change into a 'Mech should one of its four tracks be rendered useless.
Built with the modularity of an OmniMech, this OmniQuadVee has twelve tons of Pod Space, which gives some flexibility over later fixed-configuration QuadVees. In its Prime Configuration the Boreas mounts a single Extended Range Particle Projector Cannon, Medium Pulse Laser, and 6-tubed Streak Short-Range Missile launcher with a single ton of ammunition.[1]
Alternate Configurations
- Alternate Configuration A
- The A is only armed with a singular weapon, the Class-20 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle with two tons of ammunition. BV(2.0)=1,221[1][5]
- Alternate Configuration B
- Long-range fire support configuration, the B armed with a 20-tubed Streak LRM with two tons of ammunition.BV(2.0)=1,331[1][6]
- Alternate Configuration C
- A generalist, this configuration allows the Boreas to attack from long range with its ATM-12, or close in a use the missile launcher in concert with its two ER Medium Lasers. Scientists allowed this configuration to carry three tons of ammunition. BV(2.0)=1,502[1][7]
- Alternate Configuration D
- Heat burden configuration, this configuration mounts pair of Heavy Large Lasers in either side of its turret-like torso. Four additional Laser Heat Sinks are added as well. BV(2.0)=1,394[1][8]
Design Quirks
The Boreas has the following Design Quirks:
Notes
In the Alpha Strike Rules set for Battletech, the Boreas Prime has been given the Point Value of 38, with Specials including; CASE, Omni, QV, and Turret (4/4/2).[9]
