Description

The Brigand is a 'Mech that is surrounded by a sea of controversy as it is the first 'Mech to be produced by a pirate band. Produced by a company named Vengeance Incorporated, which is run by the pirates of the Haven Star Cluster and "Lady Death" Trevaline, the Brigand represents an unprecedented threat because in spite of the fact that it is built by pirates, it uses advanced construction techniques and weapons. The 'Mech is built on a Contraband Endo Steel chassis and is powered by a GM 150 fusion engine that gives it a top speed of 97.2 km/h. The 'Mech's speed is augmented by six Contraband jump jets that allow the 'Mech to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters. For protection, the Brigand has four tons of Haven Cent armor.[2]

Armament

The Brigand carries two Diverse Optics ER Medium Lasers for medium range combat and has two Sutel Precision Line Medium Pulse Lasers for close combat. The 'Mech utilizes an arsenal consisting only of lasers to limit the amount of logistical support needed.[2]

Variants

  • LDT-X1 
    A variant of the Brigand intended to bring more firepower on a target at the sacrifice of accuracy, the X1 removes the two Medium Pulse Lasers and replaces them with four Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 838[4], BV (2.0) = 937[5]
  • LDT-X2 
    Something of a quick strike version of the Brigand, the X2 removes the two Medium Pulse Lasers and replaces them with four Rocket Launcher 15s. These give the 'Mech an astounding amount of firepower in one shot making it a serious threat to other light 'Mechs when encountered. BV (1.0) = 780[4], BV (2.0) = 764[6]
  • LDT-X3 
    This version drops the lasers and replaces them with arm mounted Light PPCs and torso mounted Flamers. It is also equipped with an XL Fusion Engine and carries half a ton more armor. BV(2.0)=695[7]
