Manufactured by a company named [[Vengeance Incorporated]], which is run by the pirates of the [[Haven Star Cluster]] and [[Paula Trevaline |"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. Prior to the [[Jihad]] most of the constructed ''Brigand''s were used in raids against the [[Taurian Concordat]], the majority of the design with pirates operating out of the Haven Star Cluster with a few others in the forces of [[Vance Rezak]]'s [[Band of the Damned|band]], the [[Tortuga Fusiliers]], ''[[Shen-sè Tian]]'' and [[Marcadia Brothers]].<ref name="TRO:3067p47+"/> + 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 'Mechs speed is augmented by six Contraband [[jump jet]]s that allow the 'Mech to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters. For protection, the ''Brigand'' has four tons of Haven Cent armor. − The success of the ''Brigand'' and the [[Tortuga Prime]] pirates drew the attention of the [[Word of Blake]], who offered additional clandestine resources to improve and upgrade the capability and production of Vengeance Incorporated, spawning a number of new variants of the ''Brigand''.<ref name=HTPT-4>''Historical Turning Points: Tortuga'', p. 4: "Tortuga Prime"</ref> During the [[Filtvelt Coalition]]'s disastrous raid against Tortuga Prime in [[3076]], [[The Thumpers]] stumbled upon five highly advanced and deadly prototypes, the features of which were ultimately distilled into the LDT-5 variant that would continue to plague the Coalition and other nearby [[Periphery]] realms following the Blakists' fall.<ref name=HTPT-23/> + ==Armament== + The ''Brigand'' carries two Diverse Optics [[ER Medium Laser]]s for medium range combat and has two Sutel Precision Line [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s for close combat.

Equipped with three [[medium laser]]s spread across its three torso sections, the LDT-5 carries a [[mace]] in the left arm, enhancing its close combat ability but also limiting how much booty the LDT-5 can make off with.
