Description
The Buraq is a Clan Medium weight Quad Battle Armor, which was designed by Clan Hell's Horses during the early 32nd Century. The horse-like Buraq was named for the mystical steed from ancient times, and like its mystical namesake, the battle armor is noted for its high ground speed. Typically, Clan Hell's Horses have used full stars consisting of different variants of the Battle Armor. These Buraq Stars work as a team in their appointed mission assignments. They've been utilized on the Horse's Periphery borders to help scout and pin down pirates terrorizing their worlds.[6]
Weapons and Equipment
The Buraq's main feature is its Myomer Booster, which enable the Armor to reach its noted high speeds. Operators of the Buraq must rely on their speed due to the Armor's hull only being protected by 175 kgs worth of standard armor. For its role as a scouting unit, the Buraq has improved communication gear and mounts a single searchlight. As weaponry goes, the standard version of the mounts two Machine Guns mounted on the body, with 50 rounds of ammunition spit between the two guns.[7]
Variants
The Buraq's other variants are the Hunter-Killer and the Support models.
- Hunter-Killer
- The Hunter-Killer features the short-ranged but powerful Bearhunter Superheavy Autocannon. The Hunter-Killer retains the Myomer Booster and searchlight of the standard model, but also comes with Improved Sensors.
- Support
- The Support model is used more so as artillery spotter, its main weapon is a Advanced SRM 2 launcher that comes with four salvos of weapons fire. While again retaining the Myomer Booster, the Support's most import feature is its Light Target Acquisition Gear.[8]
Notes
The Buraq is not designed to be able to undertake typical swarm attacks or leg Attacks.
