Description[edit]
The CattleMaster was created at the turn of the thirty-first century as an IndustrialMech to handle large herd animals, though the concept for the Rancher 'Mech dates back to the twenty-fourth century. The 'Mech is noted for its durability and flexible internal combustion engine. The 'Mech is built on the Lyran Commonwealth world of Duran, and CattleMasters are used throughout Steiner agricultural worlds that handle livestock. The primary version of the CattleMaster is called the "Herder" which was introduced in 3024.[6]
During the Jihad, Rastaban Agricultural took advantage of the situation by producing militarized versions of the CattleMaster. These militarized versions were not produced after the Jihad ended.[7]
During the Liao Insurgency, the Ijori Dè Guāng insurgency used CattleMasters and other IndustrialMechs to fight the Republic of the Sphere military.[8]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The 'Mech wields a retractable blade and searchlight in its right arm, and has a three ton cargo bay mounted in its left torso. Its chassis is encased with four and a half tons of industrial armor.[9]
Cargo[edit]
The Herder variant of the 'Mech is equipped with a three ton cargo bay.
Variants[edit]
- CTL-3R2 CattleMaster (Hunter)
- A heavily armed and armored version of CattleMaster, which is used for taking on powerful predators. This design is equipped a TharHes Mars-1 targeting an tracking system, linked to two military-grade small lasers in its right arm and three machine guns in its left, while the searchlight is moved to the left arm. The machine guns are fed by half a ton of ammunition is stored in the center torso. To handle the weaponry heat, the 'Mech has been equipped with a single heat sink. The Hunter is protected by five tons of industrial armor.[10] BV(2.0)=245[11]
- CTL-3R3 CattleMaster SecurityMech
- Developed by Rastaban during the Jihad, this design was introduced to make up for the dearth of Peacemaker SecurityMechs. A production design, it has a fuel cell engine, and uses heavy industrial armor for protection. A medium laser is mounted in the left arm, a single LRM-5 is mounted in the right torso, and the left arm machine guns remain.[12] BV(2.0)=358[13]
Design Quirks[edit]
The CattleMaster (Hunter) and (Herder) features the following Design Quirk:
Notes[edit]
- The Herder and Hunter variants originally were published in the FanPro version of the original Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex. Both variants were published without record sheets until Record Sheets: Vehicle Annex, IndustrialMechs & Exoskeletons. The unit's designations were changed from the RA-4 CattleMaster (Herder) and RA-4 CattleMaster (Hunter) to the CTL-3R and CTL-3R2 respectably.
