Description
Designed by the Star League, the heavy Chippewa isn't extremely fast, but it has an impressive array of armament. Mostly used in the Lyran Commonwealth, the Chippewa has become House Steiner's main heavy fighter. Prior to the start of the First Succession War Steiner captured the Bowie Industries plant on Dell, where W5 models were produced until House Kurita successfully destroyed the plant in a raid.
Armament
Short or long range, it is best to stay away from a Chippewa. With the Exostar LRM-15 and SRM-6 racks to the front, backed up by two Martell Medium Lasers in the nose and four McCorkel Large Lasers in the wings, the Chippewa can lay down a devastating first strike. For rear protection, two McCorkel Small Lasers are mounted to the rear.
Variants
- CHP-W7 - A House Steiner upgrade of the CHP-W5 using recovered technology, the CHP-W7 Chippewa features Double Heat Sinks, an XL Engine, Ferro-Aluminum armor, and all lasers upgraded to pulse lasers.[1]
