Description
Following the losses of Clan Blood Spirit during its interference in the Absorption Refusal between Clan Burrock and Clan Star Adder, Khan Kariana Schmitt ordered the development of a new OmniMech. In order to defray the costs of designing a new 'Mech from the ground up, the Spirits worked with Kindraa Mick-Kreese of Clan Fire Mandrill. They designed this 'Mech together and, in order to cement the bond that the process had created, named it the Crimson Langur.
The Crimson Langur is a remarkably fast 'Mech for its weight. In order to do this, it uses both an XL Engine and an Endo Steel chassis to save weight. The design utilizes ten and a half tons of standard armor, the most the chassis can hold. The base frame utilizes the minimum ten double heat sinks. This only gives the Crimson Langur fifteen tons of space for modular equipment.
Armament
The primary configuration of the Crimson Langur is an all-energy configuration. It mounts an arm-mounted ER Large Laser for long-range work and a pair of Heavy Medium Lasers for close-range work. An advanced Targeting Computer aids the MechWarrior in hitting his or her target. Four additional double heat sinks keep the design mostly cool. Five jump jets give it a maximum jumping capacity of one hundred fifty meters. Finally, a Light Active Probe helps to detect hidden units.
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Config. A - This long-range support variant uses two of Clan Blood Spirit's favorite weapons. The ER Large Laser for the primary configuration is retained, while the other arm mounts a pair of LRM-15s with enough ammunition to stay in the fight. BV (1.0) = 1,710.
- Alt. Config. B - This design uses enough jump jets to leap up to two hundred ten meters in a single leap. It also makes use of a Light Active Probe. Offensively, an ATM 9 gives it the ability to deal damage at all ranges, while a trio of ER Medium Lasers ensure a blistering hail of close-range fire. This configuration is a capable battle armor killer. BV (1.0) = 1,981.
- Alt. Config. C - The main weapon of this variant is clearly the Ultra Autocannon/10. To back up this capable weapon are four ER Micro Lasers and four Micro Pulse Lasers. This can hold its own against hardened targets, while being a powerful force against conventional infantry. BV (1.0) = 1,268.
