Description
A light combat vehicle that first saw production in 2692[6] the Galleon proved to be an economical means of supporting infantry and BattleMechs. With a top speed faster than most 'Mechs, the Galleon was well-armed but lacked protection, carrying only three and a half tons of armor. Despite this, the vehicle served well during the Amaris Civil War, and after the Exodus, these tracked vehicles mostly fell into the possession of the Draconis Combine and the Free Worlds League. The Galleon is often paired with the Harasser Missile Platform.
Weapons and Equipment
The Galleon is armed with a single Jackson Model 17 Medium Laser and a pair of Model 12 Small Lasers. These weapons provide decent firepower for its weight class, enabling the Galleon to worry contemporary 'Mechs of the same tonnage as itself.
Variants
- GAL-200
- The -200 replaces the Small Lasers with Machine Guns. This 2915 version is utilized by House Kurita, though some have been captured by the Lyran Commonwealth. BV (1.0) = 168[7], BV (2.0) = 345[8]
- GAL-200 (RL)
- The turret of this 2801 refit carries a pair of Machine Guns and a pair of Rocket Launcher 20s. Four Rocket Launcher 10s mounted on the tank's front provide additional firepower. BV (2.0) = 443[9]
- GAL-102
- This 3048 upgrade uses a Fusion Engine to increase the Galleon's top speed to 119 km/h. The Medium Laser is upgraded to a Priestly 600p Medium Pulse Laser, while the small Model 12s are upgraded to Hellion-V Medium Lasers. Jolassa 328 Ferro-Fibrous armor improved the protection for this tank, while a Beagle Active Probe enables the Galleon to find hidden units, its also equipped with a Maxell 500 comsys. Production of this model first began in 3048. BV (1.0) = 393, BV (2.0) = 651[10]
- GAL-103
- The first of two variants that Vicore Industries produced starting in 3066, the 103 uses an XL Engine for power. The tonnage saved goes to a C3i Computer and Guardian ECM Suite. The pulse laser of the 102 is upgraded to an ER Medium Laser, while the remaining tonnage goes towards more armor.[6] BV (1.0) = 536[11], BV (2.0) = 872[12]
- GAL-104
- This 3066 variant transforms the Galleon into a fire support tank by removing the weapons and electronics (except for a C3i Computer) to mount an ER Large Laser linked to a Targeting Computer.[6] BV (1.0) = 484[13], BV (2.0) = 779[14]
- Galleon Maxwell
- Developed by the Maxwell Planetary Defense Consortium, this Galleon variant uses some Experimental Technology to improve battlefield performance. The Armored Motive System protects the tracks, while Sponson Turrets allow some of the secondary weapons a larger field of fire. Each sponson turret has a Small Pulse Laser and Machine Gun, while a standard Medium Laser is in the main turret. A four ton Infantry Bay allows the Galleon to carry a squad of Battle Armor equipped troopers. To make room for all this equipment, the Gallon Maxwell uses an XL Engine. BV (2.0) = 451[15]
- GAL-105
- This variant of the Galleon is equipped with a Thumper Artillery Cannon and ER Medium Lasers in Sponson Turrets. It is used to provide fire support for light armored units. To make room for the weapons, armor was sacrificed.[16]
Notes
- The numbered variants given are the ones outlined in the technical readout. The record sheet refers to the 3058 upgrades as "300" and "400", respectively.
- The TRO:3025 Galleon image is Unseen.
- The TRO:3058 (GAL-102) image was declared Unseen for a few years but was removed from the list in 2014[17] and can legally be used.
