Description
The Gallowglas was designed to counter the threat of the clans. The 'Mech is produced by Blackwell Heavy Industries on Outreach and is built to be effective from its longest range to point blank range. The 'Mech is built using a BLKWL-52gls Endo Steel chassis to save weight and a VOX 280 fusion engine for its durability. The Gallowglas is protected with a respectable twelve tons of armor and the 'Mech uses eighteen double heat sinks to handle its heavy heat load.
Armament
The weapons payload on the Gallowglas is an all energy arsenal. The primary long-range weapon is a Tiegart Magnum ER PPC, which provides a powerful long-range punch. For intermediate ranges the 'Mech carries two Sunglow Large Lasers and finally for short-range protection the 'Mech has two Magna Quasar Medium Pulse Lasers and a Magna Starglow Small Laser.
Variants
- GAL-2GLS - The 2GLS variant of the Gallowglas is modified to increase its long-range effectiveness. This is done by removing the ER PPC, a Medium Pulse Laser and the Small Laser, as well as eight double heat sinks and replacing them with a Gauss Rifle and CASE. This modification greatly reduces the 'Mechs heat load and gives it greater damage potential at long range. BV (1.0) = 1,664
- GAL-3GLS - The 3GLS expands on the 2GLS Model. The 'Mech is built using a Light Fusion Engine and uses the saved weight to improve the 'Mechs accuracy and armor protection greatly. All of the 'Mechs weapons have been linked to a Targeting Computer giving them greater accuracy and the 'Mech has also had an additional ton of armor protection added. The Laser arsenal has been upgraded as well to two ER Large Lasers and a ER Medium Laser. Finally the 'Mech has had Triple Strength Myomer added which allows the 'Mech to move at a top speed of 86.4 kph when it is operating in the proper heat range. BV (1.0) = 1,642
- GAL-4GLS - The 4GLS Gallowglas is a simple upgrade of the 2GLS and replaces the Large Lasers with two ER Large Lasers and the Medium Pulse Laser with a ER Medium Laser. The saved weight is used to make the 4GLS capable of jumping up to one hundred and twenty meters. BV (1.0) = 1,667
- Gallowglas WD - A variant of the Gallowglas available only to the Wolfs Dragoons the Gallowglas WD is built using all clan technologies. The 'Mech carries an ER PPC as its primary weapon, and two ER Medium Lasers and two ER Small Lasers for close range combat. The WD variant also has a maximum speed of 86.4 kph and can jump up to one hundred and twenty meters making the WD a highly maneuverable and effective 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 2024
