Description
The Harrier was initially commissioned by the SLDF in 2749 and was intended as a general-purpose support for BattleMech operations but would be more commonly used for cavalry and long-range reconnaissance [3]. As the Succession Wars ground on, the necessary scavenger habits of the Inner Sphere would strip many fusion powered tanks of their engines to provide spares for 'Mechs with the Harrier only escaping due to the rare Vlar 265 which was primarily used in the civilian sector. The Harrier would cease production after the Free Worlds League captured Carver V in the mid-thirtieth century and Ingrid Liao refused to rebuild the production line. The Harrier would return after the Drillson sparked a renaissance in fusion powered hovercraft. It would make a significant return after the Federated Commonwealth captured Carver V during the Fourth Succession War as part of the FedComm fusion revival program which would culminate in the Fulcrum and Condor[3].
Armament
The Harrier has a Large Laser as its primary weapon, backed up by an SRM-6 launcher fed by one ton of ammunition. A single medium laser covers the rear arc of the vehicle.
Variants
- Re-Laser
- Modern Harriers are a product of Julian Davion and Devlin Stone's alliance, with the First Prince leaving behind schematics for the Re-engineered Laser when he passed through the Fortress Wall in 3146[3]. The Republic of the Sphere would rush through production and deployment of the technology. The Re-Laser variant mounts a single ChisComp 87 Large Re-Engineered Laser, a Streak SRM-6, and a Medium Laser[3].The single ton of Streak ammunition is protected by a CASE bin and the Standard armor is replaced by Durallex Special Heavy Ferro-Fibrous. BV (2.0) = 958 [3]
