==Description==
 
Designed by [[Adam Tech Industries]] and manufactured from their plant on [[Abadan]], the '''''Havoc''''' was inspired by the [[Jenner|JR7-K ''Jenner'']] and managed to improve on many of the JR7-K's design features. The combination of almost double the ''Jenner''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s armor, a 10% increase in speed thanks to the [[Hermes 280 XL]] engine and a weapons loadout that allowed it to battle 'Mechs heavier than itself spurred the Adam Tech advertising campaign, which was geared exclusively towards pilots of [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[BattleMech]]s. The advertising slogan for the ''Havoc'' was "In any battle, you only pilot one 'Mech" - which earned the ''Havoc'' the nickname "the One".<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp24+"/>
 
  
The key to the ''Havoc''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s success was the [[Octagon Tartrac System E]], considered the best short-range targeting and tracking system available on the market at the time and often compared to the highly successful and effective [[Garret D2j]] targeting system. The Octagon system identified threats faster than comparable systems, an invaluable aid to [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]]s in the field. The ''Havoc'' also mounted five [[Chiltern 360]] [[jump jet]]s distributed throughout the ''Havoc's'' torso locations, allowing it to jump up to 150 meters.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp24+"/>
 
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Description==
The ''Havoc'' mounted paired [[Diverse Optics (ERML)|Diverse Optics]] [[ER medium laser]]s in each arm along with a [[Hovertec Quad]] [[SRM-4]] launcher mounted in the center torso. The SRM-4 system was supplied with two tons of ammunition stored in a [[CASE II]]-protected storage area in the left torso, allowing the ''Havoc'' to carry specialty ammunition as needed.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp24+"/>

From INN 3136: For the sake of mental exercise, I’m actually taking the time to analyze this piece. Looking at the rest of the specs, it doesn’t seem to be a bad design. It’s packed incredibly tight; there’s no unused tonnage on this thing anywhere. And from what I can see it has 97% of the armor it could have. It does, however, look like it would run hot for an aggressive pilot. I wonder if they held back on the heat sinks? The jump jets are a little limited at 150 meters, but with the armor it’s got, it should be fairly survivable.
  
==Design Quirks==

==Armament==
The ''Havoc'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirk]]:
+
*1x [[CASE II]] Equipment
* [[Improved Targeting|Improved Targeting (Short)]]
+
*1x [[SRM]] 4
 +
*1x [[ER Medium Laser]]
  
==Notes==
 
* INN 3136 gave the following description of the ''Havoc'':
 
"For the sake of mental exercise, I’m actually taking the time to analyze this piece. Looking at the rest of the specs, it doesn’t seem to be a bad design. It’s packed incredibly tight; there’s no unused tonnage on this thing anywhere. And from what I can see it has 97% of the armor it could have.
