−	The second [[BattleMech]] model introduced by the [[Free Worlds League]], the '''''Hector''''' entered service in [[Introduction Year::2471]],<ref name=ED11/> only one year after the original ''[[Icarus]]''. Built by [[Corean Enterprises MacAdams-Suharno]] on [[Stewart]], it used a simple design suited for mass production and quickly became the workhorse of the [[Free Worlds League Military]]'s 'Mech [[regiment]]s. Limited by the [[Primitive Technology]] it was built with, the ''Hector's'' performance was generally considered lackluster. Its good top speed came at a big price; the large engine took up so much mass that the 'Mech ended up undergunned. It also had endurance problems as its twelve tons of primitive armor did not provide adequate protection to deal with heavy opponents and it also lacked enough [[heat sink]]s for its armament. Overall the Hector proved largely unpopular in its time but was just effective enough to last into the [[Production Ceased::2520]]s when it was taken out of service in favor of newer, better designs. No ''Hectors'' survived the [[Extinction Era::Age of War]], making it one of the earliest lost 'Mech designs.<ref name=ED:AoWp26-27/>	+	The second [[BattleMech]] model introduced by the [[Free Worlds League]], the '''''Hector''''' entered service in [[Introduction Year::2471]]<ref name=ED11/>, only one year after the original ''[[Icarus]]''.

A curious design choice was the inclusion of [[Sperry Browning]] machine guns mounted on its upper legs. Meant to deter infantry attacks, the placement of the guns, and especially their ammo bins, in the legs had the opposite effect - enemy infantry soon began specifically targeting the ''Hector's'' legs to cripple them via ammunition explosions. ==Variants== *;HOR-1C : A variant introduced to fix the "exploding legs" problem, the 1C replaced the machine guns and their ammo with two [[small laser]]s.
