Description

The Hellcat has its origins in Clan Nova Cat's post-Abjurement rebuilding program. The chassis design was traded to Jade Falcon merchants in exchange for raw materials and was then reworked from the atypical Conjurer variant into its own system[1]. The early Hellcat, named in part for the BattleMech's creators and the Inner Sphere designation for the Conjurer, emphasized flexible firepower and saw limited production before the Jihad. A more modernized variant was introduced during a brief Falcon remilitarization program on Graus in the 3130s but fell victim to the Falcon's Rending. The plans were then acquired by Clan Sea Fox who have begun production[1].

Variants

  • Hellcat-P 
    A prototype variant created by Clan Jade Falcon around 3065 [3] nearly identical to the current production run offered by Clan Sea Fox.

Its armament remains the same carrying a single ton of LB-10X slug ammunition, a single ton of LB-10X Cluster ammunition, and a single ton of SRM 6 ammunition. BV(2.0) = 1,777 [4]
