Description
The Legionnaire was developed as House Davion's answer to the Lyran Blitzkrieg. The Legionnaire entered production during the Word of Blake Jihad. A lance of Legionnaires played an important role in the third battle of New Avalon. As Blakist forces tried to ford the Thames river, the Legionnaires quickly assaulted their left flank, breaking their momentum and eventually forcing them off-world. Capable of reaching 118 km/h, the Legionnaire is a fast flanker. It is built on an Endo Steel chassis, which is protected by nine and a half tons of armor. [3] The Legionnaire was one of the last new designs to be mass-produced by the Achernar BattleMechs factory.
Armament
The Legionnaire is built around a single Mydron Model RC large-bore rotary Autocannon slaved to a sophisticated Targeting Computer, giving it extreme accuracy in battle.[4]
Variants
- LGN-1X - This was the original prototype, which was designed to be a scout 'Mech. It was armed with a Rotary Autocannon/2, two ER Medium Lasers, had a Beagle Active Probe, and an additional half-ton ton of armor. The LGN-2X prototype was chosen for production instead. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,322
- LGN-2K - This variant swaps out the Autocannon for an ER PPC, turning the Legionnaire into a potent sniper. The weight saved enables the addition of enough jump jets for the 'Mech to leap up to 210 meters at a time and more armor. BV (1.0) = 1,341[5] BV (2.0) = ??
- Export - The export version swaps the Rotary cannon for a less sophisticated Mydron Model B Autocannon/10.
Related BattleMechs
- Centurion - Unsuccessful in increasing the mass of the Centurion BattleMech, Corean Enterprises reworked their prototype skeletons rather than scrap the project. Ultimately, the design team produced the Legionnaire BattleMech[6].
- Blitzkrieg - The role of the Legionnaire was inspired by the performance of the Blitzkrieg BattleMech during the Federated Commonwealth Civil War. Both designs are built to be a fast flanking unit mounting a single, powerful weapon system[7].
Notable Pilots
- Raul Ortega - The personal ride of Raul Ortega moves the Rotary Autocannon from its torso mount to the right arm, giving it a wider field of fire. It also exchanges the targeting computer for three Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,340[8]
