Description
The Legionnaire was developed as House Davion's answer to the Lyran's 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.
Armament
This fast, armored 'Mech is built around a single Mydron Model RC large-bore rotary Autocannon slaved to a sophisticated targeting computer, giving it extreme accuracy in battle.
Variants
- 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
- Export - The export version swaps the Rotary cannon for a less sophisticated Mydron Model B Autocannon/10.
Notable Pilots
- Raul Ortega - The personal ride of Raul Ortega moves the 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
