Description

As the AFFC was looking for OmniVehicle designs, StarCorps Industries quickly reacted. While StarCorps Industries had only built 'Mechs, it gathered a military vehicle design team and released a prototype in record time. Though not the only OmniVehicle submitted for consideration, the Manteuffel (named after the long line of Lyran armor generals) revealed itself to be the best. Officially it fulfilled all requirements, but unofficially StarCorps Industries had greased all the right palms.[1]

This tank is assigned only to highest-profile units within the LAAF and AFFS because of its expense and technologies it uses, such as the Lyran Guards in the Alliance and Davion Brigade of Guards in the Suns. The Deneb Light Cavalry RCTs also received some as they were one of the best combined-arms brigades in all of the Inner Sphere, and could put these expensive tanks to good use.[1]

Weapons and Equipment

With every version able to deliver an awesome amount of firepower while being able to keep up other units, the Manteuffel is a serious tank to consider. The primary variant sports three ER Medium Lasers and a deadly Rotary AC/5. It can cripple any unit, 'Mech or armor. It also mounts a C3 Slave module to coordinate fire with other C3 units.[1]

Alternate Configurations

  • Alt. Config. D 
    This version turns the Manteuffel into a large infantry fighting vehicle introduced in 3075[11]. The eight ton infantry compartment is mounted in the body, and the infantrymen deployed from there are supported by an LRM-10 and twin Light PPCs. An Anti-Missile System protects from enemy missiles. BV (2.0) = 1,172[12][11]
  • Alt. Config. E 
    This 3087[13] variant carries a BattleMech Taser and LB 10-X in the turret. It keeps the Guardian ECM Suite, but replaces the C3 Slave. A pair of Medium Lasers and an ER Small Laser cover the front of the tank. BV (2.0) = 1,256[14][13]
