Description
The product of a program begun by the LCCC to create an OmniMech completely indigenous to the Free Worlds League from concept to production. The Perseus, called the "Omni-Orion" by some, is a capable 'Mech that has earned something of a lackluster reputation when compared to other modern OmniMechs such as the Templar or Hauptmann in spite of its capabilities. Built on a lightweight Endo Steel chassis the Perseus is powered by a Hermes 300 XL engine helping save even more weight and gives the 'Mech a top speed of 64.8 km/h. The advanced structure and engine save a great deal of weight for weapons and equipment. The Perseus is protected by fourteen tons of Valiant Lamellor armor giving it around average armor protection for a 'Mech of its size and also has twelve double heat sinks that are fixed on the chassis.
Armament
The primary configuration of the Perseus shares a great deal with the Orion BattleMech. For long range direct and indirect fire support the Perseus carries a LRM-20 with Artemis IV for increased missile accuraccy. For long range direct fire the Perseus carries a powerful Ultra Autocannon/10 that is capable of firing at twice the rate as a standard autocannon. The Perseus has a devestating short range arsenal with a highly accurate Medium Pulse Laser, four ER Medium Lasers , an ER Small Laser, and finally a SRM-4 launcher linked to an Artemis IV FCS. For protection from complete destruction if the 'Mech suffers an ammunition explosion it has CASE in both of its side torsos.
Alternate Configurations
- Alt. Congif. A - Configured for long range fire support the A configuration carries a pair of LRM-20 launchers both of which are linked to an Artemis IV FCS for increased accuracy. For close range defense the 'Mech carries two Medium Pulse Lasers and has a SRM-6 launcher linked to an Artemis IV FCS. The 'Mech also has a TAG laser designator allowing it to call in semi-guided LRM and Arrow IV attacks from friendly units and has an ECM Suite to defend itself from enemy electronic warfare systems. BV (1.0) = 1409
- Alt. Config. B - Capable of fighting at close and long ranges the B configuration has a Gauss Rifle and ER Large Laser for long range combat. The Perseus B is also capable of handling close combat with two Large Pulse Lasers and has an Anti-Missile System to protect from missile attacks. BV (1.0) = 1431
- Alt. Config. C - An all around configuration, the C is built to be capable of engaging an enemy at both long and short ranges. To do this the Perseus C carries a Light Gauss Rifle giving the 'Mech an extremely long reach. This is backed up by an Ultra Autocannon/10 capable of engaging the enemy as they close. For close combat the Perseus C has three ER Medium Lasers, a Medium Pulse Laser, and a Streak SRM 2 launcher. BV (1.0) = 1487
- Alt. Config. D - Configured specifically for close combat the D configuration has a LRM-20 launcher with an Artemis IV FCS for increased accuracy as well as an LB-X Autocannon/10 for long range combat. For close ranges the 'Mech has a SRM-6 launcher linked to an Artemis IV FCS, three ER Medium Lasers and a ER Small Laser. The D also has a ECM suite to protect from enemy electronic warfare systems and a Beagle Active Probe that allows it to find hidden units in close combat situation. BV (1.0) = 1358
