Description
The Preta (which means "ghost" in Hindi) is the second-lightest in the Word of Blake's new Celestial series of OmniMechs, which are primarily piloted by Manei Domini. As with the other Celestials, the Preta was designed by Doctor Devon Cortland. Like the others, this 'Mech is full of brand new, 3069-era technology, featuring a C3i Computer and a small cockpit. It is built on a lightweight Endo Steel chassis and uses a light fusion engine for power. For protection, the Preta uses nine tons of standard armor.[2]
Weapons and Equipment
The primary configuration, the Invictus, is armed with an incredibly accurate Retractable Blade for close combat. It also uses a Light PPC and a Snub-Nose PPC that deals more damage as the 'Mech closes with its opponent. The Invictus sports an anti-missile system for further defensive capabilities.[2]
Alternate Configurations
- Alternate Configuration A (Dominus)
- This configuration sports Improved Jump Jets that allow the Preta to jump up to 240 meters. Offensively, it uses two pairs of arm-mounted ER Medium Lasers guided by a Targeting Computer. An extra pair of heat sinks keeps the heat buildup nil. BV (2.0) = 1,302[4][5]
- Alternate Configuration C (Comminus)
- The Preta C is a scout variant with its Beagle Active Probe and TAG. A Plasma Rifle is effective against all types of units. In close, the Comminus variant can call upon an ER Small Laser and two Medium Pulse Lasers. BV (2.0) = 1,187[4][7]
- Alternate Configuration D (Luminos)
- This variant is a capable knife fighter. Six Jump Jets give it a maximum jumping distance of 180 meters. A Snub-Nose PPC deals damage at long range, but is more powerful up close. A pair of Medium Pulse Lasers are highly accurate, as are the twin Small Pulse Lasers that are so devastating against infantry. BV (2.0) = 1,158[4][8]
- Alternate Configuration E (Eminus)
- The Preta E utilizes an experimental Thunderbolt 15, though it only has enough ammunition to fire four times. Nonetheless, CASE protects the ammo bin. A pair of ER Mediums provide respectable firepower, while a Rocket Launcher 10 should make smaller enemies wary until it is expended. BV (2.0) = 1,211[4][9]
- Alternate Configuration S (Caelestis)
- The Preta S uses experimental ER Medium Pulse Lasers and an ER Large Pulse Laser captured from Clan sources. It also carries six Jump Jets for additional mobility. BV (2.0) = 1,566[10][11]
- Alternate Configuration U (Exanimus)
- The Exanimus configuration uses an experimental Laser AMS to destroy incoming torpedoes. An ER Small Laser and Snub-Nose PPC provide ranged firepower, while a Retractable Blade can pierce enemy armor and flood it. Six UMUs allow the Preta U to move around underwater at a high speed. The configuration is also equipped with an Improved C3 BV (2.0) = 1,055[12]
Custom Configurations
- Preta Kendali
- The customized configuration of the Opacus Venatori member Demi-Precentor Kendali Morris mounts enough Improved Jump Jets to leap 240 meters; the 'Mech also is equipped with TAG and a Light PPC fitted with a capacitor supported by a single Small Variable Speed Laser. BV (2.0) = 1,020 [13]
