Description

The Starslayer was intended to replace the Crab as the Star League's standard medium 'Mech. The 'Mech was plagued with production delays that were finally resolved in 2772. The Starslayer never served in any great numbers in the SLDF, as the manufacturer refused to ship to them due to a lack of needed shipping information during the Amaris Civil War. As a result, many of the relatively few Starslayers produced never reached their units, and were put in storage instead. The design ended up in Lyran hands.[1][2]

The Starslayer is built on a lightweight Thor-4 Endo Steel chassis and reaches a top speed of 86.4 km/h with its Magna 250 fusion engine. The Starslayer also has five Odin's Own Model 34z jump jets which give it the ability to jump up to one hundred and fifty meters. Finally, the design carries nine and a half tons of Norse-34 Ferro-Fibrous with CASE. The CASE protects the BattleMech from complete destruction in the event of an ammunition explosion.[1][2]

Weapons and Equipment

The primary weapons on the Starslayer are a pair of BlazeFire Systems Large Lasers that provide the 'Mech with a striking distance of up to four hundred and fifty meters. For close range combat, the Starslayer has two Defiance B3M Medium Lasers and a Defiance B4M Small Laser. Finally, to allow the Starslayer to find and exploit weak points in an enemy's armor, it also carries a TharHes 4 Pack SRM-4 launcher.[1][2]

Variants

  • STY-2C 
    The original Starslayer, introduced in 2772, used a standard chassis and only mounted seven tons of armor. BV (1.0) = 1,180[6], BV (2.0) = 1,365[7]
  • STY-3D 
    The 3D variant of the Starslayer is intended to allow the 'Mech to better engage an enemy at long ranges. This is accomplished by removing one of the Large Lasers, the SRM-4 launcher, and the Small Laser. These are replaced with an additional Medium Laser and an ER PPC that can hit a target accurately at six hundred and ninety meters. BV (1.0) = 1,408[8][9], BV (2.0) = 1,593[10]
