Description

The Vampyr was created by the Bristol SalvageWorks of the Magistracy of Canopus. The quadruped IndustrialMech is arguably a mere variant of its predecessor, the SC-V Scavenger.[1][2]

It is used by the MAF's Canopian Salvage Corps with the intent of re-constituting 'Mech weaponry, armor plating, electronics, and liquid coolant from wrecked BattleMechs. Vampyr crews are often required to break down potential salvage and place them into one of the many on board cargo bays.[1]

Since joining the Trinity Alliance, Bristol SalvageWorks has improved the Vampyr's capacities with inclusion of new technologies.[1]

Equipment and Capacities

The vehicle's principle equipment is its Industrial TSM, which allows the 80 ton machine to haul more salvage than normal vehicles. It has Liquid Sprayer to either pump fluids into its tanks, or to cool off friendly BattleMechs. The Nissan 320 Rated Fuel Cell engine has been given extended range by giving 3 ton extra fuel tank. To protect the 'Mech's hull, its been given 7 tons of Industrial Armor. In addition to its armor protection, the entire design has been sealed against hostile environments.[1]

Cargo

The vehicle is equipped with 2 two-ton liquid cargo bays, for storage of coolant or retrievable liquid salvage and with 8 one-ton cargo bays for storage purposes.[1]

Related Designs

  • SC-V Scavenger SalvageMech - The Vampyr's predecessor, which lacks the Vampyr's TSM and environmental sealing. Arguably, the Vampyr is merely a variant of the Scavenger. BV = ??
