The pursuit to redeem the much maligned Charger is an endeavor that continues to challenge the greatest military manufacturers of the Inner Sphere. An experimental concept from Luthien Armor Works, the CGR-5A retains the scout role of its original incarnation, with significant modifications for new stealth and added maneuverability. The design remains under gunned when compared to contemporary assault ‘Mechs, but its revised weapon payload enjoys six times greater range to a CGR-1A1.

The undying Lyran dream of standardizing an Assault class scout ‘Mech is often belittled by rival Inner Sphere analysts. Thus initial reports of the Rattenfanger were ignored as erroneous intelligence: an eighty ton BattleMech with dedicated long-range sensors, 86 kph ground speed, and 180 meter leap were too fanciful to accept at face value. Despite the lack of visual evidence, the circumstances became irrefutable when scout ‘Mechs were consistently lost to a Lyran reconnaissance design neigh invulnerable to others of the same role. Mounting a Particle Projector Cannon and a Gauss Rifle, the Rattenfanger outran whatever it could not outgun. At an eye watering 28.9 million C-Bills per unit, only the overwhelming industrial might of the Lyran Commonwealth would consider large scale procurement of such a design.

The MAD-9LP Marauder exemplifies an old Liao stratagem: “in battle there are two paths to victory, the direct and the indirect.” At a glance the variant is little different from it’s siblings. That assumption is the fatal mistake: three Ceres Arms Crusher plasma rifles signify the core of this particular Marauder. An opponent who might survive direct damage, will always be weakened by the indirect heat. With the right timing, the MAD-9LP can coerce enemy BattleMechs to shutdown or roast MechWarriors alive. Two paths, same victory.

Avoiding the common modernization of an extralight fusion engine replacement, the HCT-3G can be found in garrisons throughout the Lyran Commonwealth. Consolidating firepower between an enormous Binary Laser Cannon and Large Laser, the ‘Mech can deploy without ammunition. Its retention of a standard fusion engine ensures maintenance and repair costs are accessible to even the poorest mainteance crew.

BattleMechs dedicated to rearguard assignment are rarities in the Draconis Combine. The THG-4C3 stands among those unique few. Operating four independent command, control, and communication systems in simultaneous encrypted broadcast, little tonnage remains for direct battlefield offense. The units are nonetheless sought by commanders who desire force multiplication stratagems. Though its all eggs in one basket approach presents significant risk, the variant offers the widest C3 deployment with easy simplicity.

The Hunchback is an ubiquitous BattleMech that strides across multiple battlefields of the Inner Sphere. Its overwhelming combat effectiveness ensures widespread military popularity (and corporate profitability) that contributes to the existence of numerous unique customizations. From state of the art testbeds designed for prestigious research teams, to jerry-built Frankenstein war machines by destitute bandits.

First seen on Midale by DMI operatives in 3135, the HBK-4T Hunchback became a prevailing enigma. Why would foreign benefactors provide modified Hunchbacks to the Taurian Concordat? Equally important is the question of who could provide them? The Lyran Commonwealth and Clan Sea Fox often atop the conspirator lists, though no one can realistically explain how either benefit from the arrangement. Taurus Territorial Industries insist the idea was a domestic endeavor, yet cannot provide the development data proving such. These mysteries overshadow the HBK-4T itself, acknowledged as an adequate indirect fire platform in military circles.

The objective of the Tarasque design team was straightforward: a BattleMech able to saturate opposition with enough firepower to destroy or cripple it in one single salvo. Authorized to institute any reasonable compromise to achieve this goal, StarCorps Industries immediately set forth to accomplish the daunting task. The culmination of their engineering, after years of complex simulations and reiterative field experiments, has not been in vain.

It is undeniable the combat skills of House MechWarriors pale in comparison to Clan Bloodnames. A solution to correct the problem, pulse lasers directed by a targeting computer, has been proposed by leading technologists. While not as amorous as battled hardened veterans with decades of combat experience, the tangible result speaks for itself.
