KRK-01a Ke'Rock BV:1,182 Cost: 9,246,009 Chassis: Star League XT Power Plant: Vlar 220 XL Cruising Speed: 43 Maximum Speed: 64.5 Jump Jets: none Jump Capacity: none Armor: Kevlar 5000 with CASE Armament: 1 Deathgiver Ballistics LB 20-X AC 3 Diverse Optics Medium Pulse Lasers 2 Yori Flyswatter AMSs Manufacturer: Nimakachi Fusion Products Limited Primary Factory: Luthien Communications System: Tek BattleCom Targeting and Tracking System: Standard
Overview: Firepower/Speed/Armor: This 55 ton mech has all three in decent levels. The squat design hails to a Puma for much of its body, armor plating following similar lines. Costing under 10k total the mech has several combat capbilites due to the massive LB-x Class 20 auto cannon that takes up most of one arm; extending the weapons capacity it carries two tons each of both cluster and slug rounds so a pilot may be selective in combat use. Secondary weapons consist of a trio of medium pulse lasers mounted on the other arm. Highly agile becuase of its low profle and leg design the mech also carries a AMS standard for extra protection. Design wise the mech is .5 tons undermass, allowing a fraction more battle speed, though this also comes at a slightly high heat curve, though the mech itself is rugged enough to endure this. (MH 22: HD:20). Battle testing reicently was completed, a four on four match verses a lance of DC heavies; though a simulated battle the KRK-01a lance survived with only a single unit lost, whereas the larger units suffered a 50/50 loss with one mech being incapacitated early in the fight by triple autocannon blasts. The design is promising, inexpensive compared to some designs on the market and offers both firepower to last and speed. Built from both currently produced and a handful of revese engineered or salvaged clan parts, the mech may soon see full scale production as battle testing and bug fixes are worked out. One pilot has been noted as saying something along the lines of a little heat for a Deatgiver style ac? sign me up. Against the machine is the lack of extended sensors or specalized gear aside from the AMS, though this means the cost is low, it also means some pilots may find the standardized sensors and cockpit lacking in functions. Jump jets also would aid in the machines agility though at a higher cost to heat of course; future designs may work around this, though the class 20 AC is likely to stay intact as well as the speed curve.
Capabilities: Heavy/medium combat. Fast harrasser mech. Well armed enough to combat heavier foes and do sufficently well.
Deployment: 12 units - 3 lances. Pesht military sector.
Battle History: 3 sim combat tests. 2 active combat tests. 2 live fire exersizes 12 simulated missons. Performance in all was rated C- or better.
