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

Performance in all was rated C- or
better.
Max damage at range 1 to 6 hexes is 38 using the following weapons:
