Overview:
Mark 'Fang' Stonkin is taking an extended hiatus was the official line given to the public, but others knew what was going on. After three failed attempts from Word of Blake agents, he was taking time off to take care of some...unfinished business. That WoB was trying to infiltrate, or using non descript terrorist attakcs on GZT locations indicated they did not yet know what Mark had taken off Terra. If they did, it would have been a tactical nuclear strike on the main facilities, instead of another dead spy at the bottom of the river. He had put the Blakists off for long enough. Refusing their business, finding little ways here and there to annoy them, even publicly speaking out against them after the massacre of the Dragoons. Mark had great respect for Jamie Wolf and the Wolves. Now, it was time to take matters into his own hands. So here he was, onboard the ValHalla, a customized Overlord dropship, with a battalion of mechs, including several of the experimental Salvo assault mechs. How those crazies found out about the plans and commisioned their own MagAcceloratorCannon Fang didn't know. Several Ground Zero security personel died during that escapade, including Mark's second in command and best friend. But he was determined the Blake weapon would not be used anymore if he could help it. All the Thunderbolt fighters had been converted to use all energy weapons, as he did not know how long this would take, or if he would even be back. He was sure that the WoB forces would be VERY suprised to see the lance of Arc Angel LAMs in combat. In an attempt to keep up appearances, Fang had left behind several new designs,and modifications to old ones for the design team and techs to work on. One in particular was dubbed Rolling Thunder, in honor of this clandestine operation. (NOTES: info and rules on the MAC and mechs using this weapon can be found here http://www.mordel.net/barandgrill.php?redirect=viewtopic&t=8144 {GZT Salvo mech} and here http://www.mordel.net/barandgrill.php?redirect=viewtopic&t=8146 {WoB Uriel} just a little bit of non cannon tech, for fun of course) )
Capabilities:
The RollingThunder is meant to be a faster than average assault which can go toe to toe with other more dangerous machines. Mark chose a 100 ton chassis based on the Grand Titan frames he still had in stock. He mounted an XL engine to help it keep pace, and move to the front as quickly as possible. The mechs weaponry is fearsome to behold in action. The right arm Gauss rifle coupled with the left arm Particle cannon give the mech that 'Reach out and touch someone' feel. This is followed up with the left arm's Large Pulse Laser and the four Martel Medium lasers in the right torso. The STREAK6 missile rack is a nice follow up to exploit the holes made by the murderous laser barrage. The SRM ammunition is stored in CASE, and the gauss ammo is in an ammo 'clip' attached to the right arm. The RollingThunder only carries 16 and a half tons of standard armor on its endosteel frame, and seems woefully inadequate to handle all its heat issues with just 14 double heatsinks. Careful heat management is needed to keep from shutting down. All in all though, the Rolling thunder is a potent machine of war, and should make any pilot proud.
One by one, the rabbits are stealing my sanity.....
