Overview: When the Lyran Commonwealth obtained Battlemech technology they entrusted it to their top manufacturing firms. While most produced designs that never made it off the drawing board, BMW Interstellar came up with the Punisher.
A contemporary of the Ymir, the Punisher was prized by its pilots for its superior firepower. After proving itself in combat time and again, orders from social generals began to flood BMWi. Unfourtunately a combination of limited production capacity, labor disputes and an unwillingness of the board of directors to lay out a huge capital expense on a new facility kept production low. Even still the reputation of exceptional quality and durability kept orders flowing in. Further complicating matters social generals would continaly demand fine leather interiors, family crests and unit insignia molded into the armor plate as well as reconfigured power supplys to accomadate Donal PPCs which were considered superior to the native-produced A-4 Lightning. Finaly a small custom shop was built to accomadate special orders. From then the Punisher would wax and wane as the status symbol du jour for social generals until the development of the Hauptman. At times the backlog would be so long, nobelmen would place an order at the time of conception of their heir in hopes that it might be ready by the time they could take command of a unit.
Capabilities: The Punisher mounted the new Partical Projection Canon system backed up by a Large Laser for medium range punch. For a close range four Medium Lasers were chosen for their efficency. A massive and complicated cooling system manages to deal with the massive amounts of waste heat produced by the energy weapons. While reliable the system is a techs nightmare if damaged, luckily for techs many Punishers rarely see combat. However when they do their armor rivals that of the Makie, making the Punisher difficult to take down.
Battle History: The Punisher proved itself time and again until modern designs began to supplant it. However in the Age of War Punishers were present-if in small numbers-at every major offensive action by the Lyrans.
