==Overview:==
The Dictator is a mech that started out as mere table talk among the engieeres
and designers at Skobel MechWorks. The conversation was over heard by one of
the VPs and in a matter of weeks everyone that was having the conversation was
soon drawing up plans for the mech.

The mech had several stillborn attempts as each person want to incorroprate
all the new technology they could into it, but as things went along a lot of
the higher tech items were drop in favor of things that would actually work
and keep this mech from being one that makes the history books as nothing more
then a pipe dream, as one of the engineer's said it's like the Germans of
Terra trying to build the Maus super tank, great idea, lousy out come.



==Capabilities:==
The Dictator has some awesome fire power and can be deadly at all ranges...the
long range firepower is deavsating and is assured a critial amount of damage
is dealt to the enemy's mech if not an out right kill.

Most of the weapons on the mech are newer companys models, this is an on going
plan of Skobel MechWorks, to try and use new companys in the hopes of getting
a cheaper product in the long run, thus keeping the cost down.

The twin gauss rifles pack a punch that most mechs fear being on the receving
end and the added in LRMs gives the mech a heafty one two punch at range.
Along with the newer munitions that have come out for the try and true LRM
systems gives any mech more reach then ever before. Currently Skobel is trying
to reach an agreement with the Capllean government in the hopes of getting a
liscense to build some of the newer LRM munitions and this would allow them to
offer them as standard items on future sales of the Dictator and other Skobel
mechs.

==Battle History:==
The only battle the Dictator has fought in was in defense of the testing
facility, Yara Prime.

The base was attacked by a group of renegade mechs all bearing Free World
Legionnare markings...they seemed to be more there to get spare parts and
supplies then to actually be looking for the prototypes that were undering
going testing.

The battle raged for over an hour and ended when the attacker was routed when
their commander took two gauss slugs to the cockpit of his Black Knight.

Since that battle Skobel MechWorks has been looking into finding the remains
of that group and is offering a reward to anyone who can find the attackers
and bring them to Skobel's headquaters.

==Variants:==
Several variants are undergoing testing, one that is seeing the most favoring
right now is where the twin gauss rifles are dropped in favor of two AC-10
autocannons.

Several other models are testing replacing the gauss rifles with different
forms of autocannons and engery weapons.

None have made it to the production level as of yet.
