Overview:
As Wolf's Dragoons first entered the Inner Sphere they brought with them mechs
and technology which hadn't been seen in centuries. Among them was the
prototype of a new Marauder variant. The technology was archaic by Clan
standards, but it still towered above the jury-rigged tech levels of the Inner
Sphere. The prototype had to be downscaled in the production models to match
Inner Sphere tech levels and avoid drawing any further attention.
Capabilities:
The Marauder II prototypes mounted a much heavier armament than the Blackwell
production models. Combining a pair of PPC's and medium lasers with a large
laser and autocannon 10, the Marauder II carried a solid punch. Fifteen double
strength heat sinks allowed the mech to keep a high rate of fire. 17 tons of
Ferro Fibrous armour give the mech near maximum protection for its chassis
size.
Unlike the later versions the medium lasers were mounted in the torso and the
large laser in a chin mount.
As a newer 5A version was developed after the discovery of the Helm Memory
Core, the use of the high heat ER PPC's required the removal of the large laser.
Battle History:
All existing 4X prototypes were assigned to Zeta Battalion which had the
benefit of being much less in the spotlight than the line regiments. They
fought successfully in most Dragoon campaigns including the harrowing battles
on Misery. The surviving models remained in service with the militia on
Outreach. It is believed they were destroyed during the orbital bombardment by
the World of Blake in the opening moves of the Jihad.
Deployment:
The 4X were never made available outside of the Dragoons, serving with Zeta
Battalion and the Home Guard on Outreach.
Variants:
An upgrade package for 4A models was made available by Blackwell during the Fed
Com Civil War to upgrade models produced before the Clan Invasion, but was
poorly received because it relied on older weapon technology.
