==Overview:==
Built to meet the needs of the Inner Sphere in the fighting against the Clans,
the Broadside was built to give a massive salvo of firepower in a compact and
relatively cheap frame.

The Broadside was able to reach the hands of both Fed-Com and Combine warriors
in Operation Bulldog.

The mech was in combat from the get go, as several lance of these begin the
drive to push back the Smoke Jaguars on several planets during the first wave
of the attacks.

==Capabilities:==
The ablitiy to bring to bare awesome firepower at  range give the Broadside a
large advantage over other mechs in the firesupport grouping.

The StarFire 15 are well know for their accurrcey and tied into a SureShot
Artiems IV system they are even better. The two Falcon Heavy large laser (ER) 
round out the long range firepower of the Broadside. The Diverse Optics ER
mediums add their potent hitting power and can keep those pesky Elementals at
bay long enough for the pilot to bring the two Falcon Heavies to help drive
them off.

==Battle History:==
The Broadside saw extestive use during all phases of Operation Bulldog.

==Variants:==
None at this time but Bodie Industries is know to be reviewing battle roms
from the fighting during Operation Bulldog and there yet may be a newer
version of the Broadside in the works.

==Deployment==
In use with the Fed-Com Military and the DCMS forces.
