[edit] Description

A BattleMech produced by Wolf's Dragoons, the Imp is designed with weapons that can engage an enemy at a multitude of ranges. The 'Mech has what seems to be a weapon for just about any range or situation and can be called a "Swiss Army Knife" of a 'Mech. The Imp has a maximum speed of 54 km/h, which is not extremely fast, but it does allow it to keep pace with most 'Mechs of the assault class. The 'Mech is also armored with eighteen tons of armor, which is more than respectable for its weight and provides a great deal of protection.

[edit] Armament

The Imp carries, as its primary long range weapons, a pair of Magna Firestar ER PPCs for direct fire and a Mitchell Systems LRM-15. For intermediate combat, the 'Mech carries a Thunderbolt-12 Large Pulse Laser and for short range combat the 'Mech carries two Magna 400P Medium Pulse Lasers and two Martell Model 5 Medium Lasers.
