Description
Produced by Majesty Metals and Manufacturing in 3108, the Agrotera is a Medium Class BattleMech that would go on to serve in both the Magistracy of Canopus and its ally Capellan Confederation. Based on the Word of Blake's variant of the Phoenix Hawk, the Agrotera is designed as a multipurpose and ammunition efficient design.
The designed would see action with the MOC's 1st Magistracy Highlanders on Bethonolog in 3108. In this action against heavier pirates, a pair of Agrotera engaged a full lance of heavy BattleMechs. While trying to buy time for the rest of the Highlanders to arrive, the two 'Mechs managed to force the bandits into submission through the Agrotera's steady delivery of damaging blows against them while out maneuvering them at the same time. Their performance would soon be too much for the pirates and their survivors would end up surrendering just as the rest of the Highlander's heavier units arrived on the scene.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
Designed with advanced technology in mind, the 'Mech's engineers enhanced the Agrotera's design with new advancements made during the Jihad. Like the 3060s redesigned Phoenix Hawk, the 'Mech is fitted with a Full-Head Ejection System, which also makes increased comfort for the MechWarrior. The design also benefits from weight savings by being fitted with a 300-Rated Rawlings Extra-Light Fusion Engine and an Extra-Light Gyro. Its hull is protected by 9.5 tons of Standard Armor. TAG equipment would be fitted to allow the design to use as spotter for fire-support units in the 'Mech formation.
The Agrotera's long-range weapon is its Ceres Arms Smasher Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon mounted in its left arm actuator. The weapon's accuracy is increased due to the fitting of an Actuator Enhancement System. IN addition to the ER PPC, the 'Mech's also has a single Diverse Optics Medium Class Variable Speed Pulse Laser found in the right arm, a regular Medium Pulse Laser, and a pair of Diverse Optics Small Pulse Lasers, one on each of the side torsos as means to deter infantry and Battle Armor threats.[5]
Notes
The Agrotera is fitted with Full-Head Ejection System which can be employed by using advanced Tactical Operations rules.
