==Overview==
 
==Overview==
The [[Federated Commonwealth]] requested a design to compete against the [[Clan]]s' artillery support 'Mech, the ''[[Naga (OmniMech)|Naga]]''. Investor groups from [[Nashan]] and [[Defiance Industries]], as well as [[Kallon Industries]] formed a new limited company called [[TriTech]], whose home base was on Talon, the moon of [[Wernke]]. TriTech won the contract to produce five hundred of the new '''''Avatar''''' [[BattleMech]]s.

==Description==
 
==Description==
The ''Avatar'' comes with two targeting and tracking computers, one for the main artillery systems and one of the secondary backup weapons. This allows it to fire its artillery at preset coordinates while the pilot uses the secondary weapons. Its [[XL engine|Pitban 320 XL Engine]] combined with Triple-Strength Myomers allow it to move at speeds up to 86.4 km/h, allowing it to keep up with most heavy and assault 'Mechs. The ten [[double heat sink]]s are barely enough to support chained fire. While its nine tons of armor allows it to withstand fire from only light or medium 'Mechs.
