−	[[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] decided during her reign over the [[Lyran Alliance]] that she wanted a four-legged [[BattleMech]] that would evoke fear in its enemies in a similar vein to the classic ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' and ''[[Banshee (BattleMech)|Banshee]]'' designs. To do this, the '''''Barghest''''' is built on an Earthwerk GRF Quad chassis that supports a Magna 350 [[XL engine]] that saves weight and allows the 'Mech to carry a heavy weapons payload. The ''Barghest'' is protected by thirteen tons of Durallex Heavy armor that protects it from all but the heaviest enemy fire. To handle the 'Mech's heat buildup from its weapons, the ''Barghest'' has ten [[double heat sink]]s.<ref name=TRO:3060R114>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 114, "Barghest 'Mech Profile"</ref>	+	[[Katherine Steiner-Davion]] decided during her reign over the [[Lyran Alliance]] that she wanted a four legged [[BattleMech]] that would evoke fear in its enemies in a similar vein to the classic ''[[Atlas]]'' and ''[[Banshee]]'' designs.

−	*;BGS-2T : The 2T removes the weapons of the 1T model and replaces them with a single [[ER PPC]] and an [[Ultra Autocannon/20]]. The ultra autocannon is capable of firing at twice the rate as a standard autocannon, giving the 2T an incredible amount of short range firepower.

−	*; BGS-4X : Using an [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]] as its main armament, this version of the ''Barghest'' also uses [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] systems to maximize protection and combat effectiveness. The [[Endo Steel]] structure and [[Small Cockpit]] save enough room to allow the 'Mech to carry two [[Light PPC]]s with [[PPC Capacitor]]s in a Quad BattleMech Turret. This device allows the ''Barghest'' pilot to put accurate fire in a 360° arc around the 'Mech. To protect it from an exploding Gauss Rifle, the 'Mech also carries a [[CASE II]] system.
