==Description==
+
* [[Beowulf (BattleMech)|''Beowulf'' (BattleMech)]], the 45-ton BattleMech
Named after the hero of the epic by the same name, the ''Beowulf'' [[BattleMech]] was designed to act as a replacement for [[Mongoose]] 'Mechs that [[ComStar]] lost when [[Terra]] fell to the [[Word of Blake]]. The ''Beowulf'' weighs almost twice as much as the 'Mech it replaces, allowing it to carry a heavier weapons payload and more armor. The ''Beowulf'' has a [[MASC]] augmented top speed of 129.6 km/h that allows it to keep up with most other light 'Mechs. To traverse rough terrain, the ''Beowulf'' has six Odin Type II [[jump jet]]s that allow it to jump up to one hundred and eighty meters. To save weight on the 'Mech and still allow for high speeds, the ''Beowulf'' is powered by a GM 270 [[XL engine]] that weighs half as much as a standard [[fusion engine]]. For protection from enemy fire, the ''Beowulf'' carries eight and a half tons of Wall Type 6 [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor.

* ''[[Beowulf IIC]]'', the Clan-tech successor of the above 'Mech

* [[Beowulf (Individual Congress-class WarShip)|''Beowulf'' (Individual Congress-class WarShip)]], Star League Defense Force frigate
 +
* [[Beowulf (system)]], the planetary system
  
==Armament==
 
The primary weapon on the ''Beowulf'' is a highly accurate Blankenburg [[Large Pulse Laser]]. This is supported by two Diverse Optics Type [[ER Medium Laser]]s. To make it easier for the 'Mech to hunt down its targets, the ''Beowulf'' has a Cyclops-Beagle [[Active Probe]] and also a Garret Mole [[TAG]] target designator that allows the 'Mech to designate targets for [[Arrow IV]] artillery attacks.
