Description
The Black Wolf is a 32nd Century, Heavy Class Battle Armor which was originally created by Clan Scientists from both halves of the divided Wolf Clan. The Battle Armor began as a joint project between Clan Wolf and Clan Wolf-in-Exile, as part of a means of reunification between two sundered factions. However, reunification the Black Wolf suggested would not come to pass with the formation of the Wolf Empire in 3142. One of the Black Wolf's deployments would be during the invasion of Tharkad in 3143, where suit uses would turned into symbol of terror for Clan Wolf in Exile's allies in the Lyran Commonwealth.[4]
Armament and Capabilities
The Black Wolf is slow, but mobile. The battle armor suit is able to jump as far as it can trot to its closest enemy under its own power. With its Heavy Battle Claw, the battle armor is able be transported to front lines by OmniMech if needed. The suit is protected by 385 kg of Reactive Armor, giving it heavy resistance to explosive weaponry such as artillery and missile fire.
The Black Wolf operators are able to switch out whatever weapons and equipment is needed for any given mission due to its left arm mounted Module Weapon Mount. Its weapons can be the Inner Sphere built Heavy Mortar, Extended Range Small Pulse Laser, Battle Armor-scale LB-X Autocannon, Heavy Flamer, or the Man-Portable Plasma Rifle.[5]
Notes
With Clan Wolf's move to Lyran/Free Worlds League space, so has the Black Wolf's manufacturing site to Stewart, yet the WiE's manufacturing site continues produce the suit in their Site 2 factory on Arc-Royal. It is unknown what became of the Black Wolf's W-7 factory on Weingarten.[6]
The Black Wolf was originally conceived by Wizkids' MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures game as a part of its Battleforce expansion set. The figure for the Black Wolf battle armor would only be used with a mercenary faction. The battle armor would later adopted by Catalyst Game Labs and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to 3145.
