| + | *The ''[[Burrock (BattleMech)|Burrock]]'', a [[Clan Star Adder]] 75-ton [[Heavy BattleMech]]. |
| − | The late 3050s and early 3060s saw the [[Trial of Refusal#Absorption Right|Absorption]] of [[Clan Burrock]] by [[Clan Star Adder]]. After the proof of collusion with the Bandit Caste, most Burrocks were eager to be rid of the taint of corruption. The Star Adders read this as a desire to join a more powerful [[Clan]], so they were surprised when many former Burrocks clung to that identity. In order to appeal to them, the Star Adder leadership authorized a new [[BattleMech]] to honor them. The '''''Burrock''''' is a fast heavy 'Mech with incredible short-range firepower. Though its [[XL Engine]] leaves it somewhat vulnerable, the ''Burrock'' is protected by twelve and a half tons of armor.<ref name=TRO3067-127/> | + | *The ''[[Burrock (species)|Burrock]]'', an animal that would eventually become the totem of [[Clan Burrock]]. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Weapons and Equipment==
| + | {{disambig}} |
| − | The ''Burrock'' lacks any long-range firepower. It uses its speed to close with enemies as quickly as possible and overwhelm them with its devastating arsenal. Perhaps based on the Beta variant of the ''[[Stormcrow]]'', the ''Burrock'' mounts a Model SH [[Ultra Autocannon/20]] in one arm, while six Series 22a [[Heavy Medium Laser]]s are scattered throughout the rest of the [['Mech]]. Twenty [[double heat sink]]s cannot keep the 'Mech cool, though they try.<ref name=TRO3067-127/>

| − | *;Burrock 2 : This version removes three of the Heavy Medium Lasers and the Ultra AC/20. In their place is a [[HAG/40]] and three [[ER Medium Laser]]s. It carries only fifteen double heat sinks to dissipate the heat. BV(2.0)=2,864<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 221</ref>
