Description
The Devastator was designed by General Kerensky before Stefan Amaris seized the reigns of the Terran Hegemony and production was stalled until the invasion of Terra when six prototypes were delivered to the SLDF. After its deployment in the battle for Terra, the Devastator remained lost to the Inner Sphere until the plans for the 'Mech were found in a Star League base on the world of Hoff. The 'Mech was prototyped in 3033 by the NAIS using technology available at the time. In 3048 the Devastator was finally built using the intended technologies. The Devastator is powered by a Vlar 300 XL Engine giving it a top speed of 54 km/h. The 'Mech is protected by eighteen and a half tons of Durallex Heavy armor and has fourteen double heat sinks to dissipate the 'Mechs waste heat.
Armament
The Devastator carries an arsenal focused on long-range combat. The primary weapons are a pair of Poland Main Model A Gauss Rifles backed up by two Donal PPCs. For close combat, the Devastator carries four Intek Medium Lasers, one of which is mounted in the rear of the center torso to keep enemy infantry from getting too ambitious.
Variants
- DVS-1D - The low-tech version of the Devastator, the 1D used a standard engine, so components had to be downgraded. The Gauss Rifles became Autocannon/10s and the PPCs were replaced with Large Lasers. One ton of armor was removed, while fifteen single heat sinks strained to keep the 'Mech's heat under control. The vast majority of these that were produced were upgraded by the late 3060s, leaving most 1Ds in the hands of the Taurian Concordat.
- DVS-3 - The DVS-3 variant of the Devastator increases the 'Mechs longevity on the battlefield. To do this, the 'Mech has increased its ammunition load for its Gauss Rifles by two tons and the armor protection has been increased by half a ton. The 'Mech mounts a rear mounted Small Laser with the rear mounted Medium Laser, using the weight leftover by the removal of the three forward facing Medium Lasers. BV (1.0) = 2,182
