Description
The Ebony is a Light BattleMech produced jointly by Magistracy of Canopus and the Capellan Confederation. This stealthily BattleMech first appeared in 3081, was reportedly being built in factories on Canopus IV and Sian. The 'Mech is allegedly named for the Magistracy's secret intelligence branch, the Ebon Magistrate.
The design employs 5.5 tons of Stealth Armor and Guardian ECM to allow it move into position to attack its target. A MechWarrior would need to disengaged some of its 20 Double Heat Sinks in order to activate the 'Mech other feature, Triple Strength Myomer. With the TSM engaged, the Ebony is able reached up to speeds of 170 km/h.
When it may its first appearance, the design origins as far where it was build was a mystery to intelligence agencies. Large concentrations of the design were found among Capellan forces on border of the still forming Republic of the Sphere.[2]
Armament
